 A
 1. The group gets together and discusses the information they discovered at Grazie.
2. Carver also shares information on various supernatural stories he had researched in the area around Ivy’s farm.
3. Ivy admits that the cow carcasses had been discovered and were being investigated by Fish and Wildlife.
4. Ivy makes Carver call Nico as payback for feeling the others left her out on a ledge by herself at Elysium.
5. Nico answers, and initially attempts to strong  arm Nico into meeting at a place of Carver’s choosing.
6. Nico quite plainly points out that he’s the one who offered to help them and that he is holding all the cards in this scenario, after which Carver begrudgingly agrees for the group to meet up at Ace of Spades.
 B
 1. Riddler is playing the piano on stage,  and  aside from Kindred, the only other person on site is Fiona, who greets them at the door.
2. The establishment is otherwise closed for the evening.
3. Dante is initially listening to Riddler’s playing, but then moves to join Eva, talking some ways away from the group.
4. Shiloh and the coterie settle at a table with Nico and Raegan.
5. Nico initially asks Shiloh what she remembers, but somehow Shiloh manages to bluff the other Kindred into thinking she knows exactly what she needs to and is only there to satisfy the curiosity of her companions and determine what Nico thinks he knows.
6. They learn that Gian Vera is Nico’s grandfather, and that Nico’s sister, Elenora misses Shiloh dearly.
7. The information doesn’t phase Shiloh, nor does it trigger her memory.
8. Raegan explains that the Giovanni are treacherous but reputation minded. She says they will seek to uncover whatever information they can regarding Shiloh and the others before making a move; they’ll want to exercise damage control where they think it’s needed due to Shiloh’s abrupt appearance, then they will put into play whatever plan meets their end goals.
9. It is openly stated that the coterie need to be careful because they will all be targets.
10. Eventually Dante directly joins the conversation, adding in his agreement with what Nico and Raegan have said.
11. Dante then explains that Shiloh matters to the Giovanni because she is the only childe of the former primogen/patriarch, Arturo Salviatti, whom the current Matriarch, Madeleine, killed when she took over.
12. Before he leaves, Carver asks Dante about “the garden girl,” which leads Dante to suggest various meanings; maybe it refers to someone who just likes gardens, or someone who is found among nature like Gangrels tend to be. Dante tangentially mentions that he’s heard of a blood line of Gangrel who are more in tune with plants than animals but hasn’t heard of any in NOLA.
13. Dante also mentions that there was some Kindred named Eden who caused some sort of incident over something like a garden some years back too.
14. Carver then asks for more information about Gangrel, so Dante gives the general details about them and mentions that there are also plenty of them outside the city in the bayou or nature reserves.
15. Dante and Nico also warn the group against going carelessly into the bayou because of a Kindred cult based there; it’s run by a Nosferatu sorceress named Arciss.
16. Gianna, having witnessed Ezra’s eyes glowing red when she fought him at The Ring asks if he is a Gangrel, and Dante confirms he is.
17. Ivy thereby discovers her presumed clan.
18. After the group leaves, Shiloh breaks down in the car from the stress holding such a masterly poker face in the midst of all they had learned about the Giovanni.
