Bob awaits Livy’s return. He attempts to dry the chicken outfit in the dryer, but it shrinks and the feathers come off. When Livy returns, she does not have any clothes for Bob. However, she excitedly tells Bob that she has discovered why she was unable to remember him when they were reunited: Livy believes that Bob has a magical power that causes people to forget him. She explains that the chipped black pawn helped her to remember him. She is certain that this is why she attempted to take the pawn home with her when she left Gran’s five years ago.

Bob is reassured by this. As Livy explains that Gran placed the chess pieces out in hopes of jogging Livy’s memory—along with the green elephant—Bob grows excited. The green elephant, named Rufus, belongs to Bob. Livy retrieves it for him, and then Bob tells Livy that she initially gifted it to him. When Livy appeared in the chicken coop, she had Rufus with her. Livy hypothesizes that Rufus may have gotten wet after falling into the well. Livy discovers, too, that Bob loves licorice and that he was the one for whom she bought the licorice on her previous trip.
