Charles Delaware Tate finds the way to the future through the I-Ching maze for Petofi, and he begins preparations to leave. Petofi instructs Beth to bury a suitcase containing essentials, including the portrait of Quentin, using a map he has given her. Beth is to follow afterwards. Barnabas tells Charity/Pansy a "secret" which is meant to prevent Petofi from obtaining the portrait. Petofi (in Quentin's body) performs the I-Ching trance successfully, and finds himself in 1969.
