The next day at school, Izzy advises Owen to forget about his Oreos, and Owen tells Izzy that Mason carries a switchblade that he hides in his sock.

Jeremy and Owen go to another demolition site and find the last remaining piece for Nemesis. He confirms the date they need to see, and he is disturbed by how easily Jeremy can talk about the date. He asks if Jeremy can borrow a retro magazine from Arthur, explaining that he needs the magazines and how Nemesis will work, noting that she listens carefully but does not understand. He notices that she enjoys her part in Nemesis. Arthur agrees to let Owen borrow her magazines in exchange for his closet full of boys’ clothes.

That night, Owen and Jeremy install the piece in Nemesis. Once again, Owen explains the procedure and notes Jeremy’s concentration and enjoyment despite her inability to understand.

Zelda takes Owen and Jeremy to a puppet show the next day despite their complaints. She is hurt when Jeremy continues to refer to her as Zelda. The show is inappropriate, and they leave. Zelda takes on the Circle Line boat ride around Manhattan. Jeremy mentions that their Mom and Dad once took them on the Circle Line tour.
