She thanks Edgar for making her smile again and the two friends decide to play tricks on the mean [[fortune teller]]. They find her telling a young [[Hiro Nakamura]] of his destiny before Edgar [[Super speed|steals]] the crystal ball. Lydia and Edgar go on the ferris wheel and both look into the ball, seeing what they most desire.
