(Deadline plays)
Dr. Beefton continues on to explain that he "has a PhD in death" as well as a doctorate in philosophy and modern linguistics, to which no-one responds. Giovanni asks Molly if she can de-summon Dr. Beefton, she cannot, which makes them both even more distressed. he attempts to attack his opponents and miss before Giovanni's attempts to fling the knife taped to his bat at Dr. Beefton, but it failed.
Giovanni asks for his knife which causes Dr. Beefton to throw it at him, missing. Giovanni rambles before Molly looks for a weak spot, spotting Sylvie’s sleeping body suspended inside his torso. From this she deduces that all they have to do to beat him is to wake him up. With her realization Dr. Beefton becomes more aggressive and charges at them. He manages to hit Molly causing her to fly up into the air and land on the floor. Giovanni attempts to hit him again but it fails, because there is "too much beef in the way". Molly tries to think of a way to escape before Dr. Beefton tries to crush her. Giovanni distracts him using his red cape to cause Dr. Beefton to charge at him, crashing into the wall.
This causes some lights from the ceiling to fall down. Giovanni attempts to shine the lights into Dr. Beefton's torso to wake up Sylvie but Dr. Beefton buttons up his jacket, blocking the light. Dr. Beefton grabs the bears from Fort Cool Guy and repeatedly bashes Giovanni with them. Giovanni is injured but uses his once-per-battle Ancient Potion (which is a bottle of soup materialized from his sweat) to heal, smugly saying that all his attacks have so far been useless. Dr. Beefton proceeds to hit him some more before Molly triggers the fire alarm. The piercing sound causes Dr. Beefton to cover his ears in discomfort and protest before shrinking and disappearing as Sylvie wakes up. He is exhausted and disheartened and utterly defeated. Giovanni triumphantly “promotes” Molly up one Banzai Rank as Sylvie crawls away with the intent to warn the police about them. They explain to Sylvie that Mera was the one going to steal the amulet but Sylvie continues to be skeptical. He wails in dismay when he sees all the damage Dr. Beefton wreaked on the museum and wonders if he could plead self-defense, before Giovanni points out that he attacked them first. Molly offers to be his friend, which he declines, due to them being criminals. However, after some more convincing on Molly’s part, Sylvie begrudgingly agrees to work with them.
Molly disrupts Sylvie and Giovanni's arguing to point out that the police are coming due to the fire alarm. Mera realizes the same thing and, panicked, wakes up Indus by smacking him with a crowbar. She frantically searches for the amulet while Indus unconcernedly talks about sand, quickly finding it. Cutting back to Molly, Giovanni, and Sylvie, Molly asks about Giovanni’s bat with a knife taped onto it, which he calls his Soul Slugger Doom Bat. Sylvie calls it a toy and Giovanni responds with a remark on Sylvie’s yo-yo, leading them into another heated debate until Molly breaks them up. Sylvie asks her why she’s even with Giovanni, prompting her to talk about her dead mother. Sylvie offers her his business card, which has his number, and says that she’s free to come over to his office anytime. She politely says that she can’t afford a therapist, and he responds by saying that the first session is free. Molly gives him her business card in return and the three try to come up with a plan.
Indus stops them from entering the backroom (where Mera is) and asks for Molly to come with him so they can test the amulet. Molly tries to decline before Sylvie attempts to intervene. He starts an inner monologue with himself to figure out how to best deceive Indus and get to Mera and the amulet. However, he overthinks too hard on the simple situation and ends up maniacally playing mental chess with himself while on the outside he’s been standing in front of Indus for forty seconds twitching and not blinking. Indus politely interrupts him with a reminder that Sylvie can see the amulet. Sylvie snaps out of it and sheepishly follows Indus’ directions to the room. After Sylvie is gone, Indus turns his attention back to Molly, trying to coax her into seeing Mera. Molly is about to give in when Giovanni blocks her from Indus, bravely proclaiming that if she won’t stand up for herself, then he will. Indus is overcome with awe, remarking that while Molly is his minion, Giovanni is still willing to protect her, almost like they’re bodyguarding each other! He agrees to fight Giovanni in an honorable duel, easily winning due to Giovanni getting distracted with assuring Molly that he’ll win. Giovanni is knocked unconscious by Indus’ barrier and Molly collapses to the floor, devastated at the fact that he got hurt because he tried to protect her. Before leaving for the storage room with Indus, she asks why Mera wants her epithet so much, as it’s not very powerful or useful. Indus explains that while Mera’s epithet is extremely strong, it comes with a cost. The camera slides over to Sylvie entering the storage room and Mera in the back. She smiles and shards of glass erupt from the floor as Sylvie summons his Counting Sheep. Indus says Mera’s epithet keeps her in great pain at all times, and after searching for so long for a way to rid her of it, they finally discovered the amulet: a way to gain a second epithet, one that could counteract her pain.
