Back at the Guardians of the Globe headquarters, Monster Girl finally uses the exoskeleton that Rudy has been pushing for so that she doesn’t have to transform all the time, thereby putting a stop to her deaging. Monster Girl isn’t happy with the controls and gets angry at Rudy. Bulletproof, while observing all of this from afar, tells Black Samson that the Guardians of the Globe aren’t fit for the job of protecting Earth (thereby foreshadowing the Viltrumite agenda). They are too scattered, too broken, and too unmotivated to save the planet from anything. Black Samson tries to talk about how they are a family despite their imperfections, but he is forced to eat his words as Immortal announces that he is quitting the team because he is not in a good headspace. Cecil says that he will allow him to take a temporary break, but that’s about it. In the meantime, Rudy is going to be the leader of the Guardians. We briefly see Rick suffering from a nightmare where he is being tortured by Sinclair before returning to the Guardians HQ, where Donald is seen having a conversation with Cecil about his resignation. His main issue is that he is having an identity crisis. So, to solve that, Cecil sits Donald in front of a computer and lets him see all the times he has been killed in action and then rebuilt. Cecil tells Donald that an earlier version of him put it in his clause that his memories should be erased after every reset. Now, it’s clear that Cecil isn’t doing this because he wants to. Donald wants this job, and that’s why Cecil is allowing him to turn into an android.
