A reporter from 8 WDCU named Shelby Blutarsky was live in the streets of New York reporting on the freak summer storm. Everyone in the Firehouse was watching the news from a laptop on Janine's desk. Nadeem chuckled and pointed out it was in front of his apartment then realized Garraka might be looking for him. Shelby then shared residents reported a ten-foot man in a cloak asking for someone called a Firemaster. They all turned to Nadeem. Nadeem speculated there could be a second Fire Master then excused himself to go practice. Shelby then talked about unexplained incidents of hail and snow hopscotching the city from Coney Island to Midtown. Janine and Ray exchanged looks. Ray stated "they" were headed straight for them.
