Darkness punctured by a grief choked scream.
nearly a week since sun rose over the lake waters and was not hidden by storm clouds
waves washing up debris both natural and ripped from the foundation of the city
empty boat it’s occupants gathering by their battered companions
damaged clans, lifelong scars will prevent them from joining again
2 women lying down surrounded by 7 sisters (the Ikeda’s)

Scale of Inubis
Mora
there is a balance scale with a feather on one side, the other tray is empty
when she puts the item (backgammon game) it weighs down the scale with the weight of what Mora’s done.
Mora has a choice, take a crack in her Assassin theme to relieve the weight which she chooses to do without hesitation
She is given a riddle
By darkness Cursed, by atom blessed
Mixed with thy blood to disturb thy rest
How does one see the wrong from right
When you willingly walked into the night?
Excalibur
puts the record on the scale. Zelda Moxie’s version of “oh my love” (based on the poetry of Alexandra Excalibur). the song plays and it’s about a chance at happiness that was lost by her sense of duty.
the scale is weighed down by the weight of Excalibur’s obligations.
she’s given the choice of taking a crack in her Social Justice(not sure the exact title sorry) theme. She does it
she is given a riddle
The edge of the sword caused a house divided
The point of the sword is she re-united
By thicker than water and stronger than vow
To decide if the weapon is sword or is crown
Dee
puts the jewelry box on the scale. It opens and there’s a cute little mini Mask Of Tiamat.
she’s given the choice of taking a crack in her Mask of Tiamat theme
she has to think about it. In the end she’s excited to take part in an ancient Egyptian ritual so she does it.
she is given a riddle
Mirror Mirror door and gate
A cake a key a split in fate
Where one passed through, now 2 instead
But are you the black, or are you red?
Francis
cuts the cup out of his body (gross) and puts in on the scale
the mug oozes something and you hear the screeching of tires
Francis’s accident and the baggage from that is weighing down the scale
He is given the choice of taking a crack in the Man I Was Before theme. Which he does
he is given a riddle
The mountain fades into the stone
But what becomes of whittled bone?
Passed by mother unto thee
Made by stone, of bone and tree
Kit
puts the Origami tree on the scale
it is weighed down by keys and all of Kits deceptions
they are given the choice of a crack in their Trickster Fox Spirit
Kit exclaims that “it’s all I have” but they also remember Cy’s sacrifice at the prison to help them. So they accept the crack and the keys drop with a clang
they are given a riddle
A coin from the bank will do the trick
When paid by the still, the journey is quick
When paid by the quick, all is made still
When born of the flesh, a wheel as it will
Afterwards
Tamika- is in there for a while
Eugenia checks in with Kit and Kat
Kat is worried about going in. Kit explains that you have to face something that holds your heart down, for me it’s lies. Kat goes in
Dee and Francis talk. Francis asks for help keeping a grip on his humanity by helping figure out what happened in the accident
she advises him to talk to Lucas.
Dee asks if Lucas is single
Kat comes out, looks angry and storms off, Eugenia advises Kit to give him a minute.
Mora feels a lot lighter
Oza clutches the one remaining canopic jar and enters. There’s a pause, a click, and the illusion begins to turn back into the city that you know.
The crew is at Capricorn park standing by a memorial for those lost to the river
oza is not there- candle and a note that says thank you.
3 prone bodies, unconscious, hurt but not gonna die.
Eugenia calls 911 for the unconscious dudes
Francis considers finishing the warden off, but he walks away instead
kit calls Flicker- “What do we have on the Warden that we can use to put him away?”
Eugenia tells Kat a car will take him home, he tenses at the word home
Prescilla arrives, she’s wearing gloves which she usually doesn’t
Season 2 epilogues
Mora- her apt. Lighting on her messages on phone that are unanswered and un- opened. These are professional requests that she’s ignoring
-next to it is a book that is about the Lore of Sekmet
Francis- rooftop-looking at the city-grows wings and sails out over the city-see a sense of thoughtful calm on his face. This is home and something I gotta hang on to.
Eugenia - arrives in winegarden. Sits down with Prescilla to discuss what’s happened since the wedding. And does other business.
Kit- holding Kats hand in the car. Kit goes to Penthouse, sees apartment and sees Thea and she’s worried, “where have you been?” Kit says “stop thank you for being here but I gotta do this for real” The penthouse changes, it’s empty, and Thea Fades. All that’s left is a little sleeping bag and a few things where Kit’s bedroom was. They gather their things and step out into the city.
Alex - Dee’s shop, and the Mask of Tiamat is creepily vibrating and glowing.
After credits geeking out
-did it start from Gams?
-the spy you sent was Felicity, you also murdered a goon at the Plumbers, and after Francis asked Uriah to spy on the Warden. He also thinks you murdered Ian Chow
-Mora want to change to a more protective theme rather than assassin
-MC’s original concept was the items were the 13 pieces of Osiris’s body, if all the pieces had made it Cy could have resurrected. But he abandoned that idea early on
-if a person is willing to sacrifice something they will get a riddle to help with their own stuff.
-Eeth and Nef are still out there, Dreary and Jackie are fine.
-loose ends. Francis has rug and pawn
