In "Meaty", when the two enter The Clubhouse of Awesomeness, Book shows it to Ice Cube who points out that they got kicked out last time. Book reassures Ice Cube by telling her Match is no longer there to exclude them. Later in the episode after Pencil and Ruby die, Book asks Ice Cube how the two of them could win.

In "The Four is Lava", Ice Cube is so angry at the thought of Book being recovered that she, unlike her teammates, shows no reaction to Four having arms come out of his mouth or Taco asking Four to recover Book.
