Rhino accidentally falls off the bridge, and to Mittens terror, Bolt, still believing himself to have super-powers, jumps in to save him. The rescue doesnt quite go as Bolt expected, and he almost drowns, but still tries hard to save Rhino. When Mittens helps a shaken Bolt back to shore, they find Rhinos hamster ball, believing him to be dead, until they see a wet, awestruck Rhino, who thanks Bolt for saving him.

It is stated that the handle of the dagger holds one minutes worth of the Sands of Time. The first time Dastan presses the jewel, he rewinds time by 32 seconds. The second time he presses it, he rewinds 23 seconds. This makes up 55 seconds, or almost the full minute of sand. After its refilled, its used twice again. Dastan uses it to rewind 16 seconds of time, and Tus uses it to rewind 44 seconds of time, using up exactly 60 seconds of sand. This reflects the actual time of the actions being undone from the moment of bodily repossession to the moment the jewel is pressed, as the time during which the user is in his out-of-body experience is slightly compressed by a few seconds or more.
