Pongo grows closer to the snake for his tail, chasing it around in the park as Garrett throws up from having shadow traveled with Jordan. Pongo is then brought to Madame Ixchel's in Jordan and Garrett's attempt to find answers and formulate a plan. Pongo immediately tries to sleep on Ixchel's rug as the trio converse and devise a plan. When Garrett is attacked by Jordan for being sassy, Pongo jumps to Garrett's rescue and tackles Jordan.
