This episode explores the secret pasts of the Kelvarus siblings through two defining flashbacks. In the Violet District, Selene reveals a hidden desire to be as unburdened as a legendary "Sable" during a private meeting with the artist Kaelle (KAY-elle). Simultaneously, the origins of Dorian’s bond with the Red leader, Ross, are unmasked during a high-stakes game at the Pulse Lounge, where a fateful wager binds them to the impending "Fool's Gambit".
