An hour later, Jack, Fargo, Henry, and Grace met in the infirmary with Allison. Zane and Jo were given a clean bill of health; however, Jo had unexpectedly fallen asleep before Allison cleared her. No one had the heart to wake her after what had occurred in GD, so she slept peacefully. Zane, however, occupied the bed beside her, rather than joining the conversation.

"Zane came a future five years ahead of us. 2015. In his time, his conversion test failed. In the first test, Jo was killed. He came back here to this time, to stop Jo from dying." Jack explained.

"But how is that possible?" Allison asked.

"Zane used Perkin's machine to travel back. And he made precise adjustments to keep the two timeline from converging on each other." Henry explained.

Jack looked over to Jo. "Zane said Jo's death affected everyone in Eureka. After watching what could've happened to her, I'd have to agree with him."

"So what does mean for the timeline?" Fargo asked.

"Doctor Blake!"

Allison turned. She rushed to the worker. They stood by Zane's body. Allison looked into the bag to find it completely empty. Neither ash nor body lay inside the bag. Nothing.

Henry looked into the bag. "It means that Zane never existed. Nor did anything that happened after Jo's death."

"It's a new timeline." Jack said.

The early end of the day found Jack sitting in his living room. His shirt was unbuttoned and un-tucked from his pants. He had a beer in one hand while he stared at the flash drive in the other. After everything that had happened over the past two day, Carter wondered what Zane would leave them.

His thoughts were interrupted when the doorbell rang.

"Allison Blake is at the door." S.A.R.A.H. said.

"Let her in." Jack said.

The front door opened. Allison entered the house. She pulled off her coat and set it down. Allison spotted Carter on the couch and walked over to him.

"You alright?" Allison asked.

Jack nodded. "Yeah. Just debating on hearing Zane's message."

"It may answer the questions we never asked." Allison said.

"If you would like, I can relay the message for you, Jack." S.A.R.A.H. offered.

"Yeah. Thanks Sarah." Jack said. He rose from the couch and placed the flash drive in one of the ports. Jack walked back to the couch and sat down, wrapped his arm around Allison's shoulder.

Zane's face appeared on the screen. He pushed his hair out of his face.

"Hey Jack. If you're watching this, than everything I came here to do has been done. I'm sure you tried to stop me, but like always the genius won."

Jack chuckled.

"I know that not everything makes sense at the moment. And I'm sorry for not explaining everything to you in person, but there wasn't enough time. So I'm leaving this is hope that it'll explain what I couldn't. If I've done my job right, Jo's alive right now and I won't exist. By now, my bodies probably disappeared from Allison's infirmary. Sorry for the confusion there.

Zane's face became serious. "I'm sure you tried to stop me, Jack. Tried to convince me to find another way to save Jo without doing what I did. But five years of research was telling me this was the only way."

Jack shook his head. "He's lying."

Allison turned her head. "How can you tell?"

"Well, maybe not. But I couldn't go back to my time where Jo's still gone. This way was the only way I could see her again, Jack. I'm not sure if you understand that."

"More than you know." Jack said.

"Do me a favor, Jack. Keep an eye on them for me. You know how stubborn Jo and I are. Just make sure we don't kill each other."

Jack nodded.

"Thank for everything Jack. Bye Jack. Bye Allison." Zane's face faded from the screen.

Jack leaned his head on Allison's head.
