- Tweedle wakes Agatha, but another Sturmvoraus relative pops thru the door before they can get away.
- While the guardian clanks fight off the schweincopters, Agatha checks on Violetta. Violetta wants Agatha to run; Tweedle wants Agatha alive.
- Tweedle wakes just in time to witness the end of their escape attempt.
- As the sparkhounds attack the clanks, Tweedle attacks Gil. After a brief fight Tweedle seems to get the upper hand.
- Seffie switches to horseback, leaving Tweedle alone in the sleigh.
- Tweedle is going crazy from waiting for his minions to capture Agatha. Seffie is calmer, but isn't fully aware of who she's up against.
- Agatha sees Mechanicsburg, encircled by a wall with statues of her signalling "stop" to those approaching, and covered with giant thorn-bushes.
- They discuss whether the giant frog is a threat -- or even a frog.
- A dozen clanks surround them. Seffie is adamant that Agatha not fall into Gil's hands, but Krosp sees no way to escape.
- Agatha wants to rescue Violetta, but before she can get away she falls ill.
- Klaus calms the fears of his people by informing them that he has taken steps to ensure Gil's loyalty to the empire. His eventual cure, sadly, is less sure.

- Gil fights off the sparkhounds, but would like some help. Tweedle tells him his lackeys are busy dying, and is surprised when an exuberant Bangladesh Dupree jumps in.

- Zeetha decides that she and Violetta are not going to die just to impress some guys they hardly know.

- As Gil and Agatha argue about what's at risk, power floods the room with the three lights .

- Krosp returns from scouting for food, without any food . Violetta hasn't been able to find the secret door, even tho' Krosp led her to where Agatha's trail ended. Fortunately, Agatha opens it from the other side at just that moment.

- Tweedle's hand is smoking from Gil's zappy attack, and he's afraid it's ruined -- till Bang chops it off. Then she stabs him thru the other hand before he manages to knock her down.
- Tweedle and his hangers-on fall thru a portal into The Refuge of Storms, startling a man who was eating his lunch.
- Bang wakes, and instantly moves to protect Gil from Bohrlaikha, even tho' the clank had made no move. Bang is still deeply suspicious.
- Agatha is surprised about Tweedle's ability to return Gil's lightning attack, and worried that she might have given him that power. She asks Wooster to help her get to England—"at least for a while." Dimo asks Agatha about the Lucrezia in her head, and tells her she has to be careful.
- Escape is harder than they expected it to be -- and then suddenly easier.
- Tweedle doesn't know what just happened, but the startled man knows him. He yells at them to run away, and they do as a machine behind them fries itself.
- Tweedle is hurt. Krosp wants Agatha to kill him, but she won't. Violetta reports more clanks coming, and they have to go. Agatha means to leave Tweedle for Gil, but has forgotten about the goop.

- The Wulfenbach clanks fire what appears to be an immobilizing blob at Agatha, who is pushed out of the way by Violetta. They fire regular bullets at Tweedle and the sparkhounds. Agatha's schweincopter clanks charge and butt into the Wulfenbach clanks, knocking them over.
- Higgs reports he didn't catch Violetta, but did see Zeetha. An alarm sounds warning of an attack before he can tell what Zeetha said.
- The room is launched into the air, aimed at the shrinking machine.

- We pull back to see that Mechanicsburg is displayed holographically on a table. It's Heterodyne technology and it's easy to use, as Dimo demonstrates by switching the view to see what's going on in a nearby valley.
- Agatha and company made good distance in the air, and are moving as fast as they can on the ground. But the hunters are gaining.

- They run to the fortress, but Dr. Bonefish appears to have locked himself out.

- Tweedle tells Seffie that Violetta would know they have to get to Blackridge Gap, so that's where they're headed. Ishtvan arrives and confirms the destination.

- Gil arrives and finds Violetta where he expected to find Agatha. He has many questions, but Violetta has trouble answering. Tweedle intervenes, but Gil is unstoppable.
- Dimo tells Agatha about Mechanicsburg. He also mentions the jägers living in the caverns, along with some others who've made their way there.
- A briar wall has formed between the Wulfenbach troops and Mechanicsburg.

- Tweedle informs Agatha that they've been there three days, and that his knife would not only have killed Tarvek, but also have destroyed the body.
- Zeetha jumps in the lake to wash off the ants. The ants adapt. Othar reappears, as does the fortress. And another thing.
- Zeetha and Higgs make their way out of town, fending off the unwanted advances of General Sklee's reptilian troops while discussing their relationship.
- Tweedle is having some trouble finishing off Bang. Bohrlaikha has some trouble finishing off the chess-piece clank.
- The attacking clank has burst into one of the long halls. Gil orders the clanks back, convinced that it's from Agatha. Higgs looks a bit out of sorts.
- Ishtvan wants to find the master, but Zogok calls the pack to go after Agatha.
- The clank makes off with Tweedle. Bohrlaikha takes Bang and Gil back for treatment. The other minion stays to find Violetta.
- The Wulfenbach minion tracks Violetta to where she's fallen in with a jäger patrol. There his identity is revealed and he's reunited with Zeetha.
- As Tweedle starts to extract Agatha from her gooey trap, one of the clanks makes a last-ditch effort to complete its duty.
- Ishtvan is convinced that Agatha is lost—that Wulfenbach has her. Tweedle is not, and rides off to recapture her.
- Gil wakes after three days. Bang is still sleeping. Gil is concerned that she's been driving herself too hard lately.
- Krosp still doesn't know how they'll be getting out of this underground hangar. Agatha explains.
- Tweedle's attempt to regain control fails as Violetta demonstrates her smoke-knight skills.
