Synopsis for "Dead Means Dead, Chapter One"
The Runaways are coping with Gert's death in different ways. Nico and Victor begin a relationship, Molly asks the Leapfrog if Gertrude is in Heaven, and Karolina and Xavin begin to discuss the subject of death. Meanwhile, a former policeman who had been responsible for investigating the Pride sells a talisman owned by them to an elderly shopkeeper.
