At a candlelit banquet, Kai sits at King Kitt’s right and notes Kitt’s gaunt, hoarse state, suggesting he has not rested. Across from Kai, Paedyn Gray sits poised; Kai wrestles with jealousy at Kitt and Paedyn’s quiet closeness and with his divided loyalties. Andy and her partner Jasmyn tease Kai for staring at Paedyn, highlighting his unresolved feelings.

Kitt rises to toast Paedyn as the future queen, praising her bravery and benevolence and invoking her coming brutality, ending with “Long live the Silver Savior.” As the court follows reluctantly, Paedyn’s attention fixes on Blair, who sits beside Lenny at Lenny’s father’s side, looking familiar and at ease together. Paedyn’s expression turns cold and dangerous.

Paedyn abruptly stands and offers a counter-toast: “To the Ordinaries, and every unjust death. May they be avenged,” directing it at Blair. Blair pointedly echoes “To the Ordinaries.” The court murmurs uneasily before conversation resumes. Kai comments on the civility; Paedyn calls it a threat. Kitt quietly reminds Paedyn he cannot let her harm Blair, while Paedyn insists she cannot let Blair live. Kai urges restraint until Paedyn is queen; Kitt underscores that ruling requires hiding truth, motives, and self, revealing a hard edge reminiscent of their father.

Seeking relief, Paedyn proposes visiting the wine cellar Kitt used to sneak to. The trio withdraws there and drink together. In the cellar, they reminisce: Kitt recounts a childhood incident where young Kai, testing a theory that an Elite could fly, jumped from a stable roof, crashed into Kitt, and broke Kitt’s leg (and one of Kai’s ribs). The story loosens them into laughter, briefly returning them to carefree camaraderie.

Paedyn observes that she likes them this way—carefree and together. Kitt turns serious, telling Kai he misses him and “us,” and Kai reassures him he is still present. Kitt’s tone snaps with “Haven’t you?” before he masks it with laughter. He lifts his bottle and toasts “To old times,” a moment that exposes both affection and the strain beneath Kitt’s facade.
