Inside a quiet room, two allies plan their next move while one defends Jesse after preparing his favorite soft‑boiled eggs; the same person calls Jesse "my disciple," saying the gesture proves trust. The other reports Sam has really gone abroad and that a formidable relative of the Zeal family has arrived. Tension rises as the newcomer is described as no pushover. The mentor's trust in Jesse and the group's hardening resolve culminate in a vow: they will show no mercy to any Zeal. The episode ends with that vow hanging over an imminent confrontation.
