He reveals that she can still appeal to his boss, Gale Cumulus, to have the notes revoked, but she is currently at an airball game. Knowing that she only has a week until the store is condemned, Ember goes back to City Hall to confront Wade. Bernie is convinced that Wade is the reason why the place flooded and Ember once again feels guilty for what happened. Ember goes home defeated and finds Bernie and Cinder in the basement trying to stop the leaks. Wade is touched, but admits that it is too late, so he takes her to bureaucrat Fern Grouchwood in an effort to stop the notes from leaving, but when Wade asks Ember to tell Fern her story, she is too reluctant to explain it and causes her temper to burn most of everything in Fern's office, including his hair and mustache, after Wade almost finishes telling the story himself, failing to retrieve the notes. Despite her best efforts, Wade sends his notes, only to hear Ember's story about her father and why he built the store to begin with.

The only person outside the fire people that gives Ember the time of day is a young earth boy named Clod, who has an open crush on her, but she turns him down. Bernie hopes to give the store to Ember so that she can keep their legacy alive, something which is personified by a blue flame that is tied to their culture. Several years later, Ember is still working at the Fireplace, but Bernie does not trust her to run it just yet as she has a literal, fiery temper that makes it difficult for her to connect with other people.
