Issue Summary

Mary calls off the hunt thinking she wouldn’t be able to shoot after the climbing. She later has a dream of a talking lion. We see the four of them at the campfire, Mary is reading from a journal, which we flashback to her story and she is writing in it. The hunt for Mary’s lion continues.

They find the lion and all of them shoot, Mary hears Ham shoot, Denis shoot, and then she does and the lion is killed. They later claim that Mary shot first and earned the kill. Mary doesn’t enjoy the lion steak she had for dinner that night. Mary feels cheated that Ham and Denis had shot first and then fooled her about it. We see the four of them at the campfire where Mary talks of a journalist’s question that she is a lesbian. To whom she recounts that Ham states Mary is not a lesbian but his boy, and how she always wanted to be a boy without losing her femininity and how he is her little girl.
