She declares that she won't re-marry until her tapestry is finished. In the middle of the night, we see Penelope unweaving her tapestry. On the Navis, Diomedes pulls up a fishing net and suddenly a fish pops out of a large conch shell and starts talking! It's a Horn of Plenty, which can grant one wish per person. Everybody has frittered away his or her wishes, except for Nisa and Ulysses. He requests to be with Telemachus, thereby infuriating Poseidon. Telemachus gets kidnapped by Pellos so he can take over power in Ithaca. When Telemachus discovers where he's heading, he gapes in terror. Alone out on the sea, the boat has carried him to the Pillars of Hercules, the outer limits of the world. Meanwhile, the Navis sails off course, rapidly approaching the infinite. Yet the Horn of Plenty was only granting Ulysses' wish to be back with Telemachus. They're so far away from Ithaca - will they ever be able to reach their home and escape the Poseidon's tentacles?
