After his heart to heart with Demeter, as they were always heart to heart with her, and all the confusion he's felt between his body, mind, and most of all his heart, Gus is more at ease than before but without any answers. He's already told The Devil once and for all it's off, he doesn't want to be that guy that keeps an open option - especially not an open option that could destroy him... and maybe still would. He's not that guy at all. Instead, he's been going through the motions; closing the case and helping get everything ready for the impending party.

The day after Juliet's birthday party, he gets a text message from Shawn telling him to be at Milliways as soon as possible at a bench by the lake. Later, it would occur to him that Shawn was clearly up to something - but as he walks a slow circle around the bench in the pink silk shirt and black slacks he'd worn to work for the day and waits for his friend to show it's more annoying than anything.

"It's fine", she assures him. "My parents had a car, when... when I was little. It's been a while, but I did ride in it then."

She takes his hand and pulls herself back to her feet.

"Then let's go."

Nancy brightens even further. "I like ice cream. Don't think I've had popcorn before, and sweets... not in years."

Nancy's eyes widen at this unfamiliar - and, to her, so advanced as to be almost unthinkable - technology, but then she smiles slowly.

"Cars that switch themselves on too? I think I like your time."

She slides in, studying the interior of the car, but looks up at him with a wry grin at that.

"No Nazis, the best selling point yet."

That gets him a Look.

"Should I get you one of those armoured jackets?"

"Nice", she says dryly. "You need to start choosing your girls better, sounds like. Or get someone to vet them."

...which is basically what Shawn and Juliette have been doing.

"I promise I'm not a psychopathic killer", she says solemnly. "Or dead. And I'm pure human, so... not so much dangerous to you."

Nancy glances at him sideways, uncertain if she did or said something wrong to earn only a weak smile, and nods.

"That's the impression I'm getting. Gentleman, I mean, not human, even I can't tell that."

"Sounds lovely." She smiles at him reassuringly. "And the time's not so important, but I probably shouldn't stay too late. Do you only come to Milliways from your office?"

Thaaat will not be happening. Not yet, anyway.

She nods. "So maybe if I try a few doors there when it's time to go, we could save you driving me back."

"That must've been awkward", she says with a grin. "Or maybe not, I mean, it's Milliways, you probably weren't the strangest sight there."
