## Summary

Bjorn says that before they formulate a plan on how to deal with the Hydra, he needs to talk with H.U.N.T.E.R. Bjorn goes back to the bathroom to call them. Bjorn fills in Agent Indigo on what's happened on the island and the hydra. He then admits that he's been omitting certain information from his reports - that he's a magical creature known as a Dragon Knight. Bjorn gives Indigo a brief history on Dragon Knights and witches and informs him of the army of witches on the island as well. Agent Indigo agrees to send reinforcements and help with removing all the videos from the internet but chews him out about omitting information and tells him he'll need to make a trip to his office to explain everything.

Bjorn comes back into the room to tell them H.U.N.T.E.R. is sending reinforcements and Sammie switches topics to how they defeat the hydra. No one seems to know of any particular weaknesses or has any experience fighting one before. Oliver starts to pull some books off his shelf and pass them around for the group to do some research.

Henry starts pouring through the books and finds the way to kill the creature is to cut off its head and seal the stump with fire, just like in the Greek myth. He also finds that this type of hydra not only has an acid spray attack, but its blood is also acidic. Bjorn finds an old myth about how the hydra wants to grab someone with two of its heads and rip it apart. Sammie isn't able to find any relevant information.

The crew discusses how to cut off the head of the hydra. They're not sure how to stay away from its mouth and acid spray while also cutting through its scales to decapitate it. Henry makes one last effort to find more detailed information on how to hurt the hydra. He puts a post on his online community asking how to remove the hydra's head. MonsterHunter69 pops onto the forum and answers that he'll need something that can blow apart the hydra's armor, something explosive. He also warns that a hydra is incredibly strong and to be careful. Bjorn calls H.U.N.T.E.R. again to tell them to bring explosives.

Sammie decides to take some time to check in on Helena again. She uses magic to connect with her. She sees Helena somewhere near the docks and asks if she can hear her. They're both surprised to learn that the other is alive. Sammie quickly asks if Helena knows anything about the hydra or how to hurt it. While Sammie is talking with her mom, she suddenly notices someone is watching Helena - a man dressed in a dark outfit. He seems to be reaching behind him for something. Sammie lets Helena know there is someone behind her, watching. She looks around, spots the man, and then starts walking away. She tells Sammie there are at least 3 people watching her. Sammie asks where she is exactly. Sammie tells her mom she will be right there to help, snaps back to herself, and then bolts out of Oliver's apartment.
