Lying in bed, not able to sleep, again his thoughts turned to his lost "son" and what he had done in the name of keeping up appearances. Yes, he had pointed a gun at John. He had no other choice with all those agents standing there witnessing the return of one of Ultra's most wanted. Then he pulled the trigger. If it had hit it's mark and killed John, well, Jedikiah didn't want to think about that. Luckily, amazingly, surprisingly, John escaped. Not sure how that happened, maybe Stephen inherited his father's time stopping ability? Saving John just as Roger saved him? Deep down he was relieved.
Now another confrontation, this time he instigated it. Partially wanting to check up on John again, make sure he knew of the danger ... that Killian was looking for him. It was good to see him. Jedikiah was sincere in offering a truce. He wanted to work with John again.
"He'll shred you alone, kid."
"That's a win for you" ... Ugh, that kid! John said it in such a matter-of-fact way. How can he be so flippant about his life?
"I am not your son." Oh John, you are. Maybe not by birth, but as he told John, he saved his life and raised him, protected him.
When Jedikiah deployed the Alpha team to take care of Killian and John, he decisively gave the order, but with a hope that John's ability to survive would win out. Luckily, it did. It shouldn't have surprised him. John is a survivor.
