Back in the past, Von Karma has kicked us out of Dovers room, where the statues have melted. Ray is a bit distraught, so Gregory gives an inspirational speech about being hope for those who have made mistakes, and Ray admits he has much to learn. Kate H. agrees to help as much as possible, even offering chocolate to the group. Its too sweet for Gregory but Ray likes it just fine. She gives us her backstory: Kate was taken in as a young girl by Master Jeff, and works with him to make it up to him.

There is then some time spent on a new piece of evidence: a polaroid camera. The day of the murder, Master Jeff was supposed to photograph every exhibit, but he ran out of film early because Kate ended up taking around 14 photos of Dover's exhibit. Because Dover, it turns out, isnt actually Dover, but the mysterious sculptor Pierre Hoquet (appears okay?). While fan-girling over the exhibit, Kate accidentally unplugs the A/C and melts it. There's a lot of mysteries at once: why is Kate such a fan of Hoquet? Why is Hoquet hiding his identity? Why is the lyre salty? (That one was from Delicia).

Enter Von Karma. He shuts down the investigation for the day. Not being able to really do anything else, Gregory and Ray go out for hamburgers.

The next morning, we meet Kate and Badd in the detention center. Shockingly, Master Jeff has been Rean Schwarzered, and his hair has turned white due to Von Karmas all-night long interrogation session. Some of Kate's chocolate cheers him right up, but his hair is still white. Feeling a bit more energized, Master tells us some interesting facts: Gustavia and Dovers desserts tasted similar, and he enjoyed the taste of Dovers supposedly salty lyre. Master surmises that he cant taste salt disease. Even weirder, he says he has a recipe for a cure at his mansion. Huh - a bit contrived, but let's see how this plays out.

Master tells Kate to live for herself, rather than for him, which causes her great distress. She runs out of the room. Wow, what a neat parallel to Miless situation, huh.
