Prologue

Last time on the Pretender...

Miss Parker and Jarod learn the truth about her mother's death and their half-brother named Ethan. Jarod also helps Miss Parker learn about her hidden gift called her "inner-sense" that Ethan also possesses. After barely surviving an explosion on a subway the three try to get their lives back together. Meanwhile, Jarod learns about the shooting and eventual killing of another pretender, Eddie, who had escaped with him and tries to solve the case that he was working on at the NSA. Through using their inner-sense Miss Parker and Ethan both come up with the letters "T.T." which they find out stands for Dr. Tommy Thompson, a doctor in the pretender project. Thompson was the doctor for a third pretender, Alex, who never escaped and is now the sociopath that Jarod is chasing. From a call to Jarod the NSA track Alex to Thompson's house where they find a dead T.T. and Broots hiding in the closet. Jarod is forced to arrest Broots and make up his alibi. When Jarod goes to stop Alex's next kill, he is forced to takes Broots with him. Broots then tells Jarod that Alex also kidnapped Mr. Parker. With this information in hand Jarod lets Broots off and goes to stop Alex's next kill only to learn that Alex's next victim is Miss Parker. He finds out from Ethan, who had been with Miss Parker, where she went. Alex is about to kill Mr. Parker when Miss Parker notices Jarod in the background and asks Alex a question to stall. This is what happens:

Miss Parker: "For years I've been searching for the secrets that only my father knows, I came to ask him."

Alex: "Well now that is ironic and funny, isn't pops?"

Miss Parker: "Ironic?"

Alex: "You're right about your father knowing all the secrets."

Miss Parker: "And why funny?"

Alex: "He's not your father."

After that Jarod hits Alex from behind and Alex shoots Mr. Parker, but he doesn't die. Jarod then chases Alex to a dead end over the ocean. Alex puts questions into Jarod's head like "Do you really know why the Centre wants you back so much?" and then jumps. Afterward, Jarod and Miss Parker are talking on the phone and she informs them that Broots ever came back, Ethan left, and they never found Alex's body. At that moment they both receive a photo email - a picture of their mothers together. In the final scene we see the sender, Mr. Raines, who says, "We're even, my children."

Was Ethan kidnapped?
