Jesse and Petra were in the old cabin of the admins. They were trying to look for some secret weapon that deceased admin Fred left that would hopefully defeat Romeo, an admin who was currently posing as Jesse and wreaking havoc in Beacontown. Petra looked at the beds, then at the banners on the wall, then back to the beds. She could notice that they don't seem to match.
"Something's not right here." Petra voiced her opinion about the beds and the banners. Jesse caught on to what she was trying to imply.
"The beds don't go with the banners?" Jesse asked. He walked over to the blue bed, which was implied to be Fred's and picked it up. He noticed an observer block underneath it.
"Woah, it's an observer block. What's it looking at? The beds?" Jesse asked to himself. He walked over to the next bed, which was red, implying that it was Romeo's. He picked it up. He walked over to the purple bed, indicating that it was Xara's. He picked that one up as well.
Once he had picked up all three beds, he went back to where Petra was standing, and looked at the banners. The color banners above the item frames gave him a clue as to where to arrange the beds. He walked back to the observer blocks and placed the red bed down where the sword banner was.
"Red for Romeo." Jesse said to himself as he placed the red bed down in front of the observer block. A noise was made, indicating that something happened.
"That did something" Jesse said in response to the noise. "One down. Now the rest of these need to go in the right order.
He walked over to the book banner. He took a quick glance over the room and saw that the book item frame matched with the blue banner, so he put the blue bed down in front of the observer block underneath the book banner. The noise clicked again.
Feeling like he was getting somewhere, he walked to the banner with the redstone torch on it. He placed the purple bed in front of the observer block underneath the redstone torch banner. The noise clicked one again. This time however, a bookcase moved out of the way, revealing a book and something he could not identify underneath it. He picked Xara's bed back up and went to take a close look.
It was another one of Fred's journals. Jesse opened the book and read out loud what was written.
"Dear Xara, if you're reading this, I'm already gone. I hid this in the one place I knew you would look for it. Fitting the key to ending all this would be here… where it all started. This is the key to defeating Romeo…"
Written underneath it was '#POTATO451'. Jesse was confused.
"'Potato?' That's the weapon?" Petra said in response, just as confused as Jesse was. "What are—what are we supposed to do with 'Potato'? That's not a weapon! It's a root vegetable, and not a very good one!"
"I don't care how silly it sounds, as long as it works." Jesse responded.
"Yeah, I guess." Petra said, frustrated. "Just… 'potato?' Sorry, I mean '#POTATO451.'"
Jesse rolled his green eyes at that statement. He read on.
"Take this word of passage and use it at the primary terminal. You can take away his power and end this." Jesse read out loud. "'Word of Passage'… Huh, I guess that's the potato." Petra continued to read.
"I still have hope for Romeo, he just wanted us to stay together… more than anything. I know that's why he's doing this. Maybe I'm being foolish, but I need to know for sure before taking this step. Though I guess if you're here, I got my answer. Maybe someday we'll be together again. Your friend, always… Fred." Petra finished reading. "I kind of… feel bad for them. Don't you?"
"Yeah, I feel kind of bad for them, too. This wasn't easy… for any of the admins." Jesse said, in a more flat and depressing tone.
"They really cared about each other. Everyone talks about Romeo like he was this controlling monster, but… Fred wrote that Romeo just wanted to keep them together… more than anything. Isn't that what I've been doing? Especially to you? I don't want you to feel forced to keep doing something you don't want to." Petra rambled on. "I don't wanna be that person. Or… or make you feel scared to tell me the truth."
"I don't wanna hurt your feelings." Jesse began. "But… I do kind of feel like you'd get mad if I didn't want to adventure anymore."
"I'm sorry. I just… didn't wanna lose you. And that doesn't make it okay. I-I know that." Petra responded. She looked outside, where Radar was still resting his feet in the water after getting them burned during Romeo's challenge.
"I've been thinking a lot about what you said…" Petra continued. "Adventuring is what I'm good at. It's where I belong. Not in Beacontown." She turned around.
"But I don't want to… lose you. You mean a lot to me, Jesse. I-, more than anyone else, you've been there."
Jesse thought about the times before he became famous. About the Endercon building competition, about the Witherstorm. About Sky City, about the White Pumpkin. About PAMA, about the old builders. He did notice that he and Petra were together for almost every single one of those adventures. Petra was right. He was there more than anyone else, so he was not about to change that now. He put his right arm on Petra's armor. (The color of which depends on the choice you made in Episode 2.)
"I'll be right there with you, Petra. If you think your place is out there, then so is mine." Jesse said. Petra couldn't hold her tears in anymore and started crying.
"Thank you." She stuttered, before they hugged each other.
"I always knew you were a big ol' softy." Jesse playfully said to Petra as they hugged.
"You'll never be able to prove it." Petra responded.
"We'll see."
"We'd better get that book back to the portal." Petra said, rubbing her head.
"Right, but before we do. Let's check out what this other thing Fred left behind." Jesse said.
They walked back to the open book case. The other device looked like a special gauntlet. Jesse picked it up. Remembering the incident down at the heckmouth between Beacontown and Champion City, Jesse was hesitant to put it on at first.
"Uh, Jesse. I don't know about this. Why don't we just-" Petra started, but Jesse interrupted her by putting the gauntlet on. A huge blinding flash of white light engulfed the cabin.
Outside, Radar saw the light and immediately stood up and investigated. With Lluna following behind him. (Only if you took her back in Xara's cell.) Once he walked inside the cabin, he saw Petra with her mouth wide open. He looked over to where Jesse was supposed to be standing. Upon seeing what was going on, he fainted.
"I-I. Holy crap Jesse. Do you realize what this means?" Petra asked, shocked. Jesse, confused, turned around and look at himself in the reflection of the window. What he saw almost made him pass out. His eyes were different, they were glowing green with white pupils. His skin was grey, very similar to Romeo and Fred in the posters back at Fred's keep. He looked down and saw that his clothes were different. They had green lines around then. It seemed to be very reminiscent of Jesse's 'Dragonsbane' armor. That's when it hit him.
"Yes, Petra. I do believe I am now an admin." Jesse said, casually.
