Ampelus (Psyche) knocks on the door and tells Eros that Aphrodite has a big job for them in the Mortal Realm. Eros steps out in only a towel, flustering her. Eros sees the really long, double-sided list and stomps towards Aphrodite, who motions to Ares and asks him to explain to his son what happened. Ares says he unplugged the fax machine to use the popcorn maker.
He is not sorry.
Eros pulls his mother to the side to speak with her alone and asks if he could at least get a hint on Psyche’s whereabouts. Aphrodite simply tells him that he is close. He cries that she is so frustrating.
Meanwhile, Daphne arrives home after her morning run. Echo is seen working on her laptop. She asks how was her visit to the Underworld, to which Daphne replies it was “interesting” and that Demeter would lose it if she finds out where Persephone has been all this time. She admits to being homesick though, so she wants to visit the Mortal Realm.

She invites Echo to go with her but Echo declines, saying that she is working on a “special project” for Hera, who has been feeling down since the incident. She’s working on getting both her sons, Ares and Hephaestus, to visit her and cheer her up. She is working on tracking down Hephaestus. Daphne comments that it sounds messy and tells her to be careful.
Thanatos appears at the doorway and asks Daphne how was her run. Thanatos says that he thinks running is the most boring ever. Daphne replies that if he went running with her, he wouldn’t be bored. They are planning on going to the Mortal Realm together; Thanatos has a bunch of souls he has to pick up, so he says he’ll drop her off and pick her up at the end of the day.

On the other side of Olympus, Hermes is channeling his frustrations on the piano. He thinks back on his conversation with Artemis, about how something happened between Apollo and Persephone that she can’t quite figure out. Hermes admits that there have been little things which he overlooked at the beginning, but all together, they don’t paint a pretty picture.
Apollo arrives home and tells him to stop murdering his piano. He tells Apollo that Artemis dropped by and that she was upset and that Apollo needs to talk with her himself. Apollo says he’ll go to Artemis right now and Hermes tells him that Artemis is currently in the Mortal Realm.

Three gods, one nymph, and one mortal woman all went to the Mortal Realm on three separate journeys. One of them will not return to Olympus.
