Zem and Char are on their own again, heading north, away from Oceangarde. The past few days have been the most trying of their lives, and it doesn't seem that trend will be ending anytime soon. Tensions are running high, and Zemira has finally worked up the courage to ask her pendulum the question she's had on her mind since that night at Ascension Point.

This episode is silly, a little serious, and (as always) a good time.
