A man at university suspects a forward woman of being a honey trap but decides to play along. The woman reveals herself as Aunt Kate, calls him Freddie, says, "After all those years cultivating immortality, I really did forget all this," and admits she nearly committed a serious sin. Later, Alfred is sternly warned not to mess with Leo Ferrell or Deacon Lowe because powerful forces back them, and he's scolded for always getting into trouble. Class starts and he’s promised a reward if he behaves; the warning hangs over his defiant promise, leaving a tense, unresolved threat.
