Flashback

Space - Stolia's Mansion

(The episode starts with with a shot of a galaxy, with Stolia narrating over it)

Stolia: In the great expanse of the nether there exists boundless amounts of magnificent phenomenon the great brilliance of an exploding star, the nimble dance of space dust through a nebula but once every one thousand years our corner of reality is treated to an incredible sight from the deep eldritch recesses of the cosmos the tears of a forgotten colossus begin to fall.

(Multiple asteroids that catch in colorful fire start to rocket through space)

Stolia: Tears made of the hopes and dreams of every living thing that never came to be. Condensed and sent shooting across the night sky in a dazzling final display. What appears to mortal beings as a meteor shower we can see for what it is: Azathoth's Tears.

(Stolia finishes telling Young Octavia the tale. Octavia giggles)

Young Octavia: Mommy, can we go see it someday?

Stolia: Yes, dear. I promise, when the day comes nothing will be able to keep me from being there with you. Good night, my Owlette.

(Octavia yawns)

Young Octavia: Good night!

(She turns and wiggles and giggles in her bed)

Flashback End

(Scene shifts to present Octavia, still looking happy, she's circling a drawing on a calendar of her face, Stolia's face, and a meteor shower. The starfall is "today". She hops down a hallway putting on her boot)

Octavia: Hey, mom!

(She looks in her kitchen and around the manor, but she isn't there)

Octavia: Mom? Mom?

(She sees an open foyer door, we hear Stolia's voice coming through it)

Stolia: Yes, I know!

(Stolia is out front on the phone with Stella, squeezing a servant in her other hand. Imps are loading items into a van)

Stolia: It will be there, shortly. Of course they're being careful!

Octavia: Mom, what's going on?

Stolia: Apparently, your mother can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of her possessions--

(Stella is yelling something incomprehensibly in response through the phone as Stolia speaks)

Stolia: What? No! I'm not turning her against you-- Yes, Stella!

(Stella's voice is heard through the phone)

Stella: --never have to see your fucking face again!

Octavia: Mom?

Stella: Everyone-

(She continues to yell incomprehensibly)

Octavia: This is going to be done before tonight, right?
