Inside the sewers of Little Brook, Peter shone his lighter around to assure that no creature swam in it. Meanwhile, Jack and Michael talked to Ariel. The attack in the sewers has made her hair loose, which revealed orange and pink strands.

Ariel gave a quizzical look at Michael for the last suggestion.
"I..." Ariel sighed. "I can hide my infected form," she said.
