Juliette notes Nazeera’s conversational reticence and focus on her brother. Meanwhile, Haider is primarily interested in Warner. Kenji summons Juliette to base to speak to Castle and offers to show Nazeera around Sector 45. Juliette quietly chides him for being so transparent in his interest in Nazeera. Nazeera gently rejects Kenji, who is undeterred; instead, he is flattered by Nazeera’s mild compliment.

Juliette thinks about how her life is characterized by frequent revelations, and that even the harmless ones remind her of her ignorance, especially regarding Warner’s history. She thinks of the contrast between how powerful she felt when she killed Anderson and how overwhelmed she feels mere weeks later.

As she returns to base, someone shoots her while her superpowers are inactive. She uses her powers to protect her from subsequent bullets, but the first one, which hit her shoulder, was laced with a poison that incapacitates her. Someone grabs her from behind, attempting to choke her, but Nazeera saves her just as Juliette passes out.
