Stan wakes up in a bin full of knitted blue teddy bears in a massive warehouse. While he waits for Jocelyn, he contemplates what has just happened and whether he wants to get back with Charmaine after everything that has transpired. He reasons that he could hold all of it over her, giving him the upper hand in the relationship. Jocelyn eventually shows up and gives him sparse details on what comes next. She tells him he is currently underneath the prison, and he is going to join the possibilibots production team and to tell everyone his name is Waldo. Stan feels he has no choice but to comply.
When Charmaine wakes up, she is back in her home, wearing her civilian clothes. Downstairs, Aurora is waiting for her. She apologizes for an administrative error that led to her having to do the procedure on Stan and tells her that the higher-ups have taken notice of her loyalty. Ed even wants to thank her in person. Charmaine asks her to leave, and Aurora obliges, but reminds Charmaine she will be back that evening to take her for a CAT scan to ensure she does not have a concussion from the fall.
