After knocking out Noriaki Kakyoin, Jotaro Kujo brings his unconcious body into their abdoe, suprising his mother Holy. He immediatly asks where his grandfather is, for her to disappoinly telling him he's with Muhammad Avdol in the tea room. As Jotaro leaves, Holy sighs citing that Jotaro never wants to talk to her, but just as he's about to leave her sight, he asks if she's okay. Excited by Jotaro's concern over her, she enthusiactically states she's doing fine.
Placing Kakyoin's body down in front of Jospeh and Avdol, the former announces that he only has a few days to live revealing a Flesh Bud on his forehead, mind controlling cells placed there by DIO. Despite the dire situation, Jotaro is determined to remove the parasitic bud to see if they can get any more information from a non-mind controlled Kakyoin. As such, he uses Star Platinum to remove it.
Holding his face still, Jotaro begins removing the Flesh Bud from Kakyoin, causing him to wake up. He explains to the now concious Kakyoing what's going on, but the Flesh Bud begins to dig into his own skin and is heading twoard his brain. The Flesh Bud, now fully removed, is destoryed by Joseph's Ripple.[2]
The next day, Jospeh is waking up, complaining to Holy that she gave him Jotaro's pants to wear, but he can't find her. Jotaro is about to leave for school, but notices that his mother isn't there to greet him off. Avdol is heading to the kitchen and sees that a spoon on the ground, heading into the room he sees pots and pans stewn about everywhere, and that Holy is on the floor unconcious, rushing over to her, he's noticed that she's developing a Stand.
Joseph and Jotaro discover the scene, and Joseph is disgraught at the fact his daughter is being hurt at DIO's hands. Joseph, determined to find a defeat DIO, wants to find his location, but have no leads. Jotaro looks at the Spirit Photograph once more, and Star Platinum sees something in it: a Nile Tsetse fly. Avdol confirms as such, and Kakyoing, now recovered, remembers that he was in Egypt on vacation before being brainwashed.[3]
The group agrees to leave for Egypt, but not before Avdol has Jotaro draw a Tarot Card to name his Stand.[3] Holy is then left in the care of the Speedwagon Foundation.[5]
