## Story

In "The Cost", Ambition is in the real world, pretending to be Tom and living his life. Junior has concerns about how much time "Tom" is spending on work and how little time he spends doing anything else. The two confront each other. Junior is able to figure out that "Tom" is not who he says he is, but Ambition is determined to not let anything stand in the way of his goals.

In "The Prince", Chomas wakes up on the Beach to find Tohm, who is still mourning the loss of Linda. Chomas looks for a possible escape from the Beach, but instead finds Gus. Gus tells Chomas about what he's learned since dying and ending up on the Beach, and suggests that Love and Fear might be able to work together. However, after going back, Chomas verbally wears down Tohm until he breaks and has an outburst. The two remain stuck on the Beach for some time, until Captain Finn Oakley appears on the Beach, with the help of Blood Demon.

In "The Void", Tom and Lommy are stuck in the Void. Tom reveals that he allowed Ambition to take control, and was not forced or tricked into giving it up. Lommy reveals some of the history of the Crawlspace, and explains how Tom repressed him because sadness was seen as undesirable. Near the end, Tom, who was emotionally numb for most of the episode, breaks down and feels sadness again for the first time in a long time.

In "The Others", Breck finds himself being held by the Bills Mafia. Frederick talks to him, and is able to "Wake Up" Breck to the fact that reality is not what it seems to be. Frederick, Mack, and other Mafia members insist that because their lives are a lie, nothing truly matters. Breck accepts their invitation to join the Mafia. Elsewhere, Louis tracks down Wildflower and demands to know where Chomas is.
