* While investigating the apparent murder of Jim Darkmagic by someone called Roger, the party stumbles upon what seems to be a decisive clue.
--> '''Mike''': It's a little photo of a very young Jim and what looks to be a very young Pathos at school. You can see that Jim is holding a big trophy and its says "''Nr. 1 Magic Guy''" and then underneath it says "''Best at magic''".\\
'''Jerry''': Is Pathos holding a smaller trophy?\\
'''Mike''': Pathos does not have a trophy and he's in the background sort of watching. That's the front of it.\\
'''Jerry''': But... [Gesticulating turning the photo].\\
'''Mike''': It says "''Roger and I, 1967''".\\
'''Chris''': [[LampshadeHanging Reveal.]]\\
'''Jerry''': [[AlwaysCheckBehindTheChair I flip it back over.]]\\
'''Mike''': It's still just a photo of Jim and Pathos.\\
'''Jerry''':[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment I flip it over again]].\\
'''Mike''': It still just say "''Roger and Jim, 1967''".\\
'''Jerry''': [[OverlyLongGag I flip it over and then I flip it over again really fast]].\\
'''Mike''': Still just the picture and still just the inscription.\\
''{{Beat}}''\\
'''Mike''': It turns into a dove and flies away.\\

*The new dynamic between Omin as the horrible boss and Viari as the new intern who's not nearly as gullible as Jim and Binwin.
-->'''Viari''': I'm feeling a little bit crowded in my [[RedShirt intern status]].\\
'''Omin''': I don't think of you as an intern. I think of you as a ''sub''-employee. You know what I mean? Think of the entire range of it, the gradient. Think about everything you've accomplished for us.\\
'''Viari''': I have.\\
'''Omin''': "Intern" is not... it doesn't capture it anymore. "Sub-employee", it's an aspirational title and it gives you something to reach for.\\
'''Viari''': Could I be the ''Senior'' sub-employee?\\
'''Omin''': Yes! If another sub-employee were to come along I would allow you to... belittle them.\\
'''Viari''': Do I get a stock-option?\\
'''Omin''': [[ComicallySmallBribe One stock.]] You get one stock. ''A'' stock.\\
'''Viari''': A discount on merch?\\
'''Omin''': No. No, employees actually pay ''more'' for merch. I'm sorry, that's a policy that goes before my rein.\\

However, this is immediately before the group realizes they've triggered the floor to give way...to a massive acid pit.

-->'''Scott:''' When you were in 'Nam?
-->'''Jerry:''' Not Nam, Hell!
-->'''Wil:''' Nam ''was'' hell. "Necromancers are dicks, you guys. Necromancers are dicks." Aeofel just stares off, the wings beating beneath him, his silvery hair blowing out behind him, a thousand-square stare in his eyes. He feels nostalgia as a standard action. A single tear falls from his perfectly black, orbular eye, and turns into a diamond as the wind catches it and carries it away.
