On her way home, Mia asks them how her mother was. They all tell her they don't much about her, but she was an exceptional beauty. So, that evening, they watch old footage of a very young and happy Sona playing with her siblings as kids. While talking, Mia reveals she grew up offbeat and finding herself not belonging in the world even once contemplating suicide. Andre assures her that she has a new family now, one that loves and accepts her as her. Nissa and Winnie asks if she is going to accept her new responsibilities to which Mia says she is kinda looking forward to.
While everyone is asleep, Mia receives a phone call from Eddie who says someone wanted to talk to her; the assassin from earlier had captured him. Mia secretly sneaks off to rescue Eddie. When she arrives, she learns it's a trap and tries reasoning with them. The assassin tells her he's gonna put her head on a pike. which she responds "You just took the words out of my mouth!" The two engage in a fierce battle, with the assassin gaining the upper-hand. Just has he is about to stab Mia in the heart, Andre strikes at him. A one-on-one brawl soon becomes a seven-on-one brawl with Jack and Mimi joining. Andre tells Oliver-who was told to stay outside-to rescue Eddie. As they battle, the assassin turns out to be a more fierce opponent. During the fight, he transform into a Greater Demon and when he attempts to strike Andre, Jack jumps in front of him, saving him.
