- Alek finds Dylan in the machine room and asks to see Dr. Barlow, who isn't there.
- Alek and Dylan bicker (again) about which is better: beasts or machines.
- When Dr. Barlow returns, she is furious about the whole landing-in-France plan because she wants to complete her mission to the Ottoman Empire.
- Alek tells Dr. Barlow and Dylan his plan of using the walker's engines on the Leviathan.
- Dr. Barlow sees a ray of hope. She also sees exactly who Alek is—but she confronts him in a nice way, agrees to keep his secret for now, and goes to tell the captain about the engines.
