Persephone excitedly describes her trip to the Underworld to Artemis, Apollo, and Hermes as they drive. Apollo says that Hades was just trying to have sex with Persephone. Artemis and Hermes protest, but Apollo insists he is just being realistic. Persephone tells them to stop talking about her as if she is not there.

Apollo offers to help Persephone carry a large bag of rice, but she refuses. In the kitchen of Artemis and Persephone’s house, Persephone asks why they broke their rule about letting men in the house. Artemis insists that it is fine because Apollo is her brother. She apologizes for his weird behavior. Persephone volunteers to cook dinner.

Artemis goes to confront Apollo about being rude to Persephone. Persephone comes and tells them she slipped with a kitchen knife and cut herself.

The towel Persephone holds to her hand is sodden with gold ichor, the gods’ blood. Hermes and Artemis rush off to look for a first aid kit (Hermes wants to use the opportunity to touch all of Artemis’s things). Artemis tells Apollo to take care of Persephone.

Apollo puts his coat on Persephone and lifts her onto the counter.
