Jarvis, who has just broken out of jail, is ambushed by officers commanded by a Master and confronted by Terry and Tyler intent on killing him and covering their plot. They boast they lured the Serpent to Riverdale and expect Jarvis to be powerless—his meridians were crippled after fighting the Serpent. During the fight Jarvis suddenly regains power, dispatches Level 6 beasts with ease, and turns the attackers' plan inside out. A wounded foe cries for help as Jarvis advances; the episode closes with Jarvis shouting, "I'll tear you apart!" leaving the attackers' fate unresolved.
