Someone calls David as they face a Gargoyle while Mason lies petrified and her soulmate remains unharmed, raising hope the petrified might be saved. A fighter assesses the Gargoyle as Level C; normally at Level D, he can boost to Level B with a timed skill. With 90 seconds left he decides to seize that advantage and press the attack. The Gargoyle taunts, "Let's make this game more interesting," and others cry, "Cheating again?" The episode ends as he launches his power-up and charges, the rescue still unresolved.
