He asks the scientists about testing the Joy pill. The scientists begin to test the joy pill so someone tried to take it. Then the customer takes it to make him happy and forgets it. The scientists are glad that Joy is working, so they sell to everyone at Wellington Wells and take their Joy to forget the very bad things.

She notices a book that says "The History of Wellington Wells" and reads it. According to the book, it's a mystery that many wellies have disappeared or "gone on holiday". She also saw the picture of Foggy Jack (which is Uncle Jack who is the comedian, TV, and radio host of the Wellington Wells broadcasting services before having a breakdown and disappeared.).

Daisy notices the mask on the floor which she remembers the citizens wear the happy mask so nobody could see their actual faces and also become happy. She saw the old newspaper of the Hastings brothers on June 4, 1947. She remembers that her grandfather swaps the ID card with his brother when he was at the train station.

Daisy waves to Max at the stage after finishing singing "The Make Believes Life". Max shows a guitar to Daisy and Kate which makes them proud and jubilant. Before Max asks Daisy and Kate a question, they hear a siren of the police car and fire truck rushing across King's Road. Daisy, Max, and Kate must check out to see terrible happening at King's Road.

They gasped in shock as they saw people run away and a bunch of dead bodies due to the King's Road massacre. Daisy must check it out to see someone who is shooting victims and covered in smog until she realizes that someone is shooting to turn out to be the assassins. Daisy takes cover behind the car after she dodges the bullet from their rifts. She takes a breath as Daisy sees the handgun on the ground, grabs it quickly, and checks it if there're some assassins still here. She aims at one of the assassins and shoots at them. Some are killed and injured by Daisy.

She begins to dodge the bullets from the assassins' rifles while running. One of the assassins got shot on the forehead and killed while others were injured. Daisy dodges the bullets that they fired at her. But, as they reloaded their rifles, Daisy warns everyone about the bombs that they are going to blow everything.
