Back in the cul-de-sac, Carl notices that the neighborhood has grown to ten houses because two teams were lost in the third heat. The abandoned houses are arranged by elimination order, with One Fine Pig's empty home closest. Outside, Osvaldo, Filipe, Radoslav, and Jasha chat about the garages, and Osvaldo explains that changing heats cost him access to garages from his original group.

While heading to the abandoned house, Carl checks replies to the message he sent about Chalchiuhtlicue, whom Samantha calls Chachi. Rosetta says Chachi is a minor goddess tied to childbirth, women, water, fire, and harvests, and that broad, catchall deities usually perform poorly in the Ascendency because their powers are comparatively weak. Carl then asks why his Scavenger's Daughter patch reacts when he speaks to Lucia and whether the same path Chachi may be using to reach Lucia's hidden children could work in reverse, but Mordecai admits nobody understands what is happening.

Prepotente adds that Chachi resembles the Aztec goddess of the same name, a generally benevolent figure linked to a flood myth. Donut interrupts the discussion with jokes about long names and excitedly invites Prepotente to her upcoming concert, revealing that Carl will perform a duet with her after using potions and scrolls to avoid embarrassing himself. The exchange briefly lightens the mood, but it does not answer Carl's larger fears.

At the abandoned garage, Carl uses his key to open the door. Inside, he finds Penelope the pig beside the damaged APV, happily licking up the remains of the gremlin that died after the team's shield activated. Carl kneels, calls to her, and leads Penelope out, bringing the last living piece of One Fine Pig into his own household.
