Rogue Coda assassin Artemis and Cabal member Hightower pay an informant named Lonely to set up Grifter for an ambush by tipping him off to a Cabal operation. Afterward, Artemis kills Lonely. Grifter goes to investigate the operation and is attacked by Cabal Hybridroids. Realizing he has been set up, he fights them off until Hightower traps him. Back at Halo, Void senses Grifter is in trouble so Emp rallies the team. Meanwhile, Artemis tortures Cole and reveals she is using him as bait to lure Zealot on whom she wants revenge. Just then, Zealot appears and challenges Artemis to a deathmatch.
