The
next day, Molly comes to the Zero Club to spy on Octavia,
but as before, she's completely caught in Octavia's
thrall and finds she's baring her soul instead of
spying. When Molly admits that she's lost and confused,
Octavia takes Molly's hands and comforts her.

"And
so you see, my dear, each one of us has our own important
role to play." says Octavia.
"Really?"
Molly asks.
"Really,"
says Octavia. "We can all be heroes in our own
world if we just act on our beliefs."
"Could
we?" Molly cries. "I always dreamt of being
a hero, like Space Girl - coming in at the last minute
to save the day."
"Best
not to wait 'til the last minute, but you could be
a hero at any time. Who knows when the opportunity
will arise? It could be here absolutely now."
"Now?"
Molly gulps.
"You
might know things ...." But either Molly is too
naive to realize Octavia wants information about Ned,
or she's truly good at faking ignorance, and Octavia
loses patience with Molly's wide-eyed naiveté.
"Maybe you've made things too easy for yourself,
too secure," Octavia says.
"What's
wrong with that," Molly counters. "I want
to feel secure. I'm always trying to feel secure."
"And
you end up confused"
"I
know."
"You need to fight for something you believe
in!"
"But
I hate fighting," Molly wails.
"Well,
one day you may hate living. Little icicles may grow
where your blood used to flow."
