Hades' hand felt as if it was screaming at him to let the scythe go. Lucifer asks Hades not to tell the others about the scythe
- Hades is surprised that Lucifer wants to hide the information. Lucifer says it's strange that it isn't common knowledge that Death's scythe causes agony to those who try to wield it and that Death must have a good reason for concealing such an ability. Hades agrees not to tell anyone and says he might owe Death more than Lucifer does. Lucifer says that isn't possible and then hears the same voice from before asking him what he owes Death
- Poseidon reveals that some beings refer to Peter as "Devil's Blade". Poseidon reveals that beings known as "Shadows" are the ones calling Peter that.

Peter asks "Who the fuck cares what yer family thinks? Especially after today?"
- Peter tells Poseidon that the only reason they aren't holding him in the same room as Death is that if Death wakes up and sees Poseidon, he'll kill him on the spot. Poseidon snickers, and says "Implying Zeus won't do the same when he sees me."
