"Where did they go?" Allison asked, once Andy was gone and everything was quiet. Jack looked around, before going to the ladder and climbing up it. He pressed against the trap door, but to no avail.

"To have their brains wiped."

"Wiped?" Allison cried, turning to look at him. He nodded, not looking at her.

"What the hell happened here?" A voice broke through the wood, and Jack pounded harder.

"Jack? Jack!"

It was Jo.

"Jack?" Suddenly he realized that the second voice belonged to Zane. And he didn't sound happy.

"We're down here! There's something covering the trap door!" He called. They heard the sound of whatever had fallen being moved, followed by the shuffling of books or papers. Moments later, the trap door opened and he looked into Jo's eyes. She held out a hand, not bothering to mask the worry in her eyes. She helped him up, quickly ran her hands along his cheeks and chest, making sure he was okay before letting him help Allison.

"I can get out myself." She replied, climbing up and pulling away from him.

"Are you okay?" Jo asked, running her hands along his cheeks in a worried way.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said, taking her waist and kissing her quickly. She relished in the kiss, relieved that she was okay.

"When I got your message-"

"You have to be kidding me. You two- I don't believe it. I can't." They looked up, Zane backed away from them, putting two and two together.

"Believe it." Allison said, wrapping her arms around herself. She glared at Jo, who glanced her way before turning to Zane.

"We were going to wait until it was the right time to tell you." Zane scoffed.

"Right Jo. The right time. Is this what you were trying to tell me at the cafe? That you were seeing Carter?" He demanded.

"We aren't seeing each other. We're... we're together. We're in love." Jo replied.

"In love? With Carter?" Zane said.

"Yes. With Carter! I'm in love with Carter! We've been together four years- ever since Senator Wen called off the search- even before! Okay?" She snapped, turning back to the sheriff. Jack wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. Two sets of footsteps entered the garage, sending everyone on edge.

"We just got your message, Jo. Sorry we couldn't be here sooner, we- Whoa. What the heck happened here?" Holly asked, looking around the building.

"Carter stole my girlfriend." Zane said, gesturing to the two in uniform.

"We have bigger issues, Zane!" Jack shouted.

"What issues?" Fargo asked.

"The Andys took Henry and Grace." He replied. "And we need to figure out how to keep them from getting their brains wiped."

Everyone fell silent for several minutes, thinking of how to get them out. Holly broke the silence.

"I think I have an idea!"

The car pulled up in front of GD. Jack looked out at the forboding building, worrying that their plan wouldn't work. He took his gaze away when someone laid his hand on his arm. Jo gave him a small smile.

"It'll work, Jack. Trust me." He took her hand, squeezing. Then, he leaned over and captured her lips in a kiss that he refused to break. Eventually, though he did. She gave him another quick kiss as she climbed out of the car. "Break a leg."

The plan had to work. It had to. Everyone was in their places, the curtain was raised- so to speak- and everything was beginning. Slowly. Fargo and Holly had placed the firewall, while Carter and Allison distracted Andy. Meanwhile, after Zane and Jo managed to get the firewall down and shut down S.A.R.A.H and the Andys, he decided to say exactly what was on his mind.

"I can't believe you let Carter steal you from me. After all, you got over my untimely death pretty quickly." He said as they landed near GD. Jo groaned, turning to him.

"I'm sorry you found out that way, but I did nothing wrong. Carter didn't steal me from you. I needed somebody and so did he. Okay? We helped each other... Carter... I helped him and he helped me. And it... it evolved. I fell in love, Zane. That's not a crime. I'm sorry if you can't see that." She settled back in the seat, refusing to look at him.

He sighed, running a hand over hsi face. He landed the flyer in front of GD. "Jo-"

As soon as the doors opened, Jo was outside and heading towards headquarters.
