Isabella gently placed her hands on Ray's shoulders, she whispered into his ears how Krone is no longer of "any use for her". Ray turned around and stared at her in horror, as Isabella said how she would no longer have him of any use as well. A desperate Ray frantically explained how he is still indeed useful for her, Isabella replied how she already knew of him as a traitor and how he is always on his friends' side.
Though Isabella deemed Ray to still be capable for her to use, she ended the conversation by saying how she would be carrying out a way to stop Emma and the others from escaping by her own, and without the help of Ray.
