"You're the girl who got Scott killed, right?"
The next morning, Ramona dyes her hair, before attending Scott's funeral, where she meets Wallace. Young Neil expresses disbelief that Scott is dead.

When Neil replies that Scott always won the fights, Kim remarks despondently that "nobody wins forever". Neil meets Ramona.

Suddenly, Envy Adams pulls up at the church. The church's window are covered with black drapes. Many people, fans, including Knives, immediately recognize her, with ninja-like paparazzi following closely. Knives' obsession with Envy's band, The Clash at Demonhead, causes Stephen to point out that Sex Bob-omb is her favorite band. Knives corrects him, saying they're her favorite real band; Sex Bob-omb is her favorite band that isn't real, making Stephen sad.

He explains that Ramona still turned him down after Scott's defeat, infuriating everyone except Gideon, who explains that Matthew is the League's lowest-ranked member, and as such should get nothing. Graves also explains that he was fighting him so he could get Ramona. Matthew and the other Exes are angered by the fact that they ill be getting nothing. Matthew proposes that he and Gideon fight to the death: should Gideon win, Matthew will be killed. Should Matthew win, Gideon is to hand control of the League and G-Man Media over to him.
