## Summary

The battle with The All-Mother continues. The crew continue to fight the giant mass of corpses, sustaining greater and greater damage. When it seems things can't possibly get any worse, another giant mass of corpses breaks in through the door. With William being trapped under the original mass of corpses, it becomes evident that they must end the battle as quickly as possible. Verona tries one last time to knock The All-Mother unconscious, but when that fails, he concludes that the only way to make it out of this fight alive is to kill her. Verona uses a special bullet which he has kept hidden up until this point, The Seeking Bullet, which tracks the target so long as he has seen them before. The bullet would twist its path in order to hit the target. With The All-Mother dead, all the corpses stop and the battle concludes. Verona does a short interrogation of V Jr., after which Verona kills him. As the crew loot the place they discover there is one survivor, and decide to let him live. Instead of looting, Duros buries the bodies of The All-Mother and Penny. With Trevor's help they realize that there is still one unknown fourth brother alive.

When the morning comes, Trevor wakes William up so they can have their battle, to see if William would become a War Lord or if Trevor would get his sword back. William decides that instead of battling, they would try to cause each other to drop their weapon, during this William blows up his own hand causing Trevor to win. After their fight, Trevor says next time he sees them, he will arrest them and bring them to justice. Trevor then walks off letting William keep his sword.

The crew decide to use the Talky-Walkies to call Hemlock, learning that Boss wants to meet them at the Oasis. They also learn that someone named, Dane Goodman, is there and would like to strike a deal with them. Ending their conversation with Hemlock, the crew decides to make their way back to the Oasis to retrieve their ship and see what is going on.
