"Something's wrong with Pandora." a concerned Jemma says as she enters Hermes' classroom.

"Excuse me?" Hermes asked with a somewhat amused concern.

"She's... different. I think something's happened to her." Jemma suggests.

"And?" responds Hermes.

"And we have to do something about it." says Jemma.

"We ARE doing something about it. This is all part of the plan." Hermes says.

"It is?" questions Jemma, "How?"

There's a bit of a smile on Hermes as he speaks, "I told you, she has to learn there are consequences to her actions."

Jemma watches Hermes for a second, "This is one of the consequences?"

Hermes smiles at Jemma, "I knew you were smart." he says somewhat half-jokingly, "If you interfere with what's happening, you'll give her an out. She won't learn the lesson she has to learn."

"You want me to stay out of it? But..." Jemma tries before being interrupted.

"Do you want this to keep happening to people or not?" Hermes says with a more serious tone.

It makes Jemma watch him for a few moments, "No..."

"Then you need to let things play out." insists Hermes, "Are we on the same page?"

Again it takes Jemma a while to answer, "Yes."

"Good, then I'll see you in my class later." says Hermes.

A long silence follows as Jemma and Hermes look at each other. Eventually, Jemma relents and leaves the class. Hermes can't help but smile.

"What is going on with you Dora?" a concerned yet angry Jove asks his daughter.

Pandora scoffs at her father from her somewhat defiant yet relaxed sitting position across from him in his office, "What?"

"You lead a class revolt?" questions Jove.

"And?" a cynical sounding question in response by Pandora.

"Has a new spirit emerged? Is this part of getting in with them?" inquires Jove.

That makes Pandora frown, "Why does that have to be the reason?"

"I'm sorry?" Jove wonders, his confusion not lessening.

"Why does it have to be a possession thing? Can't I just be fed up?" questions Pandora, "Why does everything have to come back to the fact that I opened The Box? Why is everything my fault?"

Jove watches his daughter for a few long moments, "You know why Dora. We've talked about this. I thought you'd come to terms with it."

"Well... I haven't. I'm tired of living this way. I can't live with the guilt that everything wrong that happens in this school is my fault. So I'm going to fix that." Pandora declares before reaching into her bag and pulling out The Box and slamming it down on Jove's desk, "I'm going to fix this school so that no one ever manifests ever again."

Jove tries to interject as Pandora gets up from her seat and starts leaving, "That's not how it... Dora, stop."

That makes Pandora stop and turn to her father, though not move from halfway out the door.

Jove picks up The Box and holds it out as if to hand it back to her, "You forgot this."

Pandora looks at The Box in her father's hand, "I didn't forget. That thing has made my whole life a living hell since you and Mom forced it on me. It's torn this school apart. If I'm going to fix it, I can't use that to do it."

Pandora leaves Jove alone in his office. After a few moments, The Box begins to glow a black light. Jove immediately puts it down on his desk and looks at it intently.

"It can't be."
