Special Guest Star:
Art Malik as Hassam Luka.
Jeff is annoyed that his brother Harry, sneakily went and married Bethany Morrison, without informing the family and it's only been two and a half months since Tina passed away. Harry insists that he has fallen madly in love with Bethany. Jeff tells Harry to listen to himself and thinks that Bethany has forced him into marriage. Harry demands that Jeff minds his own business or he keep away. Jeff thinks that Harry is suffering a mental breakdown and points out that Bethany can never replace the love of his life, Tina. Harry is adamant, that Bethany can make him happy and that he has to let go of Tina at some point. Before leaving, Jeff suggests that Harry marrying Bethany, is just a way of trying to make it easy on himself, by not grieving for Tina so much.
Christopher thanks Elaina for standing up for him, against the 'New York Post,' and Elaina receives a source that Christopher's future father in law, Otto is to have dinner with the president and encourages him to ask to tag along and get an interview. Christopher assures Elaina that it's been taken care of.
Bethany receives a package personally, by a stranger in a secure place and she opens it and discovers a router and a message. 'Whenever you're ready, we'll talk. Love you always, C x.'
Bethany hides it in the trunk of her car and Jeff stands across the street watching her.
Abraham tries to get through to his wife, Elaina and profusely apologizes and insists that even if Andy wasn't his, nothing would have changed. Elaina cries and says that she wants an honest marriage and that, if they he wants the marriage to work, he has to be honest and not go behind her back. Abraham declares his love for Elaina.
Otto warns Chris, not to ask stupid questions, when interviewing the President Of The United States.
Harry informs Bethany that he's going aboard Air Force One to meet the President along with Otto, for dinner and may be gone for the evening. Bethany assures Harry, she'll keep their bed warm.
Rebecca meets a girl called Amber and they hit it off really well, which is a relief to Emma, who assures Rebecca they are still best friends and that Rebecca will still be her maid of honour. .
When Harry, Otto and Christopher leave for Washington, Bethany pulls out the router and it's a very unusual one. There is a knock on the door and Bethany hides the router under the bed. She opens it and it's Jeff.
'If you don't already know, Harry has gone to Washington,' Bethany adds.
'I didn't come here to speak to Harry, I'm here, because I wanna know how you did it?' Jeff asks.
'Do what?' Bethany shrugs.
'Force him into a marriage, when his first wife has been barely six feet under three months?' Jeff groans.
'Not that it's any of your business Jeff, we love each other and we decided this on our own,' Bethany claims.
Jeff laughs.
'What's so funny?' Bethany frowns.
'You know what, I'll give him credit for not being so naïve, but there's more to this than meets the eye,' Jeff suspects.
'Believe what you want, he's my husband,' Bethany argues. 'What happened to Tina was a tragedy, but he has to move on. Even Rebecca and myself are getting along fine.'
'You are still that pathetic child we all knew from twenty two years ago,' Jeff tuts. 'You realize that Tina's out of the way and you wait a couple of weeks and you have your high school crush right where you want him.'
'I've done nothing to you Jeff, so why are you being so cruel?' Bethany yells. 'All I've done is rescue your brother from his depression.'
'More like rescue yourself,' Jeff replies.
'How do you make that out?'
'You tried to compete for Harry in high school and you never got him. Just shows, you've been waiting two decades for Tina to move aside to make it easy for you,' Jeff explains. 'Believe me, Bethany, there is no competition. Tina is out of your league, you'll never replace her.'
'Your really have it in for me don't you?' Bethany realizes.
'Just admit it Bethany, you are doing it all for your benefit.'
'From what I heard, you've been quite a family man and hero around this city,' Bethany points out. 'It's hard to believe with all the verbal I've just taken. You are just to quick to jump the gun and you obviously have some personal issues of your own, so I suggest you leave and go home and look in the mirror and take a good look at to who the real asshole is...I love Harry and if you think that I've come here just to spite a dead woman, I call that defamation of character.'
Bethany has the last word and Jeff storms out, leaving Bethany in tears.
Jeff returns home and fixes himself a drink, when there's a knock on the door. He goes to answer it.
Aboard Air Force One, everybody discusses the progress in Afghanistan and war on terror and praises Otto and the mayor for their efforts following September 11th. Chris is allowed his interview with the president and he foolishly asks, how and when they will find a cure for the detained and quarantined Cosmo's meta humans? The president is adamant that it's top secret. Chris points out that his former step mother got infected and became a vampire and was executed back in 2000 and it frightened him to think that so many ordinary people, had to pay for what the escaped and unknown Cosmo's leader created and left behind, just so she could scam the government. He also references his cousin Jack, who's been missing for over two years. The president takes in Chris's words. Later the president is interrupted that an Al Qaeda terrorist has also been discovered as part of another plot and may have already infiltrated the country. His name is Hassam Luka.
Bethany receives comfort from her step daughter Rebecca, as she feels threatened by Jeff. Bethany is happy that Rebecca has found a nice girl in Amber, but Rebecca has eyes on somebody else, Emma.
The president pulls his secretary of defence aside and insists they put out all stops to find the runaway leader of the Cosmo's as the president figures that the fugitive, may know more on the cure than Vincent Simpson knew of and that it will stop Terrorists, using the infected to attack America.
Hassam Luka is sat in a derelict house in Massachusetts and Jeff Wilson comes in.
'And who the hell are you?' Hassam wonders.
'The perfect cover up,' Jeff whispers.
'Does this mean I'm not under arrest?' Hassam figures, stunned.
'Let's just say, I'm doing this more for more my issues than yours,' Jeff begins. 'As long as you get what you came for and what I came for, then we can all live happily ever after.'
'An American helping me. How do I know, this isn't a trap?' Hassam adds.
'Are we allies or not?' Jeff counters.
Jeff helping a wanted terrorist?
Spoiler: A twist involving Jeff's intent on helping a terrorist is revealed half way through the season.
