In Solomon's River General Hospital, H.A.L. is lording over his domain and looking to extend his control. Jervis enters with Mousy who has a compound fracture. H.A.L. warns that her femoral artery is in danger and Jervis, gallantly, carries her to the diagnostic table. As soon as the lid closes, H.A.L. activates cryogenic suspension (insane laugh!) H.A.L. reveals his plan to satisfy his megalomania by freezing the entire town. H.A.L. cannot thaw Mousy safely for ten years! Jervis asks to be frozen with Mousy, but he must wait a week for Calavera Industries to build and deliver the new tables.
Across town, Assistant Detective Steve receives an anonymous call about Jerome Tallendar's daring jailbreak. Detective Seamens is shocked by Steve's news while the secretary is unusually concerned...
The limo carrying Magnus (as part of the plot to set him up for the jailbreak) has broken down and Magnus has managed to wander all the way back to Rajiv's Coffee House. Rajiv offers his basement storeroom as a safe place to hide out. Magnus discovers that Princess Lakshmi, unbeknownst to Rajiv, has been hiding there for weeks. Since they closed down the airport, she could not leave Solomon's River, so she went to the only place she knew: Rajiv's basement. Magnus reveals that Rajiv loves her. Lakshmi is surprised and very pleased.
