The Sandman’s eighth episode begins where the last one left off, with Rose facing Dream and Lucienne. The King of Dreams accepts Rose when she enters his presence through her dreams and lets her speak. It appears that Dream now feels some responsibility for the emergence of a fresh vortex. It appears that Dream’s mention of Jed was what motivated Rose to go there. Dream thinks that Gault, his absent Nightmare, is the person who has Jed.
Rose is encouraged to keep looking for her brother by Dream, who promises to assist her in her dreams as she looks into the real world. Jed is currently imprisoned in a filthy house’s dark basement, where Aunt Clarice and Uncle Barnaby are keeping a close eye on him. Jed’s awful lot in life is made just a little bit more bearable by some wonderful delusions that he is a superhero by the name of The Sandman, thanks to Gault. They are using him for his money.
In the end, Lyta has a dream about her spouse, who helps her stay with him by building the house of her dreams. But Lyta doesn’t; instead, she wakes up and speaks to Rose. She’s printed a ton of Missing Person posters for her brother out of desperation, and she needs Lyta’s assistance hanging them. Rose first goes to see Ms Rubio, the foster agency employee and persuades her to go see Jed.
When Barnaby learns about the visit, he speaks to Jed, telling him to behave well and even offering to let him sleep in a real bed. But only if Jed remains silent and obeys directions. Barnaby will break every bone in his body if that doesn’t happen.
