Over at the Styling Salon, everyone is very annoyed that Laz the Master Stylist isn't here at work today!
Ethereal not only doesn't answer any questions about Laz, but she also doesn't wait on anyone!
All she does is dance! All Day!
She still makes $50 every hour or so, but no jobs are lined up for her! What kind of styling profession is this?
"Hm, she has some nerve." think Annalise.
Victor and Timon talk telepathically to each other about Ethereal's unusual behavior.

"Um..hellooo! ... Ethereal?" tries Thalan, and even claps his hands loudly to try to get her attention.

Thalan is amused by this unusual behavior, he thinks she is ignoring him on purpose, and can't help but laugh at the situation. Customers wanting a makeover, and Ethereal ignoring everything and everyone and being so bad on the job!

Finally she comes over to Thalan.
"Why are all you Vampires here today? Is it a vampire convention?" she asks, which Thalan thinks is a priceless thing to say.

But then, reading her mind, he understands something is quite off. She seems to have a great disturbance in her mind.

"Will you dance with me, Thalan?"
"Well...sure. Are you ok?
"Just dance, you grisly vampire."
"At your service, Madame!" smiles Thalan

Thalan dances, to keep her smiling, while he tries to see if he can figure out what is wrong with Ethereal's mind.

Inside the Styling salon, Everyone must fend for themselves! Hopefully the fairies have enough sense of style not to botch up their outfits!
Timon likes what he sees, and decides no improvement is necessary!

He speaks telepathically to Oakley ''We just might be seeing a ghost soon!"
"I wonder if it will be Ethereal's ghost!?" :o

Oakley, saddened by her friend's state, tries to cover for Ethereal at her job, so she won't get in trouble.

Oakley puts the ugliest outfit on Annalise, the one that Ethereal had designed for her! And tells her ''Ethereal left notes to also cut your hair super short, almost bald!"
"Annalise, Thalan likes your very long hair. Just sayin'." mentions Timon.

"You guys! Cool it! She's coming in here!" says Thalan, rushing inside before Ethereal comes in.

Victor comes over to talk with her. He has always cared about her, a former fellow fire fighter.
"Ethereal, you don't seem yourself, lately, are you alright?" he asks.
"Well I can't really run this place all by myself you know! Wickerman is gone most days, running his business venture, and Laz has decided to join the military! It is just too much!" she says in an anguished voice.

"I know, it must be very hard on you. Hey, I'm sorry it didn't work out with Laz, I know you loved him." says Victor.
"He complained my skin is too smooth! Can you believe that! I...I think he might...well he came home from a stupid wolf meeting smelling of female wolves, I think. Maybe it was wet dog, I don't really know the difference!" chokes Ethereal.

"Well..gee....maybe he just likes really hairy partners? You do!" says Victor.
And a light goes on in Ethereal's mind.
