Nick unexpectedly reunites with Tris, both shocked to find each other in the same place marked by matching dagger tattoos. Their reunion is cut short when another man aggressively claims the young Nightwyrm dragon, insisting it belongs to him because his injured Firewyrm needs its bloodline. He belittles Nick as unworthy and insults Tris, causing a tense confrontation. Despite the claims, the Nightwyrm was summoned by Tris, complicating ownership. The episode ends with mounting conflict over the dragon’s loyalty and the challenge to Nick and Tris’s bond left unresolved.
