Hercules kills the Phoenix and falls to the ground, with the chalice. All enter the academy. Fiducus, the academy accountant, tells Iolaus his tuition is due by the end on the week. No more excuses. The next step in Ares and Strife's plan is to pit Iolaus and Jason against Hercules. Strife does this by telling them that the chalice belongs to Hera. Jason and Iolaus accuse Hercules of lying to them, and keeping secrets. Hercules says he's sorry, but they don't listen. Iolaus gets to the bar, enters, finds his money bag, and then notices all the money on the counter. He stares at it.
