Netherton appears inside the Wheelie boy ahead of Flynne. He is greeted by Clovis Raeburn. He sees Flynne with the headband on as well as Burton and Connor. As he waits for Flynne, Netherton asks to be placed near a window.

Flynne returns and offers to take Netherton with her to eat. First, she must travel through the maze of tunnels that have been constructed between headquarters and Sushi Barn. Netherton points out, ironically, how what they have constructed is like some kind of primitive game. Flynne tells Netherton that Griff and Lowbeer are sort of the same person. Netherton then reveals to Flynne that he hates the world he lives in.

Tommy arrives and visits Flynne. He notifies her that Homes is sending a contingent force to take apart Coldiron USA. Tommy indicates that Homes has been corrupted, though by whom he does not know.
