** Unfortunately, all the revelations leaves Bud hurt that she didn't know about any of this, feeling that no one trusted her with it, and a fight starts. This causes Undine to flash back to the fight Team Alchemical had before they died...

** And what did Vedika tell Cassidy that got her suspicious about Undine and her role in the deaths of Team Alchemical? A very innocuous comment that Undine might be dealing with things she can't talk about. Cue Cassidy, who already hates Undine, jumping to conclusions...

* Vedika reveals she knew about Goops after accidentally seeing her in Undine's mind during their time practicing...and she never said a word because seeing into people's minds is ''all'' she can do, so she felt there was nothing she could do to help.

* Lettie, the leader of Team Flash (who we last saw telling off a teammate who was voicing resentment over Cassidy's plain preference of the training club to Team Flash), drops the bomb that Cassie never made it hope and it was reported to the police and the school. Undine, Vedia and Kokoro's shocked faces speak for themselves.

** Given that much of Cassidy's motivation was the desire to be special and important, the fact that she dies alone, no one even aware that she was in any sort of danger, without even a body left behind, is upsetting.

* HP finds Undine sitting on a roof overlooking the memorial for the fallen members of Team Alchemical. The memorial still has flowers and plushies, and the offerings have been arranged in a heart shape.
* Undine remarks how weird it feels now the street has been repaired and is back in traffic and says once the offerings for the memorial peter out, it'll be just like any old street and people will forget what happened there... then adds it may be all for the best if they do.

* HP's expression after Vedika shares her perspective of the night's events, as she looks to Cassidy and asks for confirmation that she attacked Undine with her weapon. Cassidy [[OhCrap frantically claims]] [[ImplausibleDeniability they were just sparring]], and HP stares at her as if seeing her friend for the first time.

* The interstitial gives us a glimpse into Cassidy's thought process before getting the dream: she desperately wanted to be special, to help, like HP... and falls asleep begging for a chance. In that view, her powers being activated by her cutting herself in half with her scissors seem like a cruel twist.

to:

* While the rest of the Training Club coming to Undine's defense is initially a heartwarming moment, it quickly turns sour when Undine becomes overwhelmed by the group's in-fighting and flees the scene - but not without shouting an apology over her shoulder. The kicker? Right before doing so, she recalls Kokoro telling her what the Purple One told her over the phone. It's ''very'' likely that Undine believes if the Training Club becomes too heavily invested in either defending her or uncovering her role in the Team Alchemical massacre, they'll be targeted as well.

* When Anemone appears to Tessa in the cemetery, apparently hoping to find some actual information on the Purple One, and later testing Tessa's knowledge by asking her if she knows the identity of the statue in front of them (very obviously modeled after the Woman in White) it quickly becomes clear that Tessa has no idea what she's talking about. Instead of becoming frustrated or upset, Anemone seems to be more resigned than anything else, even claiming that she's used to people not believing her. How long has Anemone had to carry at least one CassandraTruth with her? How long has she been trying to find someone who knows something, ''anything,'' about the Woman in White? How long did it take for it to become just another part of her routine?
