As Tina walk in the cave, "Merlyn, the book." she calls out.

"Do you really think you can fool me, Tina?" Merlyn asked, "Where's Hana?!"

"Far away from you..." Tina snarls.

Merlyn ignored Tina and flipped the book cover open, "What?" He then grabs Tina by the neck, "Where is my book?!"

Tina gags, "I... I... can't b- bre- breathe." she spouts out as she starts to choke.

Merlyn threw Tina against the wall of the cave, then out of nowhere Old Lace shows up. Tina sighs as she sees Gert, Chase, Molly, and Nico in front of her and Old Lace headbutts Merlyn rendering him unconscious.

Nico looks at her mother, "Come on, Hana needs us."

As they got out of the cave, Chase drove them to the Griffith Observatory. "Why is this place empty?" Gert looks around, "This place should be crawling with naive tourist getting overcharge for food."

"Upstairs..." Chase stated, "Got a text from Alex."

Nico shock, "Alex texted you before me?"

"Really Nico?" Gert asked, "Now?"

"You're right." Nico sighs, "Hana. Let's go..."

As they all run into the planetarium, they saw Hana and Dale sitting on the floor in the center of a freshly sketch pentagon on the floor.

Dale sighs as he read the book, "I don't understand these words!"

Hana sighs and looks up, "Molly?"

Molly steps closer but Stacey pulls her back, just as the pentagram lines emited green smoke. Molly looks at the wall, β. Molly gasped in realization, "Only two people can enter at a time..."

Dale sighs and nods, as he steps out; and Molly walks in. "Okay..." Molly sat down, "what do you need?"

Hana responds, "Can you please read that?"

Molly looks at Hana, "But you're the smartest one here, you can definitely read in all languages."

Hana breathes, "Being smart is knowing when you need help and asking for it."

"Okay." Molly starts to read the Spanish passage then pauses, "The rest are in Tagalog..."

Guita calls out, "I got this... Molly."

Molly looks at Hana and nodded; as she runs to meet Guita.

Guita begun to read the last page, when Hana stood up, "You've got to be kidding me." Hana took off her ribbon turning it into a staff but unlike the Staff of One, Hana's staff was coated with flames and as Hana grasps its stand the flames turned into ash. Hana clears her throat, "Lapis in gladio!"

Guita sighs, as her stomach growled. "I'm starving…"

Hana turns to get friend, "Later, we'll get tacos."
