Allura hears another thundering roar as a cat with an eyepatch named Pidge arrives and says "The Lion need going out. He goes out every sundown to hunt for the strange white beast that escaped him. You know that purrfectly well so don't be stupid" Allura picks up Pidge and says "Come on Pidge, time for your nap" but when Pidge says "So that be a unicorn! He is very beautiful" Allura asks "How do you know he's a unicorn?" Pidge replies "No cat out of its first fur can ever be decieved by appearnaces unlike human beings who seem to enjoy it"

Allura carries Pidge to her bed as Pidge explains "You have very little time. Soon, there'll be a human boy in that body and no unicorn at all ever again. It may be that he'll marry the good prince who loves him" Allura gasps "No, that can't be! He is the last" Pidge says "Well then, he must do what he came to do. He must take Lotor's way down to the Red Lion" Allura asks "Is there a way? Tell me the way! Tell me where we must go" Pidge replies "Listen closely, when the wine drinks itself, when the skull speaks, when the clock strikes the right time only then will you find the tunnel what leads to the Red Lion's lair. There be a trick to it, of course" Allura asks "Why won't you help me? Why must you always speak in riddles?"

Pidge replies "Because I be what I be. I would tell you what you want to know if I could but I am a cat and no cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer" Lotor watches Romelle perform her magic tricks hour after hour until she gets tired but when she says "I need a break" Lotor commands "You will do as I say! Now make me happy" Romelle continues until she enters the kitchen and sighs "I can't do this very much longer. He had me juggling teacups all night long. Teacups! With tea in them" Allura explains "Romelle, I didn't tell you. I found the skull, the one Pidge was talking about. It's up on a pillar in the great hall and the clock" Romelle interrupts "Allura, he knows. Prince Lotor knows what Lord Lance is, I'm sure of it" Allura asks "What can we do?"

Keith arrives and says "Allura, I've practically got the whole poem now if you wanted to look at it" Allura says "Oh yes, of course, Your Highness. Whenever you like" meanwhile, Lance is sleeping in the guest bedroom dreaming of a unicorn, a witch and an oni until he woke up frightened and hears a voice saying "The lift of longing, the crash of loss, the bitterness of cross? Boss? Moss? Damn" Lance walks out of his bedroom and sees Keith who says "Good evening, My Lord" Lance asks "Who are you?" Keith replies "I'm Keith. Don't you know me?" Lance gasps "Keith? Prince Keith?" Keith notices Lance in his nightgown and says "You were dreaming, My Lord" Lance says "But I'm always dreaming even when I'm awake. It is never finished. I will not trouble you, My Lord Prince"

Keith scoffs "No, trouble me. Please trouble me. I would court you with more grace if I knew how. I wish you wanted something of me" Lance begs "Drown out my dreams. Keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it" Keith and Lance talk about each other and the more Lance got to know Keith, the more he instantly fell in love with him and even though Keith couldn't write books or poems about Lance much less sing a song for him, Keith fell in love with him anyway and as Lance asks "Are you sure nothing you do will satisfy me?" Keith replies "I love you, Lance. That's all I've got to say" Lance smiles and says "Now I know the way" and under the moonlight, they share their first kiss

Meanwhile, Romelle is in the great hall grumbling "Just what I need. Riddles. When the wine drinks itself, when the skull speaks, when the clock strikes the right time as if I didn't have enough troubles. I wonder what time it is" Romelle hears someone coming, hides behind the clock and sees Keith and Lance as Keith says "Well, of course you're of noble birth. Anybody can see that. I mean you can't really be a sorceress's nephew, it's out of the question" they walk away as Romelle worries for Lance and what will become of him if he remains human and no longer a unicorn
