The girls were still getting Sarah away from the explosion at the pawn shop, when all of a sudden it started to rain. Sarah decides to get out her skateboard to go faster.
Sarah: Do you think maybe the guys will be alright?
Cassidy: If I know them very well and I do, they can take care of themselves so don't worry about them.
Lexi: Be careful on that board it might be slippery.
Sarah: I try.
Sarah goes ahead of the girls while they try to jog along since their jetpacks would not work in the rain and they need to stay with Sarah. This would not last long however as Sarah accidentally curves off the sidewalk and onto the road with a truck headed her way.
Cassidy: Sarah…Watch Out!
Sarah Stops and looks at the truck. It was coming to fast for her to get away, when suddenly she sees a crow flying over head and is picked up by a dark figure and is back on the sidewalk. The girls are relieved that Sarah is okay but is confused about who was the one that saved her. As they move towards a streetlight, the face is shown. It was Ethon. When his hands touched her skin he gets a flashback of Sarah spending time with Cassidy before Cass was a member. He lets go as Sarah yells at the truck driver.
Sarah: Hey don't you know a kid on the road when you see one?!
Ethon: You know, he couldn't have stopped.
Sarah: He was being a jerk. What are you supposed to be a clown or something?
Ethon: Sometimes. You gotta be more careful in the rain. It can get a lot more slippery.
The girls run down to check on Sarah.
Cassidy: Are you okay Sarah?
Lexi: You really scared us.
Sarah: I'm alright. Just be thankful this guy here was at the right place at the right time.
Cassidy: Thank you. A little early to be dressing up don't you think?
Ethon: Just testing the costume for later. You never know if it's gonna turn out good or not.
Lexi: Well it is getting close to Halloween, and so far we…
Cassidy looks at Lexi after she said Halloween.
Lexi: Oh, sorry Cass.
Cassidy: It's okay Lex.
Ethon: What's the matter, did something happen?
Cassidy: Yes actually. We lost someone last Halloween. It was…painful.
Ethon: I'm sorry to hear that. Don't let the past bother you forever. Just try to move on and focus on the future.
Cassidy: Well, that's what I'm trying to do.
Lexi: I'm sorry we didn't your name.
Ethon: Ethon. And you must be Lexi Bunny and Cassidy Coyote of the Loonatics. And you must be Sarah. Darla's daughter right?
Sarah: Yeah…How did you know?
Ethon: We've met before.
Lexi: Have we?
Cassidy: Come to think of it…I feel like I've…seen you before.
Ethon: What are the odds? I understand Darla works at the Acme motel just over there.
Sarah: How do you know where my mom works?
Ethon: I'm sure you all met my little friend over there.
They turn to see the crow on a balcony.
Ethon: He knows where everyone is. I have a bad feeling that your mother is in trouble…and I need to help her.
Lexi: Hold on Ethon. No disrespect or anything…but I think we can help Darla ourselves, but thank you.
Ethon: If that is what you want to do…I'm not gonna stop you.
Sarah: Come on guys lets get out of the rain.
Cassidy: Yeah sure, thank you again.
Ethon: You have a problem with the rain?
Cassidy: Well yeah, it's been like this ever since that night.
The girls proceed ahead.
Ethon speaks in a familiar tone: It can't rain all the time.
Sarah: Tech?
Cassidy and Lexi turn around as soon as Sarah said Tech's name and Sarah turns around as well to see that is gone.
Sarah: I could've sworn.
Cassidy: You know he did look familiar.
Lexi: Let's not worry about that, lets get to the motel. I'll tell Ace to pick us up.
The girls head over to the Acme Motel just down the street to get out of the rain and maybe help Darla while waiting for Ace. They enter inside and sees Darla with somebody Cassidy recognizes. She attempts to move forward, but is stopped by Lexi.
Lexi: No Cass. It's not worth it. Just let me call Ace okay?
Sarah: Let me do it. I'm not afraid of him.
Sarah goes to the table where her mom is. The man with her was Funboy.
Sarah: Hi Mom.
Darla: You know I not off for a couple more hours right.
Sarah: I know.
Funboy: Come on kid beat it before I kill you.
Darla: Please no. Here, go get yourself something to eat okay?
Sarah: Somebody already bought me dinner…the police…and the Loonatics.
Funboy: The police…Hahahaha…and the Loonatics…hahaha.
Funboy suddenly gets punched to the floor by Cassidy who became angry of his attitude.
Funboy: What the f…Oh it's you.
Cassidy: Yeah that's right. I see you haven't changed a bit.
Funboy: Coarse not bitch. Tell me something. (Pulls out his gun) How did it feel when you killed my boy?
Cassidy: What?
Darla: What?
Funboy: Don't play dumb with me. We know you murdered Tin-Tin.
Cassidy: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Darla: Seriously, Cassidy wouldn't do a thing like that. Even if she did want revenge she wouldn't do such a thing.
Lexi: Hey what's going on here?
Funboy: You're gonna pay for this bitch!
Darla: No, please put the gun away.
Funboy: Awww why won't you let me have fun?
Darla: I just don't want anyone to get hurt that's all. Please don't hurt them.
Funboy: Alright. I'll allow you to live girls. But next time, you gonna get it. You, meet me upstairs. (Funboy goes to the staircase)
Cassidy: Darla, why would you be with that man…after what he did to me…and Tech?!
Darla: I'm sorry Cassidy…If I don't what they say they'll kill Sarah.
Cassidy: You didn't have to sell out like this…I thought we were friends.
Darla: Cassidy listen…
Cassidy: No…you listen. I have tried my best to help you and your daughter and this is the thanks you give me. I wanted to get you out of your addiction but it looks like I can't do that. I hope it puts you out of your misery!
Cassidy Storms towards the restroom.
Lexi: Cass…Cass wait!
Darla: No Lex…Let her go. She's right.
Funboy: Lets go Darla!
Darla: Make sure she's okay.
Lexi: Okay.
While Lexi goes to the restroom to check on Cassidy, Darla heads to the stairs and Sarah goes to the counter and buys a soft drink.
Sarah: Thanks. Keep the change. Sorry you had to hear that.
Man: It's okay. I hear that all the time. Your mother is really struggling huh?
Sarah: Yeah.
In the restroom, Lexi finds Cassidy in the stall crying.
Lexi: Cass…you okay?
Cassidy: No. If only Tech was here. He'd do something about it. And maybe have his arms around me right now.
Lexi: I could give you a hug if you want.
Cassidy: Okay. You've always been a good friend to me Lexi.
Lexi: That's what friends are for Cass. I'm sure Tech would do something if he was here.
They give each other a hug and Cassidy finally settles down. Meanwhile upstairs, Darla and Funboy were going to get it on. He injects her left arm with a needle filled with morphine. Meanwhile just outside, Ethon and the crow where underneath them. The crow flies into the room first and Darla is the first to notice.
Darla: There's a big fucking bird over there.
Funboy turns around to see the crow sitting on his tv.
Funboy: It's a scrout…hahahahaha. Hey little birdy. Hey little birdy.
While Funboy taunts the bird. Ethon appears on the windowsill and walks into the room.
Ethon: Oh Funboy.
Ethon psychotically spins his head on a light bulb.
Funboy: What the fuck?
Ethon walks towards him and pretends to stab him.
Funboy: Hey, don't do that man! You almost gave me a fucking heart attack! (Pulls out his gun) You're gonna pick up your bird and leave now.
Ethon moves forward and sits down on a chair not intimidated and puts his hand on the gun barrel.
Ethon: Take your shot Funboy. Make sure it counts.
Funboy: Ha…you…are seriously fucked up.
Funboy shoots the gun making a huge hole in Ethon's hand and Ethon screams in pain and walks away slowly.
Funboy: Bingo! He shoots…he scores!
Ethon turns to the couple with Funboy laughing his head off, but Ethon starts laughing too as he shows him his wounded hand beginning to regenerate.
Ethon Hahahahah. Wooo! Waaahooo! Ha…ha…ha…ha…ha!
Funboy: Jesus Christ.
Ethon: Jesus Christ. The son of God. The man of miracles. The good lord himself. There was a joke about him, maybe you've heard it. Jesus Christ walks into a hotel…
Funboy shoots him again.
Ethon: He hands the caretaker 3 nails and asks…
He shoots Ethon once more.
Funboy: Don't you ever fucking die?!
Ethon: Can you put me up for the night?
Ethon smacks his hand causing him to shoot himself and he collapses on his bed. Ethon jumps on the bed as Darla heads for the bathroom. The wound is on Funboy's leg and Ethon has the gun.
Funboy: Look what you did…to my sheets.
Funboy then passes out as Ethon throws the gun away. He then takes him and drags him towards the washroom. Darla is still inside crying and hoping the coyote doesn't kill her, as the door is kicked open by Ethon and he sees her in the corner. He continues to drag him and outs him in the bathtub. He then has flashbacks of Funboy about to rape Cassidy in the church. Darla grabs a shaving tool to protect herself as Ethon turns on the showerhead and turns to Darla.
He moves towards her and she begins to scream and try to use the shaving tool. He stops her and throws it away. He then takes her to the front of a mirror.
Darla: Nooooooo! Nooooo! Please no! Ahhhhhh…haaaa…haaaaa.
Ehton puts his hand on her forehead.
Ethon: Look…Mother is the name for God…on the lips and hearts of all children. Do you understand?
He takes hold of her arm and she sees all the morphine she was injected with come out of it.
Ethon: Morphine is bad for you.
After seeing all the morphine come out of her arm, Ethon lets go of her and she is relieved that he will not kill her.
Darla: How did you do that?
Ethon Magic. How do you feel?
Darla: I feel…better. But Cassidy, I just hope she forgives me.
Ethon: I'm sure she will. Don't let this or him ruin your firendship. Go to her, talk to her, help her.
Ethon suddenly hears noise outside. He peeks over the window in the bathroom and sees Lexi, Cassidy and Sarah being picked up by Ace, Duck and Rev. They drive off and he returns to her. He then puts his hands on her head.
Ethon: Your daughter is out there on the streets waiting for you. I'm sure she could be at HQ by now. But in the meantime you could use some rest. Save your strength. You'll need it.
Darla looks into his eyes and suddenly sees who he is.
Darla: Tech…but you died. How did you…
Ethon: I think there are just two people to solve that. Your friend…and your daughter.
Darla looks at Funboy and runs off out of the room and downstairs to the exit. Apparently one of Top Dollar's henchmen was there. It was Grange talking to Gideon about the explosion at the pawn shop. He goes to the staircase and pulls his gun. Meanwhile Ethon is just exiting the washroom when all of a sudden from behind he is struck by Funboy and the shaving tool and falls to the floor.
Funboy: You fuck face!
Funboy snorts powder and proceeds to kill Ethon. He stabs him again with the tool, but then Ethon gets on top of him and tries to choke him out. Funboy grabs a beer bottle and smashes it over his head. He goes to finish it, when Ethon jabs him with the morphine needle in his gut. He grabs a few more and goes to finish Funboy off instead. Grange is getting closer to his room with an assault riffle in hand.
Funboy: Wait man…that's too much man…you're wasting it…this hurts.
Ethon: This will come soon…but first…your friends. T-bird and Skank. Where?
Grange has finally approached his room. He opens the door to see Funboy and his chest covered in morphine needles. He turns to the window to see Ethon.
Ethon: Shhhhhhhh.
Ethon then jumps out of the window and Grange goes after him. But when he poked his head out…Ethon was gone. Nowhere in sight. Grange then proceeds to Funboy who is almost dead and sees the needles being surrounded by the crow symbol on his chest made by the shaving tool.
