Lotus ran into the ER, pulled the curtain back and saw that Sami was in restraints… and turned to Amanda and Finn.
"I should've known you had something to do with this." Lotus responded with a small smile as yelling was heard and they saw Yukie on Vampiro's right shoulder before he put her on the ground.
"I swear I'll kill all of you in your sleep! Starting with the mystic!" Yukie retorted.
"You're more than welcome to try but I've lived a long time." Lotus responded before Yukie saw Sami.
"Why is Callihan tied to the gurney?" Yukie asked.
"We're sure that the gauntlet sent him mental. It's burned, which is a good thing but… the ancient god trapped in it resisted death and escaped." Katherine explained.
"A mass of energy that pretty much blew me off, that was the so called ancient god?!" Yukie replied.
"If it blew you off, it doesn't see you as strong enough to possess." Rey explained.
"Rey's right, Yukie. It's looking for something or someone that matches the gauntlet." Vampiro responded.
"It's looking for Cage." Amanda replied once the realisation set in.
"Why him? He went mental the last time." Hiroki responded.
"Cage killed someone so the Aztec god that was in the gauntlet wasn't as repressed as it once was. Callihan and Mike didn't kill so the god got angrier as time went by." Vampiro explained.
"Mandy, why the hell did you destroy the gauntlet?!" Yukie demanded.
"To keep you from finding it and being foolish enough to put it on your arm! To keep you from losing yourself and hurting and killing innocent people! If you can't see that despite everything that I still care about you and don't want to lose you, than that's on you!" Amanda responded angrily.
"Mandy-" Rey started to respond.
"No, Rey, I need to say this! I'm sick of how she treats me because she's so convinced that I wronged her by leaving 12 years ago!" Amanda replied before she turned to Yukie. "I'm sick of all the mean spirited jokes, passive aggressive behavior, constantly holding grudges over me and how you believe that every stupid thing you've ever done is somehow my fault but I don't want to lose the real Yukie, the one buried under all this hatred! You always call me a liar and say that I hold things back and don't open up, try taking a look in the damn mirror, Yukie Akari Yoshihiro!" She responded before she stormed off, Finn following after her and Rey and the others looking at Yukie.
"She's right, you know. Sometimes all it takes is a little tough love to bring back an old friend." Rey replied.
"I've been burying it for far too long, blaming her… she was just looking for a way to escape all the hell Hiro put us all through." Yukie responded before seeing that Sami was awake. "You okay there, Callihan?" She asked.
"Why was Tiny yelling?" Sami asked.
"Too much stress put on her." Rey replied.
"Yeah, by this invisible ghost thing." Yukie responded.
"No, you don't understand… it's real. I took it off just to breathe and gave it to someone." Sami replied.
"6'1, short brown hair, blue eyes?" Yukie asked.
"Yeah. Did it overwhelm him too?" Sami responded, Hiroki nodding.
"Mostly caused hell. If I was going to say hell causer, this one right here is the real hellraiser." Hiroki replied, pointing to Yukie, before she bit his finger.
"Why am I a hellraiser?!" Yukie asked as Katherine helped Hiroki rinse his finger and clean the wound.
"You don't see what you did to Mandy?!" Hiroki responded.
"Oh… I understand perfectly. If you want the real Yukie, the real one died a long time ago. You'll just have to deal with it." Yukie explained.
Yukie stormed off and Hiroki turned to the others.
"Deeply troubled, that one." Rey responded.
"Yes she is… I just hope that what Mandy said got through to her." Hiroki replied.
Outside in the parking lot, Finn was lightly rubbing Amanda's back as she took deep breaths.
"Why the hell did I just say all of that?" Amanda questioned, her voice rough.
"You were being honest to her. I know she's not the one you known, but that's still her." Finn responded.
"I just hope it sunk in somewhere." Amanda replied, rubbing her sternum as her upper body was sore from the loudness and Finn held her close to him.
"Maybe it did, Love. You're stressing out at the moment, you need to calm down." Finn responded.
Amanda nodded as Finn pulled her onto his lap and the two held each other, her head on his right shoulder as he lightly rubbed her back… watching them, Lotus nodded before turning to Hiroki.
"You were right… both do stress out too much." Lotus responded.
"I just hope she hasn't derailed her neurological health." Hiroki replied quietly, Lotus turning to him.
"She's young and she seems so healthy… what happened?" Lotus asked.
"That bitch doesn't even look young and healthy! I heard that from all the way over here!" Yukie retorted.
"Mandy had seizures three years ago. Completely out of the blue." Hiroki explained to Lotus, who turned horrified.
"Seizures are scary, even scarier when you don't know a clear cause of them." Lotus responded.
"Still doesn't scare me none! That bitch needs to go away from here!" Yukie retorted out of anger, as she held a half empty RedBull can.
At Katherine's place, Finn, Amanda, Katherine, Lotus, Vampiro, Rey, Sami and Hiroki all looked at each other.
"If it is looking for Cage, it better do so before Agent Winter finds it or finds Dario." Sami replied.
"Corrupt federal agent?" Hiroki asked, Katherine nodding as Amanda was on her left side.
Her head was resting on Finn's lap as he had his right arm around her… and Hiroki saw how worn out she was, physically and emotionally.
'I'm very worried about both you and Yukie. I just hope the real Yukie can come out of her shell soon.' Hiroki thought to himself.
Rey picked up his IPhone 8 plus and saw a text from Dean.
'Is Mandy where you are?'
'She and Finn are along with several others. Mandy's worn down from everything that's happened, she's resting now.' Rey replied before he saw Finn kiss Amanda's right shoulder.
'Okay, he better be keeping a good eye on her. Or else.'
"Dean has trust issues…" Rey replied, Finn nodding.
When Seth found Dean, he sat down and Dean saw bruises and scrapes on him.
"Yukie shoved you down?" Dean asked.
"She was doing more than that." Seth responded.
"Hopefully whatever Mandy said got through to her." Dean replied.
"All that pent up stress finally exploded?" Seth questioned.
"That's what Rey told me." Dean responded.
"Yukie is still going though her emotional rampage, she had enough of Mandy and Finn saying 'Fuck their asses, go back to the made up land that they came from! And so as this fake job!'." Seth explained.
"You ever think Mandy's too trusting of old friends?" Dean asked.
"I've been trying to tell her that, but she's too trusting. She thinks that this is the same Yukie, but no. That Yukie died a long time ago." Seth answered.
"With Rey, it's the opposite. They've never crossed each other, he still sees her as family." Dean responded.
"Rey watched her grow up… in every way that counts, she's his little girl." Roman replied as he sat down. "You guys noticed that that creepy thing Mike had on his arm is gone?" He asked.
"Gone? What happened to it?" Seth asked.
"Someone said they saw Mandy burning it and heard it screaming. Yes, Seth, it was alive in a manner of speaking." Roman explained as Seth was frightened.
"What?! How is that possible?" Seth asked.
"Something evil possessed it." Roman answered.
"Evil?!" Dean responded.
"Whatever it is is either dead, dying or searching for its next host." Roman replied.
Back at Katherine's house, Amanda opened her eyes and found herself in Finn's arms as he was taking her into a guest room.
"Rested well, Darlin'?" Finn asked.
"I must've… I fell asleep on the couch." Amanda responded as Finn put her on the king sized bed and stretched out next to her, the two holding each other.
"You did, but I brought you up here, Love. Katherine said that the beds are comfier." Finn responded.
The two kissed and Amanda looked around, seeing the way it was designed.
"Dario did a hell of a job…" Amanda responded.
"He has his vices but in a way, he does care about her." Finn replied.
"He wants to keep her safe despite her not returning his affections." Amanda responded before they kissed.
