In the flashback, Hades meets Hecate, who explains to him that what they took wasn’t something material. Hades tells Persephone that he can’t leave the Underworld for long periods and that he can’t have any offspring. After leaving Tartarus, Persephone asks Hades questions about the pomegranate and being Queen of the Underworld.

Eros and Ampelus grow closer. Artemis reflects on her relationship with her brother, and becomes even more irritated at how everyone keeps secrets around her.
