==Plot==
Zora, Percy and Ramsey fight for who will get the Arsene Amulet and Ramsey, much to his dismay. If Zora wins, she gets to keep the amulet and she’ll have full right to turn Ramsey in for a profit. If Percy wins, she’ll finally reach her goal of getting the Arsene Amulet and she’ll get to keep Ramsey.
The rules of the battle are simple; No epithet usage at all, if you do use your epithet then that means you automatically lose. To abide by this rule, Percy cuffs her and Ramsey together to not only obey the rules, but to show some inscribed-mundie solidarity towards Ramsey.
Zora starts their battle by telling them (Percy and Ramsey) that she conveniently left some bullets suspended in the air. This is a feature of her epithet so she stops using the ability and, because they are bullets, they go flying everywhere.
Percy dodges most of the bullets, hitting them with her signature sword and using Ramsey as a shield of sorts. Ramsey on the other hand, doesn’t dodge them because he is currently being used as a wall.
After awhile of fighting, Ramsey manages to get ahold of one of Zora’s guns and bangs the handle against a rock. Zora yells at him to not do it again, unfortunately, she’s talking to Ramsey. He hits her gun against the rock two more times before it shatters.
Zora pins Ramsey down to the ground and reveals a second gun, which makes Ramsey confused as to why she was so angry at him destroying one of her guns if she already had another one, he also says that she could just rewind her gun back to life. Which makes her more angry.
Zora angrily explains that she can’t reverse things if the cycle has already ended.
She then imbues her epithet “Sundial” into Percy’s sword that she had dropped during the battle, which makes her a hundred times more dangerous because (As stated before) if Zora imbues her epithet into an object/weapon, she can one-shot someone with ease.
Like she does immediately to a rock, Ramsey and Percy then runs away, remembering that he wrote his epithet down, he finds the note he wrote earlier and reads it, before Zora destroys it. Ramsey asks why she just can't unbreak her gun, so Zora explains that she can't undo a process once it's finished, while she chances them through the forest. Ramsey asks for Percy to unlock the cuffs, Percy disagrees due to that would be enough time for Zora to catch up. Ramsey explains his plan and that they'll be dead anyway, so trust him. She then unlocks her cuffs while Zora runs off and cuts off Zora's arm. 
Zora taunts him before his body and arm begins to age before they both turn in solid gold. Percy begins to cry before realizing Ramsey is alright. He reattaches the arm to his body before trapping Zora by hugging her as he explained that gold doesn't corrode and makes a great conductor. Percy summons multiple wizard towers to shock her.
He then goes to find Percy, barely Conscious, giving her a pine cone, before asking if it works. Zora then tells them she was holding back, but since she lost because she broke the rules, she decide it was draw, Percy keeps Ramsey, and she gets the necklace. Telling Ramsey to watch himself. 
Car Crash and Giovanni hide while the other Banzai Blasters are being carried into Police Cars. Car Crash asks when they can go home, Giovanni teells him to be quiewt because someone could hear him before the two hide because Giovanni heard someone. 
Percy and Ramsey walk by, she explains that Howie and Bugsly have reverted by to their original ages. she is also sad that they couldn't retrieve the amulet. Ramsey explained that he swapped them, giving Zora a fake, meanwhile Zora realizes and screams. Ramsey says he is a master of forging valuables, prompting Percy to arrest him. Ramsey explains taht he is the good guy since he helped get the amulet back, Percy counters with how he has done many more crimes in the past, including the case of golden buttocks. And trading 'gold' for stocks or bonds that is actully dirt... or worse. After more of Ramsey complaining, she explains that if she helps the law with his appraisal skills, they can get him a comfortable cell. He agrees
Zora returns to have a meeting with Bliss Ocean, specifically, Yoomtah Zing, a Cloaked Member, and the leader.
Molly, Trixie Roughhouse and Phoenica Fleecity find a what appears to be a dead man on a beach. Molly ask if he is dead, so Trixie gets Molly to poke him with a stick. Once poked he springs back to life, the girls' scream, causing him to scream as well.
==Trivia==
*The To be continued... sign at the end of the episode glitches into the words, Bliss Ocean, Condoriano, To be continued... (again), Great at Crime, and finally the Bliss Ocean logo.
*According to Brendan Blaber, "Percy was cuffing them together in an act of Mundie-Inscribed solidarity. This was her way of putting Ramsey’s “don’t underestimate mundies” creedo into action. To her, Percy is taking a heroic stand. To Ramsey, she’s dooming them both. I think this is hilarious".https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189905180787/i-loved-episode-7-so-much-but-i-have-one
*Zora embuing Percy’s sword is only temporary in this episode, because Brendan (Jello) states that she hasn’t mastered the skills of embuing yet.https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189903414832/so-does-percys-sword-retain-the-embuing-from-zora
