Mit ihr kann er über etwas reden, das ihm nach dem Tod eines kleinen Patienten auf der Seele liegt: Wie kann Gott, wenn es ihn gibt, nur so etwas Grausames zulassen? Als dann mehrere Patienten der Klinik nach dem Genuss eines Tees apokalyptische Wahnvorstellungen haben, findet sich Hector neben Clotilde in einem Flugzeug in Richtung Himalaja wieder, um zu verhindern, dass die falschen Leute hinter das Geheimnis des Tees kommen.
