* MoreHeroThanThou: Will and Aruna have to get a MacGuffin to Kalem, but the shelter's surrounded by Mooks. Will, still suffering the aftereffects of hypothermia, declares his intention to draw the bad guys away so Aruna can get through. Aruna shoves the MacGuffin into his arms and runs off before he can stop her. Made worse both by the fact that they've been fighting bitterly for most of the episode, and that it leads to [[spoiler:Aruna's apparent death.]]
