The Day Court
Reginald and his comrades go to the day court after he negotiates with Balestro. There, Reginald defends the vampires, praising himself as a no-harm, do-good vampire. He uses Maurice to show how vampires help and save humans, despite being supposed to feed on them.
However, the other vampires Reginald calls upon don't help, as Balestro reads their minds and exposes their lies. Reginald and Maurice then argue that not all angels are superior, citing Uriel, who killed many to satisfy his ego. Balestro dismisses Uriel as flawed and refuses to discuss further.
After the recess
The scene shifts to Sarah and Mike meeting at the same blue art gallery and talking about how heaven does not feel like heaven. Mike asks about Todd to Sarah. As soon as Mike starts thinking about Todd to resume his sadness and reminiscing, Sarah tries to switch topics.

Surprise Surprise!

Later, Abraham sides with the vampires, and Balestro tells him that even he will die alongside them.
Claire arrives and tries to save the DAY

Relief for now
