Dawn tries to convince Wyatt to hire her for the dig, but he is reluctant, still surprised by her appearance, and wondering why she is there. He finally agrees to get her a work permit, and introduces her to the other workers. During his tour of the dig, she sees that the dig’s methods have become more technology-based in the past 15 years. Wyatt tells her that he has found the tomb of Djehutynakht, son of Teti, an exciting discovery that no one outside of his team knows about. He will take her there after she gets permission to work the site.

While they travel to Minya to get her work permit, they make awkward small talk. She tells him about her work as a death doula, and he updates her on what has happened in their field since she left. She reveals that she has a daughter and is married. Wyatt reflects that her current occupation as a death doula was not so different from her studies in Egyptology. 

In Minya, while they wait for the permit office to open, Wyatt admits that the work they did together was fundamental to his discovery of the tomb. He had finally found it beneath other tombs, and believes that Djehutynakht was responsible for the necropolis.
