Magenta attacks Thunder and Lightning, stabbing Thunder. Enraged, Lightning electrocutes her, knocking her down. Dr. Damalis decides to activate the Atomic Skull but finds Tony Rocco, new chief of security, who has been bugging her office, knows what she's doing, and has sent Michaels to Belle Reve. Magenta bursts in followed by Thunder and Lightning. Before she can kill them all, Tony plays a tape of Dr. Damalis saying "Rumpelstiltskin," and Frances Kane is free. Dr. Damalis is arrested, but Tony and Frances learn she has escaped after saying two words in her one phone call: "Snow White."
