Plot
Edward Mordrake's emerald mist flows acrodd the grounds into Suzy's and Paul's tents. He finds Salty and Pepper play-fighting on the stage. Each tells a story. Suzi's legs were taken at age two, and she was abandoned by her parents at a children's home; she killed a fellow beggar on the streets. Paul arrived during the Depression, and got tattoos to intimidate oncoming attackers. He finds no shame with the playful Pepper and Salty. None of them are his choice.
He arrives in Elsa's tent, and she admonishes him for his leaving her performance before it was done. He waits patiently for her to show her deformed legs, though she is intent on talking about her talent. She has mistaken him for a talent manager. His compatriots hold her to her bed and rip off her prosthetics. He bids her to tell him all about "her darkest hour" while she cries.
Jimmy and Maggie stall the motorcycle on a backroad. He is eager to get off the road during the curfew, but she argues that he has bad intentions towards her. Hearing a car, they hide in the woods.
Mike, the new captive in the bus asks if he is going to die. Bonnie laments that Corey is getting weak, since Twisty doesn't feed them. She quickly describes their situation, and has him rety her bonds when Twisty arrives. When Twisty enters the coop, she rushes past him for an escape. Jimmy and Maggie observe the escape, thwarted when Twisty tackles and retakes the girl. Jimmy follows to try and help over Maggie's protests.
Elsa tells Mordrake about the sex club she used to work in in 1932 Weimar as a Minette (dominatrix). One of her clients is instructed to sit on a nail spiked toilet seat. She drew a crowd of observers for her depraved dominations. Mordrake insists on hearing about her legs.
Jimmy and Maggie track Twisty and the unconscious Bonnie to the bus, where they are discovered by the costumed Dandy.
