==Episode Summary==
* The episode opens with a gigantic opalescent blue serpent appearing amidst plant growth and butterflies. Everyone notices that their appearances seem to be shifting between their own and another person's, the same people they saw as their reflections earlier. The serpent congratulates them and identifies herself as Jazirian, the creator of all life. She tells them they were brought here as a test, both of their virtue and their strength. They are to rise above the common man, either to protect or to harm. Their fates are tied to counterparts in Irulan, and that they are now all in the same place at the same time. Each person's counterpart has had the same experiences to the extent that they're the same person. The gems the party have enable them to permanently switch places with their counterparts if they smash them. She also says that if they die, their counterpart will die as well. There is another person like this who did not die when their counterpart did, and they are caught up in some evil. Jazirian tells Cyrus that only he can save Boone, and only she him. She also offers this place to them as a home - all the traps are gone now. She offers Kallas his old form back. He hesitates, looking at his wings, but then accepts. Cyrus asks Jazirian to help him with his demon problem, and she says she can't, but that he is being protected by Bahamut. The evil inside him is her counterpart formerly known as Ahriman. Boone asks who killed her, and Jazirian refuses to answer, but tells her to trust and help Cyrus.
* The party returns to the tree area, where the pool has turned into a hot spring, with a dial to change the temperature. Cam immediately undresses and gets in. Tadao is there, freed from the mirror and perfectly friendly. Dagna finds a non-sentient tree and says a prayer for Cordata, then joins Cam and the rest of the party in the hot spring. Cam takes a nap under a tree. Cyrus paints, and no spirit attempts to influence him. Boone has a drink in front of the fire, thinking about what to do next and who killed her - she mainly suspects her family. Kallas goes to the study to research souls. It seems that it will provide any book you request. He reads "Death and the Mortal Soul" and permanently increases his intelligence score by 4, and when he's finished, it dissolves.
* Dagna writes to her family, and when she asks Tadao to send her correspondence, he returns with a letter from her father and something for Kallas. The letter from Dagna's father says that he's amassed a barbarian army that's larger than the O'Leeroys ever were, thanks to Corvino. It also says he's thinking of attacking Jildos, since the head of House Macwell and his wife have disappeared. Kallas' note is from Tinker Gildrop, saying he needs Kallas' help at the edge of the Rainbow Wastes. Cyrus makes contact with Bahamut via painting, and paints a sleeping platinum dragon, with Naluri below him.
