Major character Bob is suddenly murdered by his background friend Eric. This sets Alice's trauma into overdrive and causes her to lash out at various parties in her grief. The next few episodes are from the point-of-view of the trio's associates, who can only watch as their friends' lives (and eventually their own) fall apart to schemes and plans beyond their understanding.
* '''Played for Horror''':???The death of Bob at Eric's hands is initially a small dramatic moment whose consequences start out small and slowly go FromBadToWorse. Alice's FaceHeelTurn is gradual, devolving from HeroicBSOD into BewareTheSuperman - The death that ensues in the wake of her grief is a global event that emergency alerts, folks that mean well, various superweapons and even schemers that reach a HeelRealization are all unable to prevent. The deterioration of the setting takes place in real-time as the deaths of everyone trying to stop her are depicted one after another. The story concludes with [[CerebusCallBack a relevant motivational quote Bob said to Alice during happier times]], eliciting a final SkywardScream.
