The chapter opens with a flashback to the previous chapter, in which we learn that the queen and her right-hand man, commissar noir, tricked the agents to leave the aerie so that they could invade it. The agents are startled to see the queen's hand man, and they run across her. They hide in the closet, hoping that the sign "keep out" will keep the queen away, but she finds a talking mirror and an egg of improbibility. The two argue about whether or not they should all be friens, and she is separated from the others. She is taken as a prisoner to return to iron city, and the young agents find a starflower rocket crawling with the commissars. The young agents destroy it, but not before boo and Asano return home with their animals.
