In The Face Behind the Glass, Ryker is working on a motorcycle in his shop when Raven Reyes wanders in. The two discuss the problem the bike is facing and Ryker allows her to take a look at it. He seems immediately impressed by her mechanic knowledge. Raven then questions why Ryker isn't taking part in the Naming Day Ceremony, to which he replies that parties "aren't his thing". He then asserts he likes the alone time. Raven believes she offended him by walking in on him and staying, and starts to leave. However, Ryker assures Raven he wants her to stay and continue to help with the bike.

Later on, Ryker gets dresses up for the Naming Day Ceremony and walks in on Raven, who is busy trying to fix the motorcycle. It is then that Ryker reveals he is a Prime so he has to show up to the finale of the ceremony. He jokes with Raven and promises to get her "some of that good wine". The two then leave together.

When Ryker takes his place on the stage, Russell states that he is glad Ryker could make it. Ryker remains quiet yet appears resentful of something. His resentful facade remains for the entire ceremony, including when his "mother", Priya VII inside of Delilah's body, hugs him.
