Episode Summary

Horse awakens in the desert. Meanwhile, Jotaro and company are in Saudi Arabia, gassing up their vehicle, and we learn that thus far these adventures have taken one month. Meanwhile, Hol Horse is proposing an alliance to Enya Geil. She rejects his alliance and stabs him in the arm. Enya blames Hol Horse for J. Geil's death. She unleashes her Stand, allowing her to take control of Hol, and causing numerous clean holes to materialize on his body. Hol tries to kill Enya with Emperor, but Justice forces him to turn his gun on himself.

While our heroes are driving into the desert, they drive into a heavy fog and are forced to find a hotel to stay in for the night. Coming to a nearby town, they find the place seems deserted. They become even more alarmed when the only person they find in the streets is dead – killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. They find a woman walking in the streets and try to get her to report the man's death to the police. The woman (actually Enya, made up to look like a plague victim) says she would do so and leaves.

An old woman (again, Enya in disguise) arrives with two police officers, who carry off the body without any comment. The old woman says she runs a hotel, and offers to take them there. Upon arriving to the Hotel, she asks Joseph to sign in by name – when his name was not used around her at any time. Joseph also recognizes Enya's name in the registry – she says that's a beautiful woman staying in the hotel. Finally, Polnareff notices that the hostess has only been using her right hand and asks about her left – she claims she burned it.

That evening, Polnareff has problems sleeping, so he walks down to the Hotel bar, where he sees the beautiful woman that the Old Woman mentioned earlier (yet again, Enya). The two talk, with Enya saying she's traveling looking for someone who killed a family member. Polnareff feels like a kindred spirit and talks about what started him traveling. However, before this discussion can go further, Hol Horse bursts out of a closet and, gasping, tells Polnareff to run.

The possessed-by-the-mist bartender starts to stab Polnareff, but Star Platinum blocks his attack. Polnareff literally disarms his attacker, and speculates on the Bartender's motive (not understanding that he's controlled by another source). The woman finishes her story, explaining that she's J. Geil's mother. As the zombies rise up and attack, Polnareff realizes his danger.
