Inspired by the song and recognising that he cannot have his friends while fused, Paul achieves a mental state of not wanting, and is able to disconnect, leaving the Ophidian in the ring. The Green Lanterns bring him back to the Mountain, where he connects the ring to his personal lantern and allows the Ophidian to show him all of his desires at once. By understanding and accepting all of those desires as parts of himself, his mind is permanently altered to a state of Orange Enlightenment. The Ophidian takes up residence in his personal lantern, and he states his new Lantern Oath for the first time.

'''Guy:''' A bit. Mom wanted me to clear out some of Dad's stuff.\\
'''Paulphidian:''' I can only see links between events that have a strong emotional resonance.\\
'''Guy:''' Yeah? Didn't mean anything to me.\\
'''Paulphidian:''' You're wrong. There's a strong emotional resonance there. You're in the kitchen drinking from a can of cheap beer while pouring the rest of his stash down a sink.\\
'''Guy:''' ''[nods and goes to take another drink]'' Yeah, I remember that. So what-?\\
'''Paulphidian:''' It's the same brand. You like drinking it despite the taste because it reminds you that he's dead.\\

!!! Short version

Paul spends a week merged with the Ophidian, essentially a PhysicalGod but increasingly alienated from his teammates, until he is able to make peace with all his desires and reach a state of "Orange Enlightenment", letting him release the Ophidian into his personal lantern.

!!! Longer version



Equivalent canon episode: "Disordered". "Reordered" likely refers to the fact that Paul has not fallen apart in the aftermath of the training simulation, he's just changed. Also, achieving orange enlightenment restructures his thinking.

* IsThatTheBestYouCanDo: Paulphidian is dismayed that Earth's Green Lanterns confront them without any substantial support from the Guardians (and consequently they don't have the raw power to win). Interestingly, Paulphidian isn't exactly ''hostile'' to the Lanterns when saying this, they just think that the Guardians are failing to measure up.
--> '''Paulphidian''': What else do they have?\\
'''Jordan''': Nothing. They were going to make you the offer they made to Larfleeze. As long as you stayed in this Sector they wouldn't touch you.\\
'''Paulphidian''': But that's a tremendous abdication of responsibility! And we are proof that it didn't even work with Larfleeze. What if we had been Parallax, The Butcher or The Predator? They are far less personable than we are!
