Nania returns to the House.  She attacks Sito on the roof and knocks him out.  When he comes to, he sees Cirrus fighting Nania off, protecting his little brother.  Cirrus claims he’s quit the Ebene and that they have been controlling him the entire time.  Valero and Rinault question him, and they believe his story checks out.  Adriana will not let Cirrus into the House, however, until Joey reads him.  Meanwhile, Tranns, complaining of several painful symptoms, visits Casey who discovers that she is in need of a very risky operation on her gall bladder.

Sito has been pretty depressed lately so Mia decides to throw a surprise birthday party for him to cheer him up and she gets others in the House to help her.  On the night of his birthday, Cecilia pays a visit to Sito in his room and gives him a small, white kitten, which he names Chiisai.  Cecilia goes to join the others at the party.  Sito goes downstairs and is greeted by all of his friends in the bar, putting a big smile on his face.

Cirrus makes a surprise visit at the party, acting kindly.  His cover is blown, however, when the party-goers realize they can’t leave the bar, despite their best efforts to blast, burn, and destroy the doors and windows.  Haughtily, Cirrus boasts that it was his doing, and he begins to taunt everyone.  The trapped partygoers even begin to turn on each other, snapping and screaming.  Ariadne, still weak, tries to perform sonic scream to knock Cirrus out.  He covers his ears, and it ends up causing Ariadne to pass out.  Rinault continually tries to attack him, but is constantly thrown back. 

Cirrus begins to falter once Chiisai jumps out of Sito’s shirt and rubs up against him.  Cirrus begins sneezing, being highly allergic to cats.  Tranns starts taunting him, then attacks him, giving Sito a chance to tie Cirrus to a chair, letting the kitten rest on Cirrus’ lap.  Adriana threatens Cirrus until he finally agrees to remove the spell.  Once he’s untied and removes the spell, he escapes, thoroughly angering everyone.

Nania visits Sito later that night and explains to him that Cirrus forced her to attack him.  Since Nania betrayed Cirrus, she fears for her family and asks Sito to help protect them.  Lucien and Ariadne remain in the bar, waiting nervously as Tranns undergoes her operation.  After an endless night of wondering, Casey arrives and reports that Tranns is doing fine.  Lucien is elated.
