After a visit to Mr. Dylan—apparently careless but versed in the Lamp-Igniting Technique—a patient hopes he can cure their ailment. They warn that if the cure fails, Harry will go after Wanda's family and they 'won't stand a chance.' Afterwards the patient's spouse shows up, nervously saying the patient has become a thorn to Harry and pleading for caution. The pair trade anxious, half-joking barbs about remarriage, being a 'jinx,' and 'free love,' revealing brittle fear. The episode ends with the cure unproven and Harry's threat still looming, forcing an urgent choice next.
