Rotor is ready to take off from the party but Sally informs him that it is personal. He realizes that Sally only really wanted to stay for cake. Though when the cake was finally brought out, Sally gobbles it up, still stating that it was personal.
Trivia
The variant cover is a homage to Altered Beast , a Sega game whose protagonist transforms into different humanoid beasts, including a werewolf.
Professor Pickle telling Otto that the Gaia Key belongs in a museum is a reference to the Indiana Jones franchise .
The Off Panel's first title "The Cake is a Filthy Lie" is a reference to the quote "The Cake is a Lie " from the video game Portal .
