Later on in "Cleopatra's Pleasure Tour", he hits on Cleopatra, initially believing her to be a cosplayer since no one had heard from her in millennia. When he witnesses her power against the Rebel Army, he realizes that she has returned and accompanies the group as a loyal servant to avoid angering her. He repairs a broken Big Gate and when Cleopatra and her mummy servants enter, he wonders if he should have gone with them before deciding against it.
