While looking for his watch in his desk, Jonathan sees Dio out of the corner of his eye. Dio has already taken the watch and plans to use it for the day. Jonathan feels uneasy, and thinks to himself that he will never see that watch again. Elsewhere in the mansion, Dio sees the Stone Mask and holds it. George explains that it originated from the Aztecs, and that he had bought the mask at a gallery in London not long after Jonathan was born. It was on the way back when the carriage accident occurred, and George keeps it with him as a memento of his wife, Mary. George asks Dio if he is interested in the mask, but Dio says he is not.

Sitting in a tree smoking a pipe, Jonathan sees his friends. He calls out to them, but they say that he will just snitch on their plans. Jonathan begins to think that Dio is behind his friends' strange behavior. {(While on the verge of crying, Danny comes and makes him feel better by playing catch with him until sundown, and later watching the stars and thinking about their future at the house)}. Suddenly, Jonathan sees a girl staring at him from the side of the river. She runs away and leaves a basket of fruit for Jonathan. Jonathan realizes that she was the girl he saved the other day, Erina Pendleton.
