At the moment, nothing. He's been drained of his powers and turned to stone, but he's still alive. I think the other Bill is responsible, but I can't be sure.

[This, Luke thinks, is probably something he should have known about, and if not prevented, at least done something about.]

Either way, my inmate's been harmed and I need to check on him. What are you thinking of?

You know how you said trapping Bill was the worst thing for him?

Well, I'm going to do just that. Until we figure out what to do with him and can stop him from turning this Stan's universe into a chaotic nightmare anyway. I've hidden components of the trap in the New York Public Library in Thomas Edison's biographies. (No one needs THAT many biographies, especially not a hack like him!) I've asked several others to bring them to my location. My warden will be tracking me. When they're all in the same place, Tesla will activate them, forming an energy field that will suck Bill into a containment unit.

Our Bill is in the L. L. Diner, inert in the freezer. But if you go, DON'T MENTION HIM TO STANLEY. It's VERY IMPORTANT that NOTHING makes Stan Pines think of Bill. I'll explain it all later.

[Luke understands like a third of what Ford is saying.]

But Bill--my Bill--he won't be involved?

You understand, I'm trying to do the least possible harm to his progress while agreeing that we can't allow worlds to be ruined.

[mothmansplaining]

Actually, I do.

He won't be involved.

Then, I guess, I'll help as much as I can.

[mothmansplaining]

Thank you.

Get a node and bring it to where I'll be fighting Bill. I don't have to win, just keep him distracted long enough for all of you to get into position. And KEEP IT CASUAL. You know his powers. Assume he has eyes on you at all times. Don't talk about any of this out loud.

[Luke is uneasy about this. He doesn't want to go behind Bill's back. But he also knows that Bill's capable of all kinds of things--and he is sure that letting him manipulate another universe to his own gain is not a step forward.

He'll have to deal with his Bill later, though, it seems.]

Okay. If you're sure. I'll be there.
