Chaos reigns in the diner. Beppi is mid-pour when Djimmi, with a sly grin, unleashes a telekinetic burst that makes the pancakes explode, smearing the clown's face with batter and syrup. At a nearby table, Werner shouts about German superiority, and Sally yells at him to stop. He barks back in furious German. Cagney dances alone to a brassy tune only he hears, loudly declaring he has no need for friends. Cala Maria boasts about a new aquatic summon, and Goopy tells her to shut up—her dad walked out, didn't he? Hilda's manic laughter cuts through the noise, Ollie wails into his hands, and Chauncey rubs his third eye wearily, ordering the boy to be quiet.
