05 The Fugitive

Burble and Lady Jenwy share a moment in the Park, talking about the moment of Déjà Vu he just had, and about her love of sports. She is so thankful the trio is going to attempt to save athletic games in the city and get to the bottom of what's going on and, as she grasps him hands to think him again, the rest of the Freehold sneaks into the shop to spy on them! Dette's plan remains in effect: have her AHL team, the Canada Geese, play an exhibition scrimmage in order to bring joy to those who can no longer play and, hopefully, draw out the mysterious happenings in the city. Mickyl will be on security, and insists on designing and launching t-shirts into the crowd with "Good Sport" printed on them (although Burble does his best to jazz up the design). 
As the puck drops and play commences, the crowd is excited. An unfortunate trip causes Mickyl to launch fresh pretzels into the crowd, and one ends up on Dette's stick -- after she scores, she tosses it back into the crowd where it's caught by Ottawa's mayor! As Mickyl and Burble both realize the mysterious trenchcoat-ed figure is at the back of the room, Dette's teammates start to get rowdy, calling for her to "stop showboating". The clurichaun takes a dive to cast Flicker Flies on her captain, bringing a sense of calm and good-naturedness to those present.
As the first period comes to an end, Mickyl grabs the trenchcoated figure and attempts to scare him into giving up his secrets. He appears to be just a mortal, refusing to acknowledge anything strange is going on, until he removes a strange device from his pocket and tells them he "can't turn the thing off... I'm just doing what I was told to do." 
Meanwhile, in the locker room, Dette takes a few hits to get her team's aggression out and, sensing the game is about to go critical out on the ice, makes a heartfelt plea to the city of Ottawa to save athletic competition for its Dreamers as she casts an arena-wide Flicker Flies. 
The strange man in the trenchcoat, revealed now to be a piskey, collapses with stigmata blooming on his hands -- and the duo fall for his dastardly trick as he takes off running. Mickyl manages to launch herself after him and catch the man, but in the melee, Burble breaks the strange device he had. Dette is congratulated for her game by the mayor of Ottawa and insists on a meeting with him the following day.
Meeting up in the parking lot, the freehold crew get ready to bring the Piskey back to Yan's for questioning....
