A few weeks have passed since the battle. The team, though still heartbroken about Tyler, have had time to grieve him. They are now having a meeting in the living room, as per usual.

Josh: So, we defeated Nico.

Adam: Mhm.

Ryry: Wait. Hold up. We defeated Nico. Team Awesome's whole thing was fighting Nico. Does no more Nico mean... no more Team Awesome?

Tessa: I suppose it does. I'm going to miss this, though. There's something about Team Awesome.... The sense of community. It's like... She pauses to search for the right words. It's like a family.

Robbie: That's exactly what it is. A found family. A big, dysfunctional, found family. What are y'all going to do once the team breaks up for good?

Ryry: Keep making music with my brothers, for sure.

Taylor: I'm gonna keep making music, too. Music is my passion. And you better believe Team Awesome is gonna be the theme of my next album.

Tessa: Really? Oh my gosh. Can I collab on a song with you?

Taylor: Of course. All of you can, if you want.

Alba: I'm going to keep pursuing my medical studies. My experience on the field as a Team Awesome healer has helped a great deal.

Gracie: I'm not going anywhere. I am staying on this ranch.

Remington: Then so are my brothers and Kaylen and Brendon and I. You're a part of our coven now, Gracie.

Gracie: Coven? I've never been part of a coven before, but then I haven't been a vampire that long. I'm excited to do coven stuff with y'all. But I do also have to run the ranch, which might be difficult as a vampire. Knight Ranch now has two meanings, I suppose.

Awsten: I'll lend a hand. I'm sure Tessa will too.

Gracie: Tessa? On the ranch? I'd like to see that.

Everyone laughs.

Tessa: I will, I will. Ranch life isn't what I'm used to, but I'm a Knight now, even if by platonic marriage. Anyway, I suggest those of you who are leaving go pack.

Jack is the first to get up. The moment he opens his door you hear, from off-camera, the sound of birds in flight followed by a high-pitched scream. Jack re-enters the room, dissheveled and covered in feathers.

Jack: Who the heck put a bunch of live pigeons in my room???? Conan, I bet it was you. You're the bird whisperer.

Conan: What? No. I can only talk to crows, not pigeons. Besides, I wouldn't talk to pigeons if I could. I don't trust pigeons. They're basically rats with wings.

Jack: Rats with wings? No. That's offensive to rats. But we're not talking about rats, we're talking about pigeons. Live pigeons! In my room! Who is responsible for this?

Robbie: That would be Tessa. He instantly regrets saying that.

Tessa: Way to snitch on me, Robbie.

Jack: YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, TESSA!

Tessa: I guess I better skedaddle now.

Exit Tessa, pursued by Jack. End of episode. Roll credits.
