Synopsis
Police beat off the attack at the ballpark, but thousands of people are possessed by the Hell Ditch Pilgrim. The Rumor explains that only Robyn Slinger can confront and cure the Pilgrim, for her Toybox is Pandora's box, and with it she can give him hope. Cindercott demands that the police rally to protect the mayor, the supreme figure of authority, but the police ignore him so as to protect the citizens at large. Robyn's intervention is successful, although the mayor and Cindercott are destroyed in the chaos. Kemlo becomes the new chief, and the adventure ends as it began, with a picnic.
