John made it to Caryn's house and knocked on her door. She answered the door and said, "John! What a surprise! I wasn't expecting wewe until tomorrow." He said, "I just thought I'd come say hello." She said, "You couldn't have done that over the phone?" He said, "I thought you'd rather see me in person." She laughed and said, "Always." John laughed and then sighed sadly. Caryn asked, "Is something wrong, John?" He said, "Yes. When I gave an interview with my mates, the interviewer was very rude. He mocked our relationship, saying that no woman would want to tarehe a guy with a scar on his face." She said, "That is very rude. Don't worry, though. Karma will take care of him. Come on in. I'm fixing some dinner. There's plenty." John came inside and said, "All right." As the two ate dinner, John said, "If it weren't for Pastor Thomas, I wouldn't even have this damn scar on my face." Caryn said, "John, wewe shouldn't be ashamed of your scar. Besides, we all have our scars." He asked, "Where is your scar?" She said, "Oh, I don't have any physical scars. All of my scars are the kind wewe can't see. They're called emotional scars."
When Greeley's birthday finally arrived, Leila went to Greeley's house. When she knocked on the door, Greeley answered. He said, "Hi, Leila." She said, "Hi, Greeley. Happy eighteenth birthday." She then handed him a card. He said, "Thank you." When he opened the card, the tamasha tickets fell out. He said, "You got me tamasha tickets!" She said, "Yes, and not just any tamasha tickets. I got tickets to see New Religion. They're having an outdoor tamasha this evening." He said, "That's bloody amazing. Thank you, Leila." He hugged her. She said, "You're welcome, Greeley." After dinner, they had some cake. Greeley said, "This is the best birthday I've ever had." Leila said, "It's not over yet." He said, "You're right. We have a New Religion tamasha to go to." She said, "That's right. We better go if we want to get good parking." He said, "Right." The two Marafiki got into Greeley's car and headed to the concert.
Shortly after the incident, the members of The Devil Wants Peace were interviewed. The interviewer asked, "John, is it true that wewe overcame your fear of water before wewe saved Allen?" John replied, "It's true." The interviewer asked, "Is it true that the rest of wewe were surprised when John swam so quickly?" Stan said, "Yes. I knew that his girlfriend, Caryn, taught him how to swim, but I didn't know she taught him to swim so well." Peter said, "I was impressed at how brave he was, too." Allen said, "Yeah. I'll never forget what he did for me." John said, "Thank Caryn. She's the one who taught me how to swim." Caryn saw the interview on the news, and she was very touched. Later, John alisema to Caryn, "Thank wewe for everything wewe did for me this summer." She said, "You're welcome." He said, "Your upendo for me is what motivated wewe to help me, and in the end, I was able to help my mates. upendo conquers fear. I truly believe that."

During the 4th of July celebration in Oak Ridge, the members of New Religion decided to take Klondike out with them to get him used to noise and crowds. Lots of people stopped them and asked to pet Klondike. He was very happy getting petted. One person said, "He's a beautiful dog. What kind of dog is he?" Erin said, "He is a kuvuka, msalaba between a German Shepherd and a Siberian Husky." Another person asked, "How old is he?" Paul replied, "He will be three months old later this month." Klondike enjoyed all the attention he was getting. He didn't seem to mind the noises during the parade. That night, he wasn't even bothered kwa the fireworks. Carl said, "I think he's mascot material. He doesn't have a problem with crowds au noises." Lola said, "Yeah. He will do well when he starts touring with us." The members of New Religion knew that they got the perfect dog to be their new mascot when Fritz retires. Klondike will have big shoes to fill, but he'll certainly fill them.
