As Giuseppe continued to get carried away with his sharp kicks to Sebastian, he zoned out. Elena's movement went unnoticed even by Sebastian who was occupied with the pain he was receiving.

Elena used the knife and swiped the back of Giuseppe's neck. She screamed as she backed away in fear upon his realisation of her freedom by turning around to face her. He squinted at her with disbelief and held his bloodied neck as he trotted forward. Elena squealed once again, securing her blade with both hands.

As Giuseppe closed in, she thrusted the knife and pierced his stomach. She took it back quickly and screamed even louder as blood seeped through his shirt.

Anyone could see that Giuseppe was in a concentrated daze, he refused to back down and approached Elena one last time. Her blade lunged towards his shoulder and came out seconds later, damp and more bloody than previous.

Giuseppe weakly fell to the ground and Elena dashed around him to Sebastian who'd been bruised but was in no worse state than Giuseppe. Elena dropped her knife as she knelt down and placed Sebastian's face between her stained hands. Sebastian's arms swept around and hugged her tightly, slowing her panicked breaths.

Donatello focussed on his breathing as his only task now was to stay alive. Ramona slowly came closer despite Catalina begging for her to leave them alone. Ramona ignored the pleas and stole her knife back from Claudio. "Something more personal for you, because a gun would be an easy way out. Something to teach you a lesson, because you don't mess with family." Ramona recited as she crept over to Donatello.

Donatello wanted to hold his shoulder, but couldn't because of his bound arms, it also proved difficult for him to crawl away from Ramona, so he now placed little effort into trying to stay alive. Ramona took slow yet powerful steps towards him, but none more powerful than the swift tackle she received from Carolina. Catalina looked up in shock. "How?"

Lancelot ran forward and gripped Ramona's arm, his fingers went up and tried to open her hand in order to steal the knife. "Seeing that Lacey and Zinnia had things handled, I wanted to catch up with Seb. Then I heard the French fashion dude screaming down the street about Carolina- I knew I needed to help out." Lancelot struggled to retrieve the knife as Ramona refused to go down without a fight.

Carolina, still sat on Ramona's back, clasped Ramona's arm in her hands, allowing Lancelot to slide the knife from between her fingers. Lancelot jumped over and untied Catalina by using the knife to slice the rope. "Don't worry about it, don't worry about me, help Donatello." Catalina advised.

The moment the last thread separated, Lancelot dashed to Donatello's aid. He used the same knife to untie Donatello's arms and tear off the clothes that covered his wound. "You're gonna be alright, buddy, you're gonna be fine." Lancelot promised Donatello as he threw his backpack down beside him.

As Carolina watched anxiously, Ramona elbowed her gut and slid out from underneath Carolina. Carolina jumped to her feet and kicked Ramona as she crawled to steal back the gun she'd discarded earlier. Catalina caught wind of this and scooped the gun up in her hands. Carolina met with Catalina and took the gun out of her hands as Ramona crawled to catch up.

Carolina pressed the gun against Ramona's forehead, Ramona stopped crawling and remained still. Her eyes looked up at Carolina, pleadingly, but Carolina knew what she had to do. Putting Ramona in jail would be counterproductive as Ramona had previously proved that she could easily evade or escape capture.

Carolina moved her finger back to pull the trigger, looking away as Ramona dropped to the floor. Catalina covered her mouth, she thought after seeing Claudio harmed she'd get used to it, but she was wrong, it still shook her. Carolina gently wrapped Ramona's fingers around the weapon before dropping her hand back, posing the scene as a suicide.
