As they delve deeper into the mystery, the girls start to crack under the pressure. Natasha's powers become increasingly erratic, causing rifts between her and the others. Every time she uses her teleportation, she risks slipping into different dimensions, encountering versions of herself in timelines where she made different choices. This fractures her sense of reality and identity.

In one shocking moment, Natasha's teleportation goes awry during a training exercise, leaving her stranded in a parallel dimension. In this dimension, Nova Academy has fallen to an evil regime, and her alternate self is working for them.

The girls attempt a daring rescue, plunging into this dark alternate timeline. Here, they encounter alternate versions of themselves—darker, corrupted by power, or worse, broken by the battles they couldn't win.

Carol, facing her own alternate self, sees a version of her who embraced the alien artifact's power fully and turned into a galactic tyrant. Scarlet, meanwhile, is confronted by an alternate version who lost control of her flames and destroyed everything she loved.

Carol (Alternate Self): "This is what happens when you hold back. You could be unstoppable. But you choose to play the hero."
Scarlet (Alternate Self): "You think you can control the flames? You don't control anything. Fire consumes all."

This encounter shakes the girls to their core. They realize that the paths they walk are fragile, and one wrong step could turn them into the very enemies they've been fighting. But despite the despair, they work together to rescue Natasha and return to their timeline, though the experience leaves them all questioning themselves.
