Synopsis
At the Warp Fleet Station of the Ark of Knowledge Khun Aguero Agnis has brought with him Rak Wraithraiser on the infiltration mission. That Khun chose Rak makes him happy, so he promotes him to his left-hand man, making him third in the hierarchy of Team Baam. Po Bidau Tiara and Po Bidau Matte Ha joins them at the warp fleet station, with Tiara claiming that she has not traveled anywhere in ages and that she is excited for the trip, while putting on a fake smile. Rak feels a dangerous feeling from Tiara, which Khun is amazed at, as he considers Rak's instincts to worn out, but this just underlines how dangerous Tiara actually is. Khun is worried that they are only bringing two rankers to a place where the Lo Po Bia Family Head is, but questions how they will enter the Lo Po Bia Family Mothership. Tiara reveals that the Portal they will use has already arrived at the enemy's mothership, which surprises Khun.

In a Hanger at the Lo Po bia Mothership the Po Bidau ship used by Lo Po Bia Holan to return from the Ark of Knowledge is seen, with Lo Po Bia Keruru giving a status report about Holan's situation. Keruru describes that they received a distress signal from Holan's ship, which lead them to bring them to the Mothership. Their investigation revealed that Lo Po Bia Pudidy and Lo Po Bia Perseus died, while Lo Po Bia Meyer and Lo Po Bia Candidi are in critical condition, and Holan is has been mentally unstable since his return. Holan is seen with a murderous aura telling himself that he will kill all Po Bidau Family members. Back in the hangar, some Lo Po Bia engineers are examining the ship from the Po Bidau family, claiming that the Po Bidau family read too much and is too distant from the real world, since there is not reason for them give away one of their ships, especially one that seem full of cutting edge technology. The reason for Po Bidau family giving away the ship is then shown, as the ship turn into the portal that Tiara described earlier. Prior to the warp to the Lo Po Bia Mothership, Tiara is visibly excited by the prospect of murder, muttering to herself that she looks forward to seeing red flowers blooming from so many bodies.

In the Viridis Parus Hotel Androssi Zahard and Lo Po Bia Lilial Zahard are bickering with each other, before Lo Po Bia Zamzam disrupts them to do an announcement. In relation to the Marriage Tournament the Lo Po Bia Family Head has arranged a challange to prove they are worthy to participate, where an intruder will attack them and it is their mission to survive until the light ball turns on again (Dawn). Baam and Androssi goes to Baam's room together, where Baam explains the situation with the marriage tournament to Androssi. Androssi does believe him and yells at him, which catches the attention of Hemus Lime, who has followed them and is outside the room. Lilial gathered Flipa, Hwingya Epo, Ilnak Ropal, Lo Po Bia Keoyeop, and Lo Po Bia Merr in a conference room, where she asks them whether they genuinely want to marry Baam, but they are all there for ulterior reasons. Ilnak asks why Lilial is taking part, as it is perceived by the others that she wants to get married, but she refuses this perception saying that she is only doing it because the Family leader told her to. The discussion is cut short by some loud rumbling, which causes even Lo Po Bia Ren to react in his room, as it is something powerful outside. Lilial goes towards the window to investigate what is happening outside, but only sees a large amount of snakes covering the window. There is a large boom coming from the bathroom, which leads Lilial to investigate again. Inside the bathroom, Roku is faced with the intruder called The Serpent Master, who asks where Lo Po Bia Laura is, and if he does not get an answer he will kill them all.
