In Salt Lake City, Utah; John Clay and Sister Voice arrives in the outskirt of the city. Clay states to Sister Voice of the hypocrisy of the city's home religion of Mormonism, apart from its polygamy, over its "no gambling" virtue while heavily investing in Las Vegas casinos. Clay then have Sister Voice devastate the city with the power of her loud voice.

In the Carrier, the Engineer and Jack Hawksmoor are making love. The Doctor enviously eavesdrop on the two from the Garden of Ancestral Memory. Jeroen's predecessor eased him to not let his jealousy overcome his (supposedly) enlightened mind.

Notes

• Jeroen Thornedike's jealousy over the Engineer's sexual relationship with Jack Hawksmoor is a nod to the Doctor's attraction to the Engineer in the conclusion in the "Earth Inferno" story arc.
