Charly takes some convincing, but they get Bean loaded into the takvee and Spaz’s family retreats to their rooms. Just then, the Vandals surround the takvee, with Lotti fresh off her victory over the Furies and her nemesis, Vida Bleek. Lotti asks why Spaz and his group are still here in her latch, and they explain that they’re trying to save Bean’s life and want nothing from her but free passage out of the latch. She gives them permission but tells Spaz he’s responsible for informing Billy Bizmo about her win. Before they leave, she holds up a bag with a human skull inside that is presumably Bleek’s head.

Just before Spaz was initially kicked out of his house, Bean found a plate in the color blue, a rare color to see. She and Spaz treasured it together, but Charly smashed it, saying it was nothing, just like Spaz. Coming up on the Barrier, Spaz sees the color blue; Ryter has heard of this phenomenon but never seen it. The Barrier is made up of a layer of charged air separating the Urb from Eden.
