Persephone is discombobulated by the fall, but determined to read Hades her letter, admitting her love. He acts very out of character, basically ignoring her feelings and demanding they get married today. He shoves a too-small ring on her finger, shows her a garish, grey statue he had made, and insists she doesn’t need any family or friends. She only needs him. Persephone wises up that something is very wrong and excuses herself to the bathroom to hatch a plan.

“That is not my Hades.”

Persephone

She determines her goal - get Kronos to leave Hades’ body. First, she needs to distract him. She returns and sweet talks him, leading him outside to play their “favorite” game - hide and seek. She hastily constructs a hedge maze to trap and confuse him instead. Seeing the maze from higher in the building, Morpheus and Zeus rush to find her. Persephone instructs Zeus to watch Kronos-Hades and keep him distracted while she asks Morpheus to help guide her in the dreamworld. Morpheus warns an interloper may try to distract her, but Persephone is determined to find Hades and wake him.

She awakens somewhere new, wearing a stunning gown and halo-like headdress.
