Aired on June 8, 2006
Thor and Zagi prepare to depart for Hecate to advance their plan. However, Karim is murdered in an alley. Thor, believing Zagi killed her because he heard her calling Zagi's name just before she died, challenges Zagi. He eventually defeats Zagi, badly wounding him. Before falling unconscious, Zagi tells Thor that he did not kill Karim and warns him to watch out for "that one." After Chen promises to treat Zagi's wounds, Thor goes to kiss Karim's body goodbye, then leaves for the Dagger Pagoda with Tiz and Third.
