Misha hosts his Bait Concert and Nadia shows up. After a few failed attempts at asking her to leave him be, he turns his power against her and commits makercide (is that a word?)

Misha and Xena show off their animal forms, have a good conversations about sires and the future and seal their friendship with a kiss

Alice is intent to size up Misha for herself, but the conversation instantly turns sour, Xena steps in, Alice flies, Safi shows up, a raccoon phone is taken hostage.

Misha confides in Safi about Nadia being alive, and the suggesion his maker placed on him. Safi gracefully succeeds in breaking the chain, and Misha now has to embrace this new freedom of the mind

A confused Emil teleports himself out of his house after burning his blankets, a kind Evelina helps him out with this new power and fails to suggest him into not using flames in Alder. Whoopsie!

After the title of Domina is conferred to Safiya, Alby decides it's overdue that he know her. They engage in a game of truths, learn a little about each other, and ultimately decide they can make this work.

Safiya confronts Raziyya about what happened at the masquerade ball. Boundaries are established, and Safiya's doubts about her loyalty to Eventide and her mother are laid to rest. They look to the future.

When Alby doesn't pass into deadsleep one morning, he summons Raziyya to give her the good news--and to convince him to come out of the house.

On the search for Rika, Grace fucks around and finds out when Safiya catches her snooping in the planetarium.

A successful suggestion leads to an unlikely alliance between Charlie and Raziyya.

Raziyya confirms Alby's ascension to being her Praetor. He's actually kind of excited about it now.

After a dominus' needling he didn't deserve, Alby becomes Raziyya's praetor.
