Back at Smilecorp, Solly demands that Larson P. Giles reward him for capturing Grant, but he ends up in a stand off between Larson, Ferguson, and Smiles (a Smilecorp TV mascot). Solly tricks them all and gains the upper hand, removing Grant's boil with the intention of implanting the brain fragment (a powerful extension of Grant's lobe) into his own neck to become the greatest comic alive. The boil seems to reject him, though, and splits him in half causing his death.
Solly demands payment from Larson P. Giles for capturing Grant, leading to a conflict between Larson, Ferguson, and Smilecorp's mascot, Smiles. Solly then uses trickery to gain control of Grant's boil, intending to implant the brain fragment into his neck to become a renowned comedian. The operation fails as the boil rejects him, causing him to be split in two and die.
