Plot
Mari taps into her Anansi Totem and took down the street thugs, much to Chuck's surprise. They return to Chuck's house for coffee, though Chuck preferred something stiffer. Chuck offers Mari to stay for the night, telling her that her room was exactly the way she left it. When she returns to her room, she has a flashback to the day her step-mother gave her the Anansi Totem.

The following day, Mari visits Dr. Macalester to learn more about her Anansi Totem. When Macalester began explaining the Anansi Totem, Mari tells former that she already knew what he was telling her as she read about it in an encyclopedia when she was younger. Mari explains she had the totem since she was ten and thought it was a piece of junk then, but due to recent events, she now believes that it's the key to learning more about her family. Macalester asks who her family was and Mari said that's the 52 million dollar question. Before Mari leaves, Macalester tells Mari whoever possessed the totem could gain access to the "ashe" of the animal kingdom. Macalester then told Mari it was just a myth which the latter sarcastically said it was too bad as she could've got something for it online.

Macalester calls a mysterious woman, reporting Mari was in his office with the totem. He tells the woman he could get Mari back whenever he wants and the woman tells him once she had the totem, his next expedition would be fully funded. When Macalester asks what would happen to Mari, the woman tells him not to worry as she needed her alive for now.
