During a mission to seize a ruby from a Gargoyle, a team waits for the creature to turn its back so someone can grab the jewel. The Gargoyle's cue arrives, but it suddenly moves much faster and bolts into the air, prompting suspicion it gained an enhanced ability. One teammate cries cheating, but the rules never forbid flight, so the protest fails. David is pushed forward to try for the ruby while the group races the clock. With the Gargoyle airborne and seconds dwindling, the gem stays out of reach.
