- Just as Lovewit's getting ready to break his door down, Jeremy shows up with his newly shaven face.
- Lovewit wants to know what in the name of the philosopher's stone has going on.
- Jeremy/Face tells him that he's been away the whole time because Lovewit's cat caught the plague and he had to have the house shut up for safety reasons.
- He adds that the neighbors are crazy if they think they've seen anyone go in or out of the house in the last month.
- Just as Jeremy/Face has everyone convinced that he's a "very honest fellow," Surly and Mammon roll up to the house.
- Uh-oh.
