* TraumaticHaircut: Sal Pavy has his long blond hair cut off by thieves who want it to sell it to a wig maker. He's furious at Sam and Widge for not stepping in to stop it, though they point out that if they'd interfered, much worse could have happened to any or all of them than just losing hair.* TwistingTheProphecy:

* TwistingTheProphecy: Widge and his friends meet a fortune teller who tells them prophecies about their lives, all of which become true in ways they didn't expect. At the end, Widge decides to visit her one last time, but becomes aghast when his fortune is that he "will tell a great many lies". Noticing his despair, the fortune teller urges him to not take the prophecy so literally, and Widge ultimately resolves to tell countless "lies", by becoming a playwright.

* AppetiteEqualsHealth: Widge, a former doctor's apprentice, examines a girl name Tetty who fears she's caught the plague. After a brief inspection for plague symptoms, finding none, Widge asks if she's lost her appetite. When she tells him she actually happens to be hungry right then, this reassures Widge (who then reassures her) that she's not plague-infected.
