While Sam calls Daniel and they banter about money so that Daniel will think he's just doing it for money because that's what Capricans are like because Sam is racist just like everybody else, the Blessed Mother comes down to visit Diego and discuss how the currently fucked-up and frakking Lacy Rand is big old trouble in little Gemenon due to her being magic on robots. Is this some kind of Clarice bullshit? Diego doesn't know. It's a secret! Let's find out the answer!
But no, the Blessed Mother explains, in fact it is not a secret, it's a mystery. Which is to say, to paraphrase Alan Moore, that secrets have answers, while mysteries get killed in mysterious accidents down at child terrorist camp, so the Blessed Mother doesn't have to deal with this, because Clarice Willow is a thorn in the Blessed Mother's ass, and frankly this magic robot girl situation is giving the Blessed Mother a headache the size of Zeus -- if we believed in Zeus -- and so maybe Diego should stop worrying about secrets and give in to the mystery instead. And then maybe if Lacy were to die accidentally, Diego might just take the place of advisor Obal Ferras, last seen getting dramatically stabbed to death by about a million monks thanks to Diego and to Clarice's total spookiness.
Amanda left Jordan at the hospital, stable and in Cottle's care, and came home to feel bad about how she got in over her head with the cult that killed their daughter. (I'd just committed suicide and taken up smoking hash and my dead brother was all over the place, and you had joined the Mob and were having people killed, and it was just a very confusing time.) Daniel tells Serge to call the GDD and she belays that shit because obviously it was Singh that shot him, so then Daniel offers to hack the holoband instead. But whoops, she left that at the scene of the guy getting shot by the people that want it.
