Trying to convince the Mayor to get rid of Detheroc's immunity, Major Calvert assigned Abaddon and the player to escort him during the pie competition in Festival Easthill. However, when they arrived there, they found the pie competition judge and Abaddon's step-mother Marguerite Dusk poisoned with foam coming from her mouth. Priscilla revealed that Marguerite was poisoned with bleach on a rhubarb pie that she had recently eaten, not fitting with any of the contestants' recipes that were given to the judges.
