Now the members of the Ford family were together, save for one. J.R. walked down the hall with his father en route to the rest of the family. J.R. felt the worry inside him intensify as Jason came into sight, and the look on on his face. J.R. returned his glare with a look of remorse and he hung his head in shame. Jason's face softened and Blythe motioned to him to walk towards J.R. He did, but the awkwardness was all too apparent. J.R. started to say something, but he couldn't find the words. Their father spoke up.

"You should forgive him. He was ill. Whatever was said or done is over.," James said to Jason. Jason sighed and held out his arms as he nodded in agreement with his was right. J.R accepted his gesture and they embraced. J.R. turned to the woman next to James. She looked happy to see him well, and he looked at her in shock as once again recognition kicked in.

"Mom?"

She giggled a little in affirmation and threw her arms around him and kissed his cheek. J.R. took in the shock of hearing her voice well considering last time he saw her she was nearly fifty. He thought to himself that anything must be possible in this place.

Jason and J.R. sat down after the family reunion and watched their parents as they talked to Richard.

"So, when exactly did mom dive into the fountain of youth?," J.R. asked.

"I don't know, I missed that part too. I was getting over the shock of seeing dad."

J.R. shook in his head. "I've gotta get out of here."

"What?"

"Celeste is still at the camp. What if a rescue crew's coming? We're gonna miss it."

James walked over to them. He looked at both of children and knew what was on their minds.

"Do not worry about what you're missing back at the campsite. I can assure you that you have not missed anything. J.R., Celeste will be fine. That is what Richard was talking to me and your mother about. Some of my people just spotted her and she's on the way here. I've given strict orders not to take her here themselves after what happened to your your mother, going to meet Celeste at the gate."

J.R. was taken aback."How do you know about Celeste?"

"Your mother told me."

"Ahh. That makes sense. You're alive, mom's in her twenties, of course you got around to chatting about that.," J.R. said sarcastically raising his hands to emphasize his mood.

James sighed at the agitation and skepticism in J.R.'s voice. He sat down next to children and tried to explain as best he could.

"There are a lot of things that happen here that you will not understand just yet. All I can tell you is that it will make sense eventually. I know how both of you feel."

"None of this 'makes sense' . Nothing about this is logical!," J.R. said.

"You spent a lot of time with your uncle Jack, didn't you?," James asked.

J.R's mind went back with that question, back to the hospital a few months ago. He had been in the operating room for nearly six hours and he had sweating bullets. The surgery was finally complete and the recipient of the surgery, a twelve year old girl hit by a car while she was out playing, was taken out of the operating room to recovery. She wasn't expected to survive her injuries, but somehow she made it through the operation. As soon as he was able, J.R. was out the door in the locker room of the hospital. Another doctor had followed him.

"Are you all right?," The doctor had asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine...it's just, it was kind of intense in there."

"I know."

"I've never seen anyone messed up so bad."

"You'll see worse, trust me. The important thing is you got through it. Surgeries like that will make or break a doctor, and you did it."

"Yeah, I guess I did."

The other doctor's face had formed into a smile.

"I knew you could do it. Come here.," the other doctor had said walking to J.R. and giving him a hug.

"Thanks, Uncle Jack."

"Let's get your first post surgery drink.," Jack offered as they left the room on a happier note.

Now Uncle Jack was gone, instead of the hospital he was in a temple with a man he barely remembered and a mother he barely recognized. He had tried to kill his little brother, and on top of all that Celeste was not with him and all he had was the word of his father that she'd be there soon.

At least one thing James had said was happening in front of J.R.'s eyes as he saw a confused looking Blythe walk into the temple. Richard escorted her in, he had obviously been having a conversation with her as now Celeste had the same skeptical look on her face as he had. Blythe tried to talk to her, but Celeste wasn't having it as she her shook her head at Blythe and backed away.

"Look, I don't know who you are, but you said J.R.'s here. Until I see him you need to get away from me!," J.R. heard Celeste say. J.R. ran up before Celeste had a chance to overly emotional.

"Celeste!," He called out. Celeste turned around and saw him, relief all over her face. He took her into his arms joyfully. After holding her for a moment not saying anything, just standing there in a state of calm despite the chaos around them, he spoke.

"You o.k.?," He asked.

"Yeah, I snuck away from the camp when no one was looking. Carter was talking about everyone coming into the jungle save one person to wait for rescue, to come and try to find you."

"He still think I had something to do with this.," J.R. said in more a statement than question. Celeste shrugged.

"I don't know what to think anymore. He's gone mad.," She said with warning in her voice. She looked around at the people in the temple, including the woman who just claimed to be her future mother-in-law, Jason, and the man standing next to him.

"Speaking of mad, why is that woman saying she's your mom ?," She asked in a hushed voice.

"Because apparently she is. And that guy you keep eying next to Jason is our dad."

"That's impossible.," Celeste murmured.

"I think I'm gonna take that word out of my vocabulary after everything I've seen this week."

Jason walked out and verbalized what everyone was thinking in that moment.

"Good. Great. We're all together. Now what the hell do we do?"
