At the Xavier betrothal, Mia's grandfather hands her the family heirloom and accuses Commander Zane and Adjutant Collins of murdering Daniel Xavier and destroying the family, leaving Mia the sole, permanently maimed survivor. He insists Zane must die and orders Mia to kill him that night. Mia protests and mutters, "I've gone back in time?" Others dismiss that. Grandpa says it's a trap Zane set: if Mia doesn't act tonight, Zane will kill her and the Xavier family. The episode ends with Mia forced to decide whether to obey.
