Niche thinks she has failed at being Lag's dingo, so she runs away from home with her pet(?) Steak. Worried, Lag and Connor head out to search for Niche. However Niche, hungry and wandering aimlessly around town, sneaks into the bread and weapons shop Sinners and tries to finally cook Steak, but the Gobenis catch her in the act.

Sylvette receives a fan letter addressed to her from a girl named M. Croce, asking her to make a doll that looks like her to give to her brother who will be leaving his hometown to work in a coal mine shortly. The doll maker, Sylvette, hurries to make the doll, and after spending all night, heads out the next morning to deliver it. Lag is worried and goes with her, but the two of them are tired and end up falling asleep on the rhino carriage!
