Browntail
A pair of the Browntail family, Yucatan and Sciurus are going to Victoria to negotiate about partnership in Kjerag. Sciurus' sister, the current matriarch of the family, Ratatos once told her that she needs to go out of Kjerag to broaden her knowledge. The negotiation went poorly with the Victorian merchant demanding unfair shares and to make matters worse the Victorian high society mocked them and their homeland. Sciurus rushed off outside to vent her anger until Yucatan calmed her down. Rus then talked about how everything in Victoria looks magnificent and new to her. She aspires Kjerag to be as advanced as them and even wonders if her sister was inspired by Enciodes Silverash's years in Victoria and his ambition that he nurtured there. She even wonders if the reason why Ratatosk asked her to go all the way to Victoria was because of the events that transpired. However, in the middle of the talk between them, the merchant's mansion is suddenly vandalized by a Victorian noble's soldiers. It was later revealed that the merchant had shady dealings with the noble including the fact that he used the money he embezzled from their partnership to built the mansion they're currently in. However, Sciurus and Yucatan secretly knocked the nobleman's goons out until one of them tipped the nobleman and he decided to retreat. Using this as the leverage, the Browntail pair then asked to "re-negotiate" their deals.

However, as he has recieved letters from Parasol Pharmaceuticals detailing how they'll bail him out provided he avoids making trouble in jail, Jesselton quietly endures everything thrown his way, including verbal harassment by the wardens, toilet duty, having wastewater poured on him, and being attacked by the other prisoners. However, although the other prisoners constantly attempt to pick fights with him, his ferromagnetic Arts render then unable to physically harm him even when he refuses to fight back.
During his time in prison, Jesselton also "befriended" numerous inmates in order to try and manipulate them, the latest one being a man named Rick. This time, he learns how to copy his wife Patty's handwriting and forges a letter falsely claiming that his wife has married another man during his stay. Although the ruse has holes, Rick ultimately believes him, but before Jesselton can convince him to become his ally in seeking money and power, the guards notify Rick that his wife has posted bail for him, ruining Jesselton's plans. As the guards reveal they intentionally withheld this information by a week to watch Jesselton's struggle, he is nearly enraged to violence, but manages to maintain his composure. Later, he writes another letter to Parasol Pharmaceuticals imploring them to rescue him, even going so far as to reluctantly address himself as "their humblest servant."

As two men at a bar have a laugh about the show, one of them asks about the chances that Jesselton isn't an actor and that the story is actually real, to which his friend dismisses his musing as a joke.
