ABM and Dandy are talking in her office. He says that all he needs Dandy to do is to trail him, and apply some pressure. Dandy smirks, saying that she loves the "pressure" part. He tells her not to go too far though, he promised Amber that they'd just scare the guy off. Dandy asks why Amber doesn't want to go through more official channels, and ABM says that she feels stupid for being worried. Dandy says that if some creepy professor followed her across the country, she'd be out of her mind by now. ABM says that Amber's always been one to downplay a situation, and she doesn't like to cause hassle for anyone. ABM continues, saying that however, he has no problem causing a ruckus, especially for Amber. Dandy asks how come he's so eager to put himself out for here, and ABM says that when nobody else took a chance on him when he first arrived, Amber gave him a job - and a shoulder to lean on. She was the only reason he survived those first few months readjusting to live on a new Board, and he will always be grateful for that. From the doorway, Stormy makes mock-gagging noises, saying that ABM sounds like a Hallmark card. Dandy asks Stormy if she has a reason for being here, and Stormy says that she just wanted to see how they were settling in. Dandy again asks Stormy what she's doing here, and Stormy just laughs, saying that AngelX wanted her to make sure you guys weren't up to anything nefarious. Anymore, anyway. ABM snarks that when AngelX asked Stormy to do that, he's sure she meant to do it without their knowledge, and that maybe Stormy isn't cut out for the spy game. Stormy pouts, then walks away. ABM turns back to Dandy, saying that everything would be a lot easier if people would get off their case. Dandy says that there isn't a hope in hell of that happening, and then switches back to their original conversation, asking him when he'd like her to "apply the pressure". Dandy winks as she says this, and ABM smirks. He gets up, closes the door, and tells her that first, she has to take a nooner. And that's an order.

At Gemma's, she and Salty are surrounded by designs and sketches, with three distinct piles having been made. Salty asks Gemma for the final verdict on the one she's holding in her hand, and Gemma says to put it in the "possible" pile. Salty places it in the pile of sketches next to her, and remarks that the "definetly" pile is a lot bigger than the other two. She says that Gemma's gonna have to finalise a decision soon, otherwise Salty won't have enough time left to get the contractors in and start work. Gemma says not to worry, they'll push back the reopening if they have to. Salty asks Gemma if she can afford to do this, that this renovation is already going to cost her quite a lot, considering the size of the place. Gemma says that she's been a careful saver over the years, and if she has to stay closed for a little bit longer, she can manage. Salty shrugs, and picks up another drawing, asking Gemma what she thinks of this one.

At the hospital, SeaBoy and GP are still talking, with Veggie sitting the background. GP is asking SeaBoy why he's so insistent that Wolfram isn't dead, and SeaBoy tries to explain that Wolfram's been speaking to him from beyond, but stops, realising that it sounds stupid and desparate. GP points out that SeaBoy lost a very important person in that explosion, and he's probably suffering from "survivor guilt". SeaBoy snarks a "whatever" back at her, but he's given up arguing. GP turns to Veggie, and says she's going to prescribe Dymazopol, to help him sleep better, and to repress REM sleep. SeaBoy asks if that won't affect him oddly, but GP says that there are no known long-term effects of the drug. SeaBoy says that he really doesn't need any drugs, he's perfectly sane. GP smiles, and says that she's sure he believes that, then gets up to leave. As she does so, she gives Veggie a slip of paper, on which it tells her to slip the Dymazopol into his saline drip, as he obviously won't take the drug voluntarily. Veggie looks up at her, and mouths "Isn't that wrong?", and GP whispers back at Veggie to grow a pair, and do what's best for the patient. Veggie crumples the slip of paper, and throws it in the bin. SeaBoy is watching this, surreptiously, and as Veggie and GP exit, he runs to the bin, and reads the crumpled paper. He throws it back in his bin, and calls out to Wolfram, saying that its now or never.

At Morgain's house, she comes into the living room with a tray of herbal tea, and sets it down on the table. Dandy and Amber both take a mug, and Morgain takes the third, swallowing two pills before drinking. Dandy asks what she's taking, and Morgain says that it's just advanced painkiller for her back problems. She asks Dandy if she's feeling OK since the explosion, and says that if she has any leftover aches or pains, that she should really try this stuff. Dandy says that she didn't think Morgain ever used traditional drug-medication, and Morgain says that everything has it's time and place. Dandy turns to Amber, asking her if she wants to do this. Amber nods, but is clearly worried.

Later on, Amber is walking down a dark street. She is alone, and looking around nervously. She gets a text on her phone - it's Dandy, who says that she's doing a good job. She's not too far behind, not to worry. Amber glances back, and sure enough, there's Dandy, looking "inconspicuous". Just then a man walks onto the street, the same man from the pharmacy, and the office. He moves closer and closer to Amber, until he gets clocked from behind. He falls to the floor, clutching his head, revealing Dandy standing behind him, holding a baseball bat. She scrambles on top of him, hitting him in the stomach, as he tries to beat her off. Dandy yells at him, saying to stay away from Amber, or there'll be some serious pain in his future. Amber looks on, frightened. After a few moments, the man screams out, saying that he's not here to hurt anybody. Dandy stops hitting him, saying that that's not what it looked like from her point of view. The man asks her to look in his wallet, in his jacket pocket. She warily pulls it out, and opens it. Inside, is a calling card - "Camel Investigations". Dandy asks what this is, and the man says that he's Joe Camel, and he's a private investigator. Dandy looks confused, and whirls around, asking Amber what is going on - but Amber has already fled the scene.

Over at Gemma's restaurant, she closes the door, saying goodbye to Salty. She locks it again, and goes to switch the lights off. Just then, a figure comes out from the back room - Toothy. He asks Gemma how the meeting with Salty went, and Gemma says that it went fine. She wants to know if he has her money. He throws a bag into the middle of the restaurant floor, and says that the entire $50,000 is there. He tells Gemma that she should trust him enough by now to know that he isn't playing her. He begins to remind her of the deadline for repayment, but Gemma interrupts, saying that she knows the terms of the loan. Toothy says that as long as she does what is asked of her, there won't be any problems at all, and they can soon end their arrangement together. Gemma says that's fine with her, as Toothy turns to leave the way he came.

At the hospital, SeaBoy warily approaches a door. He looks inside, and doesn't see anybody than the body lying in the bed. He opens the door slowly, takes another look inside, then enters quickly, closing the door. He whispers out for Wolfram, but he doesn't appear. He goes to the edge of the bed, and says that this better work, because he doesn't have much time. He closes his eyes, and repeats the Latin we heard last episode. When he finishes chanting, he opens his eye - but the body hasn't moved. He sighs, whispering to the air that he tried, when suddenly the body sits upright, gasping - it's Shrub. SeaBoy turns, shocked, and with a tear in his eye, calls out Wolfy's name. Shrub takes a moment to take in her surroundings, then looks SeaBoy in the eye, simply saying "thankyou".

Gemma begins the renovations on her restaurant, but finds herself deeper than she thought when Toothy begins making demands on her.

Shrub's miraculous recovery baffles the doctors, but only SeaBoy knows the truth behind the awakening. Can they keep it a secret?

ABM and Dandy confront Amber over her lie, but she confesses an even darker secret - is this the real reason she's back?

Morgain's reliance on the painkillers turns into something more, when she realises she can't go one hour without taking them - is she heading on a downward spiral?
