Dee hurries to Slycer’s maze, where she thinks the Postman and all the Painiacs await her. After finding Gassy Al’s corpse, Dee believes the Postman wants her to kill all the Painiacs. Dee feels prepared to face them thanks to Mara’s knowledge of their foibles.
Returning to the warehouse where she first woke up on Alcatraz 2.0, Dee finds that a large space has been converted to AstroTurf. The Barbaric Barista bicycles into the set accompanied by an indie music soundtrack. Dee finds his appearance, with his man-bun, skinny pants, flip-flops, and long manicured beard and waxed mustache, comical. He carries a bag filled with red Frisbees. BB bikes around the field, tossing exploding Frisbees at Dee. She realizes that he is arming each Frisbee just before he throws it by flicking a switch underneath. Dee distracts Barbaric Barista with a comment about his beard, rushes him, reaches into his bag, flips a switch, and bolts away, twisting her ankle. BB tries to take off his bag, but the Frisbee explodes, blowing him to bits.
Dee takes BB’s flip-flops and finds another bag full of Frisbees in the hallway. Dee follows the twisty maze until a metal gate drops behind her and a flaming arrow thuds into the wall by her head.
