Synopsis:

Arsenal, Lian and Rose return from their difficult experience at the Slab penitentiary, to find Dolphin moving in to Titans Tower with a lot of baggage. Argent and Epsilon go shopping while the rest of the Titans try various tactics (bribery, flattery...) to try and get the resident kids to tell them where they came from and Dolphin sets Arsenal up with D.E.O. agent Dakota Jamison.

Epsilon keeps an appointment at Pomeroy Hotel with a woman called Theta. This woman takes offence at Argent's presence and attacks her - Epsilon leaps to his new friend's defence, and no harm is done, although Theta flies away. Despite not getting any explanation for the events, Argent promises Epsilon not to tell the rest of the team, for which he is very grateful. Dakota Jamison arrives on Titans island, where she spots the kids and soon makes a call saying that she's found 'them'.
