• Captain Rabbit mourned the fallen Barry and asked whether they could return his remains, while Su Ming had Strangle take the orb and offered Jesse the corpse’s uniform; Jesse refused.

Su Ming and the others discovered that the Seven-Colored Light Orb could not be carried out of the room because it was bound by a spacetime effect. Su Ming used the Felcloth Bag to break that connection, and Jesse then struck the orb with Speed Force lightning to activate it.
