At a city dump, former heir Xaden (Mr. Lane) is publicly taunted by Munira, who pressures him not to reveal their past and flaunts a new boyfriend. The Rose Guard, led by Commander Jennett Gore, unexpectedly arrives; Jennett treats Xaden politely and demands a private, important discussion, ordering civilians cleared. Munira amplifies her insults and others label him worthless, while observers are shocked by the Commander's courtesy toward someone in the dump. The episode ends with the crowd whispering, "How could he know the Commander?", leaving Xaden's connection to Jennett unresolved.
