| Eventually Persephone either sided with Hekate or Kassandra, based upon choices made during previous memories.
| | ==Behind the scenes== |
| | The name of the memory is an allusion to the saying "{{Wiki|No good deed goes unpunished}}". It may also be a reference to the {{Wiki|No Good Deed (song)|song}} in the Broadway musical ''{{Wiki|Wicked (musical)|Wicked}}'', as there are [[Sudden and New|three]] [[Good News|other]] [[Popular|quests]] in the DLC that have a similar naming scheme, all of which are in Hekate's quest line. |

| ==Trivia==
| | This quest references previous choices made in Hekate's quest line. Some decisions made will either help or hurt Kassandra's argument against Hekate: |
| *This quest references previous choices made in Hekate's quest line. Some decisions made will either help or hurt Kassandra's argument against Hekate:
| | *"[[Good News]]" – Instructing [[Isadore]] to sing Hekate's praises as an ally of the humans will be used against Hekate. |
| **[[Good News]] – Instructing [[Isadore]] sing Hekate's praises as an ally of the [[human]]s will be used against Hekate | | *"[[Have Another Drink]]" – Destroying [[Lethe]]'s water during "[[Have Another Drink]]" helps Kassandra's argument. |
| **[[Have Another Drink]] – Destroying [[Lethe]]'s water during [[Have Another Drink]] helps Kassandra's argument | | *"[[Popular]]" – Poisoning the devotees hurt Kassandra's argument even though Persephone will point out that it is Hekate's ''modus operandi'' regardless. |
| **Breaking into the sanctuary during [[Sudden and New]] and poisoning the symposium during [[Popular]] are always brought up. How they help or hurt is uncertain, but Persephone appears to blame both the break-in and the poisoning—or attempt thereof—on Hekate, as she is the only one with the key and the green thumb for [[aconite]], respectively. | | |
| **Choosing Wait twice and then Leave when eavesdropping on Hekate and [[Hermes Trismegistus|Hermes]] allows Kassandra to leave with all the information she needs while also reaching Persephone before Hekate. Waiting a third time, or Interrupting at any time, will allow Hekate to escape and reach Persephone first, which will hurt Kassandra's argument. | | In addition, the following arguments will either strengthen or weaken Kassandra's argument against Hekate: |
| *The name of the memory references the saying "{{Wiki|No good deed goes unpunished}}".
| | *Lying about breaking into the sanctuary during "[[Sudden and New]]" strengthens Kassandra's argument. Telling the truth weakens it even though Persephone will point out that Hekate is the only one with the key regardless. |
| *It may also be a reference to the {{Wiki|No Good Deed (song)|song}} by the Broadway musical ''{{Wiki|Wicked (musical)|Wicked}}'', as there are [[Sudden and New|three]] [[Good News|other]] [[Popular|quests]] in the DLC that have a similar naming scheme, all of which are in Hekate's quest line.
| | *Admitting to working with Hekate weakens Kassandra's argument. |
| | *Of the three options for the final argument against Hekate: |
| | **"Hekate wants to turn you against me" is the weakest argument. This option is automatically available even if the player leaves immediately despite the fact its argument is based on information Kassandra learns from waiting one time. |
| | **"Hekate wants your throne" is the stronger argument. This option is automatically available even if the player leaves immediately despite the fact its argument is based on information Kassandra learns from waiting one time. |
| | **"Hekate is trying to help you" is the strongest argument, but it is only available if the player chooses "[Wait]" three times when eavesdropping on Hekate and Hermes, which also ensures that Kassandra gets caught. Reaching Persephone before Hekate gives more influence over Persephone than this argument. This option is not available if the player only chooses "[Wait]" two times before leaving despite the fact Kassandra directly quotes words from Hekate that she only needs to wait two times to hear. |
| | *Getting caught by waiting a third time or interrupting at any time will result in Hekate fleeing to reach Persephone first. This substantially harms Kassandra's argument but does not guarantee failure. |
