Nothing is okay.

What was meant to be the Knights' triumphant collaborative effort to cut off Chad Becksworth's bid for total control of NOVA Records, allowing them to follow the trail elsewhere, has descended into chaos. Rafael's songs triggered some kind of reaction in Jade that allowed her to regain her lost memories, only to have their reunion cut tragically short by the actions of a hitman who took her hostage on stage, demanding her necklace. While Myri and Violet attempted to convince him that the necklace did not lie with her, Jade signaled to Rafael that she meant to utilize the distraction to break free - but things went out of control and Rafael's bullets struck Jade instead. The Knights felled the hitman, as the world watched, and Rafael begged a distraught and enraged Des to end his life. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure that only Buffy & Spike could see assisted Myrilandel in healing Jade enough to hang on for a little time more...

Time for people to say goodbye.

In the meantime, the police have arrived, arresting Rafael, Archer, and Des (or attempting to), and preparing Jade to be taken to the hospital. Everyone else is being ordered to head outside to be taken down to the station for questioning. It's a hectic scene, but people can finally snatch a few moments amid the chaos to try to make sense of what just happened...

We're just taking statements, Miss. You're not in any trouble.

[slay]

Then, not having my name shouldn't be a problem.

[behindcloseddoors]

Unfortunately, Miss, you might be called upon to clarify questions later, if there's a trial. You were right front and center in the middle of the action.

[slay]

So were, like, six other people. You can't make me testify anything.

[behindcloseddoors]

That'll be up to the courts.

[slay]

Well, when you have court order demanding I give you my name and testify, then I'm sure you'll be able to find me.

[ the biggest sigh ever, and he looks like he needs ten more cups of coffee to deal with this shit. ] Again, no one's accusing you, Miss. You're not in trouble. But refusing to cooperate with authorities isn't exactly gonna put you in our good graces either.

[slay]

I'd like to be as far out of your graces as possible, actually. My therapist says I have a problem with authority figures.

He might be onto something. [ MOVING ON ]
