When a man claiming to be the Lord returns, he issues bizarre orders — demanding a woman's underwear and ordering clan members to wash and present every pair under threat of death. They note he knows martial arts and suspect Milo's identity is complex, while the Lord searches for the woman who accompanied him. He orders Clouner Mountain dismantled because he "can't find any person" or an exit; seven of twelve divisions are torn down. Fearful the Peony Banner will be removed, a messenger goes to see the Lord and a volunteer insists on going, leaving the clan's fate unresolved.
