In a totally unexpected move, we get to meet two people in person that we didn't think we'd meet yet.  

We discuss the character of the Phantom Scythe and the leader, analyzing his change from idealist to twisted dictator, comparing him to Darth Vader.  

The scene switches to a perfectly coiffed elegant person sitting in an equally elegant office. Clues indicate that this is Viscount Redcliffe. Bella walks through a hidden trapdoor and a conversation ensues that has us loathing the fashionable and menacing Apostle VII and sympathizing for Bella. We discuss the difference between physical abuse and mental abuse, and how Bella has been isolated and psychologically manipulated.  

In our final scene, our red hooded Kieran walks into the crumbling Greychapel church, where he is assaulted by Messenger IV and their minions. Kieran defends himself valiantly but is shortly overpowered. While his body takes a beating, he never lets them take his personality. We end this episode grieving for our baby Kieran!
