Jelani and Ulysses give the team a week off. Jelani immediately heads home, needing a break from everything that happened in Korea. She puts her new dragon eggs on the mantle with the marble one that her mother gave her when she was 10. She takes a quick shower before pulling on a red plaid onesie she brought while in Korea. The kitchen light turns on as she walks in. Grabbing a K-Cup, she pops one into the machine before putting a black mug that says "Queen of the Dragons" on the platform of the Keurig. Jelani pops a cup of noodles in the microwave as she sits. Her thoughts drift to her blowing fire in Korea. Was it a freak accident? A one-time thing?

"I should just hatch one," she mumbles as she locks her phone, throwing it to the side as she grabs her noodles, eating them slowly. She looks out the window and sees it has begun to rain. A mighty roll of thunder roars and Jelani hears something drop. She pulls a gun from the coffee table and slowly makes her way through the house. She reaches the office/den with the fireplace. The blue and green egg lays on the floor. A sigh of relief leaves her as she goes to put her gun away. Returning to the den, she picks the egg up and notices the small crack. "Aww, you have a small crack." She puts the egg back on its stand and makes sure it's secure. "There. Stay put. Why am I talking to an egg?"

T'Challa looks up Ulysses Klaue's file and looks to see if it mentions him having a child. He clicks on the first name "Regina" attached with him. It reveals the picture of a woman with rich brown skin, black locs, dark brown eyes that hold a twinkle in them, and plump lips. He read the description next to it. "Regina Klaue, wife of Ulysses Klaue. Mother of Jelani Klaue." He clicks on "Jelani Klaue" and blinks as the picture of the woman from the Casino comes up. The 3-D full image of her is in a black catsuit with boots. He reads the synopsis of her.
