Chapter Synopsis: Lexx tells Lola about the secondary after effect of the LOL murders
Transitioning back to Lola, we see that she is laying down in bed. Suddenly, her cellphone rings. She answers it.
"Hello?"
"Lola? It's me, Lexx."
"Lexx? What do you want?"
"I want to talk to you. Can you meet me at Banger's & Mosh at 8:00?"
"Sure, but can't you just talk to me right now?"
"Well, yes. But I think talking in person would be better."
"I'll see you there, then."
"Great. I can't wait."
Lola prepares for their meetup and drives over to the famed British eatery and rock venue, Banger's & Mosh. Her watch says it's 7:50. Lexx arrived shortly thereafter.
"Ah, you actually came. To be honest, I thought you'd blow me off. Well, shall we go in?"
"Yes."
Both of them enter the bistro. It's charmingly rustic. Lexx and Lola approach the hostess stand.
"Welcome to Banger's & Mosh, how many people are dining in today?"
"2"
"Alright, follow me."
The waitress leads them to their table.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Water." Both of them said in unison
"Right, now what would you like to eat?"
"Shepherd's pie."
"Fish and chips."
"Ok, it will be out shortly."
She leaves, and returns a split second later with the waters.
"Your waters have arrived." She said as she sets them down on their table.
"I wonder who's headlining today…"
"I heard it's a new band called Tainted Love."
"Oh, so Soft Cell is playing tonight?"
"No. The original singer, Gloria Jones, also isn't playing."
"How do you know who the original singer is?"
"Internet. Also, Luke told me."
"Ah."
The members of the band pop up on stage. Of the 8 members, 2 of them look very familiar…
"Wait, is that…"
Before they could find out, their food arrived.
"Here's your shepherds' pie and fish and chips. Enjoy."
She sets the food down on the table. Unfortunately, thanks to her, we don't know the name of that very familiar lead vocalist of today's headlining rock band. The band plays a soft rock tune as Lexx and Lola begin their conversation.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about, Lexx?"
"I just have to tell you a few things. Ever since the incident, the brothers of the Loud House have been a house divided. Seven of us think you are completely innocent in the crime, but three of us think you have been an accomplice to the crime. And one of those three may have become mentally unstable."
"Really?" Lola said in a whimpering tone "How could anyone think I had anything to do with that? I just can't understand."
"I just want to tell you. It's not your fault. I am one of the 7 who knows you are innocent."
"Thanks, Lexx."
"I have something for you."
Lexx takes out a wood carving. It's a statue depicting a white-haired figure holding a pink sword in one hand, and a blue shield in the other.
"For a true friend."
Lola takes it.
"You know, Linky said something that reminds me of your figurine. He said "A knight will always need his sword and shield.""
"Huh, my sister said the exact same thing."
"I guess that great minds think alike, huh?
"Yes."
Both of them begin to eat their food. Lola tried dipping her chips in mayonnaise. She found that it tasted better than ketchup. After both of them finished eating, they begin to head back home.
"Lana is concerned for you. Maybe I should escort you home."
"I appreciate the thought, but I can take care of myself."
"Are you sure? It's no trouble for me."
"Yes, but I have one more thing to do."
"What would that be?"
"To see them again."
Lexx understands what she means.
"Ok, I understand, but please…just stay safe, for both yours and Lana's sakes."
"I will, thanks Lexx."
Both of them leave the restaurant. Lola manages to catch a glance at their calendar.
"October 18, 2046."

"So, ready for karaoke night, Lana?"
"Sure, Lexie."
"If I know the lyrics, then I'm an amazing singer. If not, I'm more tone deaf than Emile."
"Who's that?"
"Some guy on the internet that Landon watches in his spare time. I actually watched some of his content. It's pretty funny."
"Right, when were you tone deaf?"
