During their meeting, Lady Penelope raises her glass to take a sip of her Pernod, but Parker shoots the glass from her hand with one of FAB 1's headlight guns before she can have a drink. He informs her that the drink was drugged as a shady stranger hurries from the café. While the waiter stammers an apology, Penelope searches the seat vacated by the stranger and finds a book of matches bearing an unfamiliar crest.
