Aphra Behn traipses through London, trying to stay relatively close to Silver, before eventually losing him. In the foggy night Larissa comes to her. Larissa can sense her enemy now, knows where it is, options are unfurling in front of her. The pair depart towards where Larissa understands it to be.

Jeova, Nate, and Nick depart from St. Paul's, depart towards an old church, burned down in the fire - the local headquarters of Faction Paradox. As they move inside, Plainsong explains to Nate that the Faction has been spying on him for years, intending to use him as a weapon against heaven. He shows Nate a bound figure with a skull face - Cousin Greenaway, they call her. And as they remove her mask, Nate is reunited with Alice Lynch.

Greenaway's, no, Alice's mind reflects back, to her time in captivity, how Plainsong tormented her, took out his rage on her for her betrayal of Silver. Erasmus points her to a tool Plainsong holds on his wrist - a loa-cast, how her cell was trapped, how they can be freed, using the remnants of the Egg still remaining in her. But she can't escape the here and now, Nate's crushing betrayal, his sorrow. But no malice. No curiosity. Nate simply walks away.  

Plainsong stands there, knowing that Nate will be furious with him for this; Alice exhales the last of the Egg at Nick's face. Nick raises his arm, attempting to shield himself, and the Egg surrounds the loa-cast, shifting the world with it. The Egg drops from his arm, the loa-cast broken, Greenaway free, her compatriots free, Jeova fleeing, and the Service springing into action.

Silver walked away from the abandoned church, reflecting on what had transpired, as Aphra Behn arrives, a companion in tow. Jeova rushes out of the building, and Behn's companion springs on him, wielding a silver wand as if to stab him. As the pair grapple, the needle getting tossed aside, black ooze seeps from Jeova, reaching towards the other figure, emitting sound, saying that the woman is to be its path home, its new host. Hearing this, Aphra picks up the needle that has fallen to the ground and lodges it deep inside Jeova.
