Medea abruptly awakens him and informs him Lilith has a task for them. Upon hearing this news, he hastily gets ready and meets the both of them downstairs. Lilith tells them to find a girl named Iris and to take a picture of her. She would be in France, attending a funeral for her dead grandmother. The pair agree and Medea spends the next hour or two researching and finding Iris's info, while Rod sat on her office floor.

Medea strikes up an argument with Odette, calling her several names before Odette assumed she was one of her cousins and lets her into the funeral. Odette and her husband, Justin, get into an argument, which Medea uses to exit the conversation per Rod's requests to find Iris. They exit to the back of church where nobody's present and Rod is let out of Medea's bag for fresh air.

Iris sees them before Rod or Medea notice, and by the time they do Iris has already seen Rod. Medea urges Rod to return to her bag, and Iris approaches them, questioning Medea's role in her family. She says she's Odette's cousin, to which Iris questions why she was hanging around with a puppet. Medea states that he was her short co-worker that had a rare skin disease, and that he had jumped into her bag out of social anxiety.

Iris tells Medea to let him out of the bag, and gives Rod a captcha test to take, as most puppets cannot pass, which he surprisingly passes . They head back to the studio, and Medea admits their job was not just to take photos, but to ruin Iris' life. Rod, without much of a choice, agrees with continue the mission.

At the end of the night, Iris has gone on such a rampage that her friends get told to go home. Rod has fall asleep by this point, when Medea goes to get her bag, she assumes Rod is in there and doesn't notice him fast asleep. She teleports home, leaving him behind.
