Synopsis
The Cirinists break through Pud's door (even though it was unlocked.) They immediately kill a customer, and then Pud. It's only Jaka's claim of diplomatic immunity that saves her and Rick. Oscar is sentenced to two years hard labor for writing without a permit.
Young Jaka's world comes crashing down when Lord Julius brings home his 17 year old bride, Astoria.

Annotations
- The Note From The President is only this: "The more things stay the more they change the sane."
- This is the seventh issue of the series in which Cerebus does not appear. It last happened in last issue, and happens again next issue.
- p. 1: Jaka is wearing T'campin gold thread and her dress is in newest Shen fashion.
- p. 1: The chairs for Lord Julius and his new wife Astoria are of the same height.
- p. 3: In a play on the "We have the keys" trope, Pud remarks "It. . .It wasn't locked." after the Cirinist smash in the door.
- p. 7: After the Old Tavern Patron falls over, we see the bottom of his shoes have what appear to be holes in them. A possible indicator of how poor the ex-Army veteran was.
- p. 18: Oscar says his publisher's name is Lane Smithers and is in the Upper City.
