The next morning, the Governess is shocked to learn that the Norns have been locked up. The Governess wonders if the gig was a mistake, but she is certain that it was not. She also wonders if Blake's drug use must have played a role in it. She wonders if she should tell Baph about the fact that she is pregnant. She then wonders if he should tell the truth about the pregnancy. She says she is a "walking trash fire" and that she has no shame about it. When she realizes that he has no imagination, she reminds him that he would have destroyed everything if he had not had a mistress. She tells him that without a mistress, he would be a "garbage golem" who needs to be "sundered" to set him free. She adds that tragedy gives "fuck" ideas above the station and that they could have had all the fun they wanted.
