Hades:The Horsemen are aware of how deeply involved they have to be in stopping the apocalypse.
Remi:But are they good witches or bad witches? Personally, I wouldn’t mind if they were sandwiches. Mmm, we do love a sandwich.
Remi elbows Asher and winks.
Hades:They aren’t witches at all, you twit.
Remi:It’s called a sense of humor. I think you need to get one.
Hades:I can’t say that I find much amusing about the world ending.
Remi:I’m just saying, if ever there was a time to laugh, it’s now. Humor heals, my friend. It’s how humanity copes with the darkness. We’re just one boiling sea away from extinction.
Asher:Allow me to get us back on track.What he was trying to ask you was, are they on our side or not?
Hades:As far as I can tell, they aren’t working for Lucifer.
Asher:That doesn’t mean they’re working with us.
Hades:They’ve always maintained neutrality.
Remi:Which means what, exactly?
Hades shrugs.
Hades:It meansI’m as confident as I can be that this time they’re going to help us.
Remi dramatically swoons on the couch.

Remi:*swoony sigh*Thank God. Okay, but real talk, how hot are these guys? I need to prepare.
Asher:You know, Rem, a less secure guy would take offense at the way you blatantly ogle other men.
Remi:Aw, baby. You know you’re the only guy for me. It’s you and Rosie. The rest is just window shopping.
All three men look away from the camera and toward the door.

Rosie: (off camera)They’ll be out in just a moment.
Lilith: (off camera)This can’t wait.

Lilith and Crombie walk on screen, an apologetic Rosie trailing behind them.
Hades:Lilith? What are you and Crombie doing here?
Asher:More importantly, how did you find us?
Remi:See! This is why you can’t talk about fight club.
Lilith rolls her eyes and grabs Rosie’s arm to hold it up and show off the red demon mark on her forearm.
