Thanks to Teresa: Francine, Emmet and Seth helped stop the fight between Simon and Nora. Now they're all at the police station, all six of them sitting silently.

"Lemme go get something real quick!" Emmet says as he rushes off. Which now left the five to continue to sit awkwardly.

"So ca-" Francine was about to speak but then Emmet came back busting in with one of those lie detector game things. "I- why do we even need that-?" Everyone else smacks their forehead while Simon whacks his head onto the table hoping this was all a dream. It wasn't.

"To see if they're lying or not?" Emmet does a sassy eye roll. "Plus, it even beeps and shocks you if you lie!" 

"I mean- is it even that accurate?" Teresa asks, continuing Emmet's sassy eye roll chain.

"Well, according to Google, it's 98% accurate!"

"Well, according to Google, it's 98% accurate!"

"Well, at least let's give it a shot." Seth shrugs.

Emmet placed Nora's hand on the lie detector and fastened the strap on tight. 

"Okay," Francine finally speaks up after Emmet puts the detector on Nora. "so did you really wanted this all to happen?"

"Well, yes and no." The whole squad waited for a beep. No, no beep yet.

"What do you mean by yes and no? Can you elaborate on the more?"

"I wanted only one person to become petrified, but decided to sort of turn it into a game of Team Factor so it wouldn't be so obvious it was me." Nora shrugs then stares at Emmet. And Emmet was staring right back at Nora. His anger started to boil up again, but he didn't know what to say at first. So he said the first thing that came from his mind.

"So you were the one who was smiling in my dream?" Everyone looked at him confused. "And you took The Book of Numberhumans because you knew that I was gonna need it. You didn't take it to 'make the gifts for the people who become petrified and the others'. You took it because you knew that I'm gonna need it. My sister turned into stone because of you!" Emmet yelled that out in one breath, the others were still confused. Nora, who understood what Emmet was saying, was about to smirk but then- realized it would just make the situation worse. "Why?"

"Well what's the point of telling you if you won't understand how I feel?" Now Emmet and Nora was doing a staring contest leaving Simon, Francine and Teresa still confused.

"Let's just walk out of the room for now-" Teresa stood up and moonwalked out of the room. Simon and Francine fellow Teresa behind.

"Why?" Emmet repeats again.

"Because I was bored- Ow!" the lie detector beeps and shocks Nora. Emmet smirks. "FINE! It's because I despise you very much, I'd like to see you still as a stone." They both waited for a beep. Nope, no beep. "But I think I should really keep the rest in."

"Fair enough. But now that we know you did it, shouldn't everyone not become stone anymore?"

"Sure."

"But why do you despise me so much?" 

"Oh my gosh! Can this end?!" Nora now irritated and smacks her head on the table.

"No."

"Look! If you really don't want to be hurt mentally, it's better to not ask! This is one of the reasons why I hate you! I hate you! Literally hate you! Can we just stop please before I say more?!" 

"Fine." Emmet didn't seem to look like he took it seriously, but he knew Nora meant it, so he did stop. He didn't want to know anymore.

After a few more awkward moments, Emmet and Nora came out of the room. Nora still had the detector on her hands, Emmet must've strapped it on too tight.

"Let's go to the What-Iffer now, shall we?"
