The episode opens with a shot of the exterior of Stolas's mansion at night, before cutting to the master bedroom where Stolas and Stella are asleep. A young Octavia's frightened voice can be heard from offscreen
YOUNG OCTAVIA (OFFSCREEN): Mummy! Daddyyyy!
Stolas is roused from his sleep. He turns to Stella who has most of the blanket.
STOLAS (SLEEPILY): Mmph. Via's calling us, Stella.
STELLA (SLEEPILY; ANNOYED): You get up.
Stolas sighs and gets out of bed. He enters Octavia's room, where she is hiding beneath her blankets.
STOLAS: Via? What troubles you, my owlet?
YOUNG OCTAVIA (SOBBING): Daddy! Daddy!
Young Octavia climbs down from her bed and runs into her father's arms. Stolas hoists her up to comfort her.
YOUNG OCTAVIA: I had a dream! A really bad dream!
Stolas yawns and wipes away Octavia's tears, correcting her.!
STOLAS: A nightmare.
YOUNG OCTAVIA (SOBBING): I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!
Stolas rubs Octavia on the back comfortingly.
STOLAS: There there, Via, it's okay. You're okay.
Stolas summons his grimoire to him telekinetically as he walks Octavia back to bed.
STOLAS: When you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember...
Stolas' grimoire floats over to him. He telekinetically flips it open.
STOLAS: No matter what happens to me, I will never be far away... from my special little Starfire.
His lullaby finished and Stolas left as his young daughter settled to sleep, content.
Cut to several years later, where a teenage Octavia is jolted awake by smashing objects and her parents screaming at each other, far less content.
