The 09 was an exposition episode, full of flashbacks and informational dialog. Young Ahmey was such a cutie pie.

Speaking of whom, looks like Ubu was only half-right. Ahmey was in the Uruk army and was aquainted with Kelb, but she retired three years ago. It doesn't look like she's in Gil's Secret Service currently. She does not care for Kaaya's well-beeing enough, and obviously has her own agenda in the climbing business. At a guess, her plans are actually hazy, but in general she plans to summon Owen's spirit or something silly like that.
