** So, we're finally gonna get some closure on the trial of the century; the guilty will have their sentences rendered, Violet will get some recompense for everything his other heads have put him through, it'll all be great, [[TemptingFate right?]] [[spoiler: WRONG. The Trial is a bit of a KangarooCourt (as is to be expected in Night Vale), but the sentence handed down is ''death'' for the four conspirator heads via a bullet to the dome piece so as not to harm Violet. Only wait, ''it will absolutely harm and kill Violet'' since they exist as a single unit; Violet can't live without his other heads. The court pays him no heed and goes ahead with the sentencing, dooming an innocent being to die for the crime of sharing a body with four criminals. Also, the reactions of the other heads to the sentencing are this combined with TearJerker; Grey breaks down sobbing, Gold (in a rare show of his true nature) vomits on the floor, and Green lets out a roar unlike any he has ever given because it is laced with ''abject terror'' in addition to his fury.]]
