Synch is in a coma but snaps out of it. The twins explain their origins. Emplate asked his sister, Monet,to take part in his world ruling schemes. She laughed him off. Emplate transformed her into Penance. Their sisters sent him to an alternate dimension. Penance followed. Mourning their sister, the twins merged into one being that looked like her. Thus, Monet has been Penance and the twins have been M. In the present, the twins switch places with their sister so she is once again herself and the twins are Penance. Bianca turns sentient roaches into dwarves and decides to use them as lackeys.
