The day has finally arrived: the 2015 Grammy's gather together musical talent at the top of the food chain, which means that NOVA Records will be well represented at this year's ceremony. Unfortunately, this includes performances from Keijen Blade's band, Heatless Passion, and Nadia Reichenov's, Derere, both of whom are working for "Chad Becksworth", aka Draken Crombe, head of the Shadowkind-hating cult, the Church of the Lord's Humanity.  Equipped with some sort of ability to hypnotize large crowds with subliminal messages, Wynn fears what lies beneath Keijen's intended performance, and is sending his Knights to shut down the broadcast, to prevent that message from being spread to millions of viewers worldwide.

Meanwhile, the gang finally has a chance to see Rafael Giovanni again - but what he's been up to in the months since they last saw him, and how his reunion with Buffy will go, remains to be seen.

Several of the Knights have decided that this is their last chance as well to try and break Nadia free from Keijen's influence, now that they've learned the truth about him - that Keijen is in fact Kel'in'hrae, sadistic son of the Nightmare God Malaak'a, likely working to free his father from the prison Sehanine had created for him.  The prison sealed by the relic that the team has been chasing for years, believing it to be an immortality-granting talisman of great power.

The truth, it seems, was worse than they could have imagined.  

One step at a time, however, and stopping the signal is first priority on Failboat's to do list for now.  With an actual plan under their belts this time, maybe this is the turning point they've been waiting for...

It didn't seem to do much good against those fucking iron man robots at the castle... Must mean I've got to do a lot more training. [He smirks, drains his glass, and starts mixing up another.]

Yeah, tell me about it. I almost thought I was going to die back there. [meanwhile, finnick just lurks around obviously waiting for moar drinks. don't make him regret his promoting you HE CAN TAKE IT BACK. maybe.]

[The drink train has no plan of stopping, alright. Here, have a... Brandy and Benedictine. That shits fancy

[65]

[whee more drinks!! finnick downs that shit like it ain't no thang, too.]

[isisagent]

The whole time I was just wondering like... Wynn has bottomless pits of money. Where the hell are his giant death-breathing robots?

[65]

Oh, he probably guards it with ... I don't know, magic or something.

[isisagent]

Getting real tired of this [Airquotes] "everything is magic" shit.

[65]

It used to bother me, too. But, over time, I've come to a begrudging acceptance.

[isisagent]

[Archer frowns.] Not me. This Harry Potter shit is dumb as hell.

Except the whole, like, magical hangover cures thing. That's been pretty fucking great.

[65]

See? There are advantages, I suppose.
