Leilani arrested
She admits to the accusations but tries to divert blame elsewhere - she tells them that Norman is dead, killed by "Friend", which she suspects is working for Talaris. If she is telling the truth that would mean the corporation is killing off their own. Conk after interrogating her makes the decision that it is too risky to keep her around and that their best option is to kill her. After some deliberation with the other myconids Bo, Jimmy, Morel, Wisp as well as Ahi and Tynan, Conk loses his patience and decides to end her life. Being a magical plantkin as she is, that may not be the last we see of Leilani.

He responds that he sings alone since he has no friends, but is glad that this is no longer the case, now having met her. Suprising her he suddenly produces an impressive voice - and proceeeds to sing a part from "Elvis Presley - Can't help falling in love" before going to sleep in Ryzy's bed.
