## **Plot**

### **Alex and Penny's Apartment:**

   The scene starts with Felicia and Vulpini comforting Alex after Penny's abduction. Felcia asks Alex if the abductor took anything else, and he tells her that he hasn't been able to find Penny's Golden Cube and that he also found a note on the ground, but that he doesn't understand its demands. Vulpini asks to see the note and reads it aloud. It says:

*"If you want Miss Penny Talpa back, find me the Alces Divus."*

Felicia recognizes the name from her Uncle James' folder and that the Alces Family is one of the richest in the world. Alex agrees with her, but says that he still doesn't understand what a "Divus" is. This leads to Vulpini explaining about her powers, which Alex already knew existed, but not what their significance was. She then tells him that there are more families like theirs, families who all have members with powers. Alex asks how many families there are and Felicia tells him that there are six. When asked by her older siblings why she thinks his, Felicia becomes convinced that James is the one who took Penny and begins to ramble under her breath.

Vulpini is shocked, and asks Felicia why she thinks that James is responsible. Felicia tells Vulpini about the folder she found and how James is looking for all six Divuses, but before she can get too far, Alex becomes enraged and tells her to stop talking about the folder. He's upset that Penny is gone and he thinks that Felicia is wasting time making up stories about their uncle. Vulpini tries to calm him down and tells Felicia that she's siding with Alex on this subject.

Vulpini tells them both that James offered to help find Penny, and that when Vulpini manifested her powers, he was there to help her control them. Felicia still has a feeling that James is the culprit, and tells her siblings that she's going to prove it before storming out.

Vulpini tries to stop her from going, but is unsuccessful. Instead she chastises Alex for yelling at their younger sister since she was only trying to help. Alex tells her that he doesn't have time for Felicia to make more trouble and that he has to focus on how to get the Alces Family to give up the location of their Divus family member. This statement leads Vulpini to realize that in order to find someone with powers, you need someone who also has powers. She tells Alex that she and Kaiyo are going to go visit the Alces Family and that she will call him when she knows more.

   After Vulpini leaves, Alex hears foot steps and assumes that it is his older sister coming back to get something she forgot, only to be surprised when he sees Harris Talpa. Harris is overcome with anger and grief at his daughter's kidnapping. He grabs Alex by the front of his shirt and insults Alex over him not telling them about Penny's kidnapping himself. Alex apologizes, clearly still broken himself. Harris continues his barrage of insults, telling Alex that from the moment he saw him, that he knew he would be no good for Penny.

Henk intervenes, trying to pull his husband off of Alex and to calm him down. Before leaving, Harris tells Alex, that if they ever find Penny, he will make sure that Alex never sees her again. Henk tries to comfort Alex, telling him that they both are very concerned about Penny. He asks that if Alex finds out any more information about Penny's disappearance, to let them know. Henk tells Alex to take care of himself, before exiting the apartment. Alex sits on his couch, holding the Fox family heirloom that he had given Penny, and begins to cry.

### **Felicia asks Pyrus for Help:**

The scene shifts and we see Pyrus modeling with Jolene Lapin. They talk a little bit after the shoot, but Jolene seems more interested than Pyrus than he does in her. She asks Pyrus to get a drink with her, so that they can hang out like they used to, but Pyrus turns her down. Jolene tells him that it's his loss and turns to leave the studio, on her way out she see Felicia who is waiting to see Pyrus. She says hello, and Felicia recognizes her as a famous model.

Jolene seems amused, and asks Felicia if she's one of Pyrus' "girlfriends". Felicia is shocked, and tells her that she's just there to ask Pyrus something. Jolene isn't convinced and tells her to not get her heart broken, before leaving.

Pyrus notices Felicia and asks her what she's doing at the studio, she gets momentarily distracted by his abs, before telling him she couldn't find him at the Talpa's law firm. They talk a bit about Pyrus' modeling career before he tells her that the Talpas aren't taking any new cases until Penny is found. He then asks her if she's heard any news on Penny because he's worried about her. She tells him that's why she came looking for him, and that she needs his help. He readily agrees to help her, and asks her if she wants to get a drink to discuss it.

Instead of answering his request to get a drink, Felicia blurts out that she thinks her Uncle James is the kidnapper, and that she needs his help to prove it to her family. Pyrus is stunned by that bombshell and says he doesn't really follow what she's saying.

Felicia pulls out the folder she stole from her uncle, and ask him if he recognizes the person under "V. Felis". Pyrus tells her in a stunned voice that the person in the folder is his missing sister, Violet. The scene ends on this cliffhanger.
