Still wandering through the forest, Nicole and Noah trade flirty-hostile quips until Nicole tells Noah that he has no idea what "sets [her] soul free." "Really?" Noah asks, and then he chucks a rock at a nearby tree. To the sound of majestic harps, a ton of crappy CGI butterflies come flying out of the tree and surround Noah and Nicole. Nicole and Noah seem to think that this is wondrous, but I think that the butterflies are probably really pissed that Noah threw a rock at their house and are mounting a counter-strike. Nicole is tickled when one of the butterflies lands on her hand, and the scene cuts before we can see the part where it detonates the suicide bombs it has strapped to its thorax. The butterflies will rise again!
Now it's nighttime, and Noah and Nicole are hanging out by a way-too-perfect-looking campfire. Noah is trying to figure out the bird clue while Nicole appears to be roasting some kind of meat on a stick. Discouraged, Noah says he must not be as smart as he thought he was. This earns him a slap across the face from Nicole, who says that "no one talks about The Librarian that way, not even The Librarian." Meanwhile, I think Nicole's got some rage issues she might need to work on. The expression on Noah's face seems to agree with me. He asks Nicole if she's got any toilet paper. Nicole hands him a leaf.
On his way to whatever he's planning to use as a toilet, Noah looks over the cliff they're apparently camped out on top of and sees some campfires way below them. Nicole comes over to investigate, and says it's the Brotherhood. She puts the campfire out but says they can stay where they are because the Brotherhood "wouldn't dare" to climb the cliff at night. She says Noah's free to use the bathroom. "Lost the urge," Noah says. Does one ever lose the urge to use the bathroom? It seems like the sort of thing that, once it's announced its arrival, stays with you until it has been alleviated.
Noah whines that it's cold outside now that their fire is gone, and that they'll have to do something "pretty desperate" to keep warm. Nicole agrees that they can huddle together for body warmth purposes only. Noah puts his head on her shoulder and starts pointing out constellations to her. He claims to have memorized the "known universe." She laughs at him. Because this is A Moment, Noah again asks Nicole what happened to the last Librarian. "He died. End of story," she says, claiming she can't remember any details. Noah says that's not true; Nicole remembers everything. Nicole says that Noah doesn't know anything about her, prompting Noah to work his detective magic on her. Hey, it worked for one bitter, caustic female lead; why wouldn't it work for the other? It turns out that Nicole is the youngest and only female child of three, parented by an English mother and an Argentinean father. Nicole never learned Spanish and never had any pets, and her favorite stone is jade. And she wishes she could forget some of the things she's seen, but she can't. And how, exactly, did Noah figure all that out? We won't know, because Nicole takes this opportunity to tell Noah what she's figured out about him. "Nerd," she says. And that's it. Then she tells him about the last Librarian: "Edward was charming, handsome, absolutely brilliant." She worked with him for two years and they fell in love. Then they were hanging out in the Antarctic, as you will, and sleeping in an igloo he built with his vast knowledge. When she woke up the next morning, he was gone. She ran outside, only to see the Brotherhood cut off his head. Noah is not particularly excited to hear how the last Librarian met his end. Nicole regrets that she failed her only job, which is to protect The Librarian. And yet, here she is with another chance. I would have fired her. Suddenly, there's a rustling in the underbrush around them. "We're surrounded," Nicole says. Noah says he doesn't see anyone. We see a bunch of bow and arrow-wielding natives surrounding Nicole and Noah. "Oh, them," Noah says.
