Tai launches Nepenthe with a world-ready slogan: Goodbye Sorrow, Hello Happiness. While the crowd cheers, Zu and Ori steal their first free moments in Central Park.
Tai and Lucrezia work the Nepenthe crowd—but Santiaga sees through the fragrance. Meanwhile, Zu and Ori discover new interests they never shared in Verona.
Santiaga moves through the hotel lobby, where past lives flicker behind every face. Upstairs in the blue white light, the ordinary world falls away.
Zu and Ori try to have dinner like normal people. Between fries, fish and chips, the future starts feeling less like prophecy and more like a choice. For one evening, destiny comes with a side order.
At Hermes’ mansion, Zu meets Ori’s friends. But when Zu is left alone with Nepenthe, the lie she’s been carrying spills into the open.
A time crossing throws Ori onto the old road to Mantua, reliving the past that once destroyed him. Zu follows the light toward the green glow of Nepenthe.
In Revolutionary France, Delphine bursts into Tabithe’s shop with a pistol and nowhere to go. But behind a hidden door lie memories of Mercutio.
In the Capulet lab, Zu discovers the future she might have chosen. Ori follows Hermes below the Wright mansion and into the Montague lineage. The two houses are opening their doors.
Lucrezia and RITA ask Zu to help perfect the red perfume. Hermes shows Ori why it was dangerous, why the Montagues turned against it—and the law the Capulets broke.
Tai tempts Zu with a way to save Ori’s life. When the blue white light descends, her choice is clear—but escape may come too late.
