Kenji, Adam, and Juliette get outfitted for battle by Omega Point’s armorers. Castle gives Juliette her new gloves, which Winston finished the day before he was kidnapped. Juliette is also given a complicated holster and guns. The guns, Castle says, will hopefully be a last resort, and he gives her punching weapon that is a variation on brass knuckles. Kenji wears a black bodysuit and holster, and Adam is dressed in the same T-shirt, cargo shorts, and boots as when he met Juliette at the psychiatric facility. Adam looks at Juliette and then storms off, and Kenji teases her about torturing Adam by looking so good in her suit. They banter, Juliette asking about Kenji’s dating history, and Kenji saying he doesn’t want to hear about her romantic feelings.
Juliette asks why Kenji gets a suit and Adam doesn’t, and Kenji explains the suits are only for those who need them. The solid black of the suit makes it easier for him to become invisible. He quips that the suit also looks good, making Juliette struggle not to laugh. She asks why Adam doesn’t have any guns, but Adam returns, saying he does have weapons; they’re just concealed.
