Synopsis for "Kimono Dragons, Chapter Two"
In Kansas, Hero Brown escorts Beth and her newborn, Beth, Jr. to a safe site where they can be given proper medical care and Hero is reunited with Natalya Zamyatin. She has a sample of Ampersand's stool and hopes that a drug can be developed to help Ciba Weber and her son exit the safe house where they have been living for a year.
In Tokyo, Agent 355 and Yorick Brown discover that the man who greeted them in a night club[1] is actually a lifelike robot. They are attacked by You, a guard at the club who protects these lifelike sex robots and was concerned that Agent 355 and Yorick were sent by Epiphany, a former Canadian pop star who has turned head of the Yakuza. She has Ampersand and the only thing she wants more than the monkey is Yorick.
Meanwhile, Allison Mann stands at the smoldering remains of her mother's laboratory and Rose Copen urges her to continue looking for her, while Toyota stalks them. The duo go to Allison's mother's greenhouse, where Rose is stabbed by Dr. Matsumori.
