Alone in the world now, Dome is looking for a job when he meets Anthika. Though it pains him, Khatha assumes that by keeping his distance, Dome will be kept safe with the anklet's aid. Meanwhile, an escaped artifact yearning for connection assembles a mannequin that comes to life.

"The One" makes himself known, bringing about a horrifying game Khatha cannot evade.

Dome manages to put through a garbled call to the museum's payphone. Desperate to return Dome to his body, Khatha contacts a man with a prior connection to the payphone.
