Although Eureka still doesn't understand the meaning of friends, she is grateful. She notes that Eureka has changed from the person she used to be, and admits that she always wanted to be friends with her. Gidget visits Eureka and brings her some candy and change of clothes. He finds himself holding hands with her and Charles introduces her as his wife, much to the boy's embarrassment.

The rave breaks up as scubs erupt from the ground, and Ray saves Renton from being speared. He spots the wheel on Renton's board that gives him a pause as he realises it's the wheel of the Gekkostate before an earthquake occurs causing Charles to run to Ray. Renton notices the beat of the music has changed, and Charles shows himself to be an authority on the latest mixing techniques. Charles points to Ray on stage and asks if he's falling for her, and falling for Ray is a game they all can play. Charles says he's heard Renton's name before, but the boy doesn't reveal his surname. Charles compliments Renton's board and takes Renton's explaination to be mere burning with the flame of youth. Charles seems interested in the boy and asks him about his story, and he admitts that he's been traveling around with nothing but his board and no where to go. Ray and Charles are up and dance on the stage, and Renton decides to temporarily forget his feelings and give into the fun. After another day of aimless wondering, Renton sleeps at a park, and when he wakes up, he finds himself in the middle of a street rave.

Hap asks Holland when is he going to tell Eureka about Renton leaving, but Holland doesn't know and doesn't want to. Renton wonders around for a couple of days, and his backpack ends up getting stolen by a homeless man while he sleeps at a bus stop. They wonder what Holland is thinking about, but when he looks into Renton's empty room, he doesn't seem concerned or interested. Mischa chalks it up to adolescent rebellion but Hilda says all the guys are going through it. Hilda and Mischa talk about Renton leaving without telling anyone. After concluding that Eureka has mentally recovered, Mischa lets the kids see Eureka, and they give her presents and tell her how much they missed her.


Gidget is admiring the pretty clouds, but Talho growls that they probably mean they're going to have an earthquake, and Gidget should know that. They take him aboard their ship, the Swan after seeing how they live, compared to his former life on the Gekko, he decides to stay. Eventually, Renton winds up in the city, where he meets Charles and Ray Beams. Renton wanders aimlessly after having left the Gekko, while the members of Gekkostate discuss his departure and how to tell Eureka.
