They experience narrow escapes from several hazards, but begin to wonder if it's true. It's not and S'Loro plans to hijack a duridium shipment, planting mines in the Planeteers' path to destroy them, expecting them to believe themselves charmed. But Tommy figured out the scam, noticing that a vulture sent earlier didn't act like a real vulture, so the Planeteers capture S'Loro and his men.
