--> '''Paul''': She-. She ''what''?\\
'''Beautia''': And then she wouldn't tell us where the switch was to turn them back…\\
'''Paul''': But… A Possum? There's no way its neural structures are complex enough to contain a Human mind. Was… He alright?\\
'''Beautia''': Her machine didn't literally swap minds. It just rearranged the connections between mind and body. Justin's brain was still in ''his'' body, but it was getting sensory input from the Possum's body. And the same with the Possum.\\
'''Paul''': I don't think that's technically easier. Ah, also: are there any Possums on Venus, because it sounds like that's something I need to worry about now.

Takes place April 21-26

Paul attends a Sivana family gathering, pretending to be Beautia's boyfriend (at her request). The gathering is attacked, however, by a Sheeda Huntsman from the future, whom Paul is unable to defeat. The Sivana children build a gun that is able to destroy it, after which their father returns from the future and announces his intent to fight the impending Sheeda invasion and Harrowing.

The next day, Paul visits Themyscira and reveals what he has learned about Diana's (and Donna's) origin, which brings about a reconciliation between Queen Hippolyta and the Circle. In the process, one of Apollo's mistakes is revealed; Eris punches him out cold, and she and Paul dump him in a pigsty.

Paul visits Erebos and obtains permission from Hades to test blood samples from several divinities for their arcane similarities. While there, he learns that Cronus has been meddling with stealing power from the gods through sympathetic magic with part of Cottus' body.

Back on the surface, while waiting for Atlantis to come up with the results, he meets Beautia Sivana, who invites him to her family's annual gathering in their Venus habitat,
pretending to be Beautia's her boyfriend (at so that she gets less comments on her request). The lack of social life. He also learns that she's involved in preparing to mass-produce Baroness von Gunther's purple healing ray.

On Venus, Paul receives a friendly welcome, apart from the younger two children stealing everything from his subspace pocket. However, the

The next day, Paul visits Themyscira and reveals what he has learned about Diana's (and Donna's) origin, which origin: Diana was created and empowered by the goddesses as per the official story, but Cronus spied on the process and hijacked the ritual to create Donna (from a piece of Cottus) and have her similarly empowered. The revelation brings about a reconciliation between Queen Hippolyta and the Circle. In Circle.

Apollo then appears, to fill in
the process, one gaps in Paul's information, recounting how he sent the Circle a vision of Apollo's mistakes is revealed; Eris Cottus in the expectation that they would go and ''talk'' to Cottus, and how Cronus' aim was to have Donna become his servant, but the cultists looking after her were killed in an accident. After questioning how Apollo allowed the misunderstanding to continue for so long, Paul discreetly summons Eris, who punches him Apollo out cold, and she and Paul dump him in a pigsty.

The Renegade talks to Sunset Shimmer in the aftermath of their Darfur assault, discussing the morality and ethics of their choice to kill some of the leaders. It is later revealed that without Paul's intervention in that timeline, the Huntsman killed most of the Sivana family, with only Thaddeus Senior and Magnificus surviving by virtue of not being present.

* TapOnTheHead: After Apollo delivers an informative but cowardly spiel, Eris punches him in the jaw and knocks him out. Fairly well justified, since they're both gods; it's reasonable that she could hit hard enough to do it, without hurting her hand, and that he would suffer no lasting ill effects.
