Mister Fixit

At the clinic, Clea is wasting Jake's time with some animal-noise flashcards. Jake's more interested in the toy car he's playing with. Claire kind of crosses a line by snatching it away and holding it in front of her face to try to get some eye contact, but Jake just reclaims the car without looking at her and leaves the room. He rolls the car along the wall, all the way down the back hallway to door 6, that same door that seemed to fascinate him last week. Claire wonders why that door is special. Because Jake just rolled the toy car under it, that's why. Now he's got no car, but on the other hand Clea's got no leverage for her cheap tricks.

Grace sees some boys dancing and sticks her nose into their business. Apparently their plan is to sneak into the computer lab so one of the boys, Thabo, can get online and compete against the Beastmaster in the Worldwide Dance Battle. This competition makes less sense the more we learn about it. Grace is a total buzzkill, saying Thabo needs to read and write. Apparently Grace's brother is a side member of Soweto's Best Dance Crew, holding the coveted position of playing Grace's cooking pot, which she grumpily reclaims. He whines, "You used to be one of us." Before they were born? Because they're a good fifteen years apart in age.

Kiefer pursues the Invisible Prince (who is neither invisible nor Prince. Discuss) to an intersection where he spots a woman, whispers "3287," and taps the button for the walk sign just before the woman distractedly crosses the street. The Prince says that was too close and rushes off to his next appointment while Kiefer wonders what he's missing. The Prince sticks a rose from a flower stand onto a bus bench while Kiefer tries to quiz him and talk about Jake some more. "I think he wants me to help you somehow." "He wants you to stop the pain," the Prince says, while a woman sits on the bus bench and sniffs the flower. Kiefer watches that moment before following the Prince while he stares at an apartment building called the Claremont. "Who lives here?" Kiefer asks nosily. No answer, and soon they're hurrying down the sidewalk again. Kiefer asks about the dragon. The Prince says he tried to give the king the magic sword needed to kill it, but the king thought it was a trick and buried it behind stone walls in "the mountain of Clare." Not catching that particular snap, Kiefer still plays along, asking if the Prince can get it back. "You don't know much about magic swords, do you?" The Prince snots. "I can't even touch it." Kiefer starts getting grumpy and demanding more information, like the Prince asked for him to show up, but suddenly he realizes that the woman from the crosswalk and the woman from the bus bench are converging outside a building across the street. Kiefer asks what it means that these two women are together at the same place at the same time, but gets no answer again. Then he notices the building the women just entered has a dragon insignia above the entrance and the name Morton-Starling, so he heads right over to get to the bottom of this. Which should be easy enough, right?
