## Plot

This episode starts with Lumi looking at the frozen castle, when they've approached by the man with pink hair. Whomever he is, he seems to know some information about Lumi, and insists they sit down. However, Lumi doesn't like his games and asks that she answer her questions. This is also because her memories of being Hailstorm start to return to her. The man answers her first question, who am I? And he answers, Solarflare.

Back at the Highland Elf Territory, the group continues their escape. Sierra and Elazar bicker about the purpose of the Death Bag, leading to each other wanting to kill the other. However, Avia and Manny, redirect their attention to finding the GftS Main Character/Teddy, who is not around. The MC collapses after running for so long, wondering what happened to Blizzard. The group catches up, and after a moment of pondering over Blizzard and the MC's well-being, they continue to escape the territory. Kasumi watches from afar, and follows them.

Lumi makes fun of Solarflare's name, wondering the meaning behind it. He's playful, claiming that he's blind and wears the glasses because they look cool. More memories return, including Elazar failing to become Hailstorm's servant and of the MC claiming to be Gaylene and Zion's daughter/son. Solarflame expresses how Lumi was special, because she was the first to dip into the toxic magic left behind by the gods- and the first to return to Lumi. However, he doesn't know how it happened. Through a flashback, Solarflare explains that after Elazar stabbed Hailstorm, she wondered back to the castle, where she froze her servants and then herself. Solarflare then asks Lumi to explain how she became Hailstorm. She starts of by stating that her sister, Kira, was still zombified and she decided to go to The Castle of Spring, where her mother Atiya was a servant to Queen Ayra and Prince Sorret. Ayra tries to set up Lumi with Sorret. Realizing that Lumi hasn't eaten in a few months, he offers to get some food. Lumi asks how will he find things, and he states not to worry about it.

The gang is in the woods, where Sierra demands to know why Elazar is still on the team. Elazar wants to kill Manny and Sierra now, because they stopped him from saving everything. The MC believes that Sierra may have misinterpreted the situation, leaving Sierra mad. The group starts to question about Blizzard again, when Kasumi shows up and confirms that Blizzard turned back to Esperanza. Elazar once again claims that they cannot trust Kasumi, and based on his suggestion, the group asks Kasumi why she was in jail. She tells them that she killed Nevio, the God of Humans, who was killed thousands of years before BttB Main Character/Polaris was created. Kasumi is willing to tell them more, but the elves are coming. Despite Kasumi willing to fight the elves for them, Elazar still doesn't trust her. Kasumi gives them time to escape as she fights Akira (Fan Made), Kers (Fan Made), and Tairna (Fan Made) who fear her power.

Back at the castle, Solarflare is distracted by something out on the patio. He states that exciting things are going on, but Lumi sarcastically asks if it's watching snow melt, and he laughs it off. Solarflare decides to start to step things up a notch, reminding her of how she became Hailstorm. Lumi demands Solarflare stop, but he continues and the flashbacks continue. Lumi asks Atiya, having become close, if she's willing to run away with her and explore the world. Atiya excepts. They plan to run away during the ball that night, where Prince Sorret plans on proposing to Lumi.

The group gets to a safe location where they're able to catch their breath. The group believes Kasumi was overwhelmed, when she was actually picking up sandwiches for them (and herself). The group asks about Blizzard again, and the MC admits not remembering too much. Kasumi offers to take the MC on a meditation, to hopefully recover her memories. After the two of them leave, Elazar admits to Avia that he really doesn't trust Kasumi because she changed her mind too fast. Avia agrees, but also challenges him to think about who she is working for. That idea worries Elazar too, as there aren't very many people who are over one thousand years old. Before Kasumi and the MC meditate, the MC feels awkward with Kasumi. However, the meditation goes fast when Kasumi uses magic to help the MC slow down their memories. They replay the events in GftS Episode Twenty-Four from the darkness, with an additional scene of the MC freeing Esperanza from the cage. Once the MC wakes up, they find Kasumi exhausted. Kasumi makes a comment that the toxic magic is somewhere, just not with Esperanza/Blizzard anymore and the Demi-Gods will come for the MC's life. Kasumi also tells the MC that they don't trust their team and hope they won't be their downfall.

Lumi begs Solarflare to stop, but they don't. They bring Lumi back into the flashback, where the dance has started. Sorret tells Lumi that his mom is running late because they had to execute a servant. Lumi realizes it's her mom, and freezes. That's when she hears the voice, telling her that she can make everyone pay and she accepts. Lumi threatens everyone to run, but the audience awkwardly laughs it off. Lumi then kills Queen Ayra, and starts to manically laugh. Solarflare narrates that the castle turned to ice, and Lumi became Hailstorm. Back in the present, Hailstorm stands up and tells him to screw off. Solarflare teases her, to which she tells him again. Solarflare then tells her that he has news for her, the location of Slaine. She accepts, and then asks where he is going. Solarflare tells Hailstorm that he plans to meet the GftS Main Character/Teddy.
