Tori is leaving his house, and bids goodbye to his roommate, Alex. He wants to ask Alex if he is responsible for the article of Hades and Persephone, but he hates confrontation, and so he says nothing. Tori heads to Persephone’s house and knocks on her door, and she greets him happily, asking if he’s ready to study.

In the Underworld, Hecate is with Hades in the car. She begins to discuss his personal relationship with Minthe and Hades finds out Minthe posted it publicly on Fatesbook for everyone to see. The photo Minthe uses has herself in focus, with Hades, Thetis, and Thanatos out of focus and looking awkward. Hades opens up and mentions that he’s confused, he thought she would be happy with his decision as she wanted him away from Persephone.

Hecate clarifies that she was more upset that he could be taking advantage of her young friend for sex. But she knows now that that was not the case. She points out his pink pocket square as a sign that Hades clearly has feelings for Persephone. Hecate, as the Goddess of Crossroads, isn’t the type to interfere, but she does point out that Hades should take his time and get to know Persephone. She hands him a letter from Persephone and reminds him it’s ok to take a breath. This could be inferred as her gentle way of saying she respects his choices, but thinks he jumped into a relationship that he probably should not be in given his confused emotions.

“Salutations, I’m Hecate. My client and I would like to speak with you in regards to your crimes against the Underworld.”

Hecate

Alex has been sitting there, tied to a chair with a hood over his head, the entire time while they were talking. And while he’s trying to sound annoyed, he’s clearly afraid of Hades. Hades begins his judgment of the satyr Alex, increasingly showing his god form as he lists his crimes against Persephone and the Underworld.

Hecate is gleefully watching as Hades’ legal counsel and notes each specific crime as Hades explains what Alex did wrong. The final judgment is “an eye for an eye” as the final panel focuses on Hades holding Alex’s eye open.
