Four Months later, Maximum Security Prison, Texas.
Jeff is placed inside the incubating chamber, where he's about to receive his death sentence at the Maximum, Security Prison in Texas. A priest stands alongside Jeff and asks if he would like to say any last words. Jeff doesn't acknowledge. Harry looks on in trying to show any emotion for his elder brother, who is in the comfort of second wife Bethany. Emma sits hand in hand with her now husband, Christopher. Jeff hopes that Christopher would at least show at least a tear for his father, but he holds his nerve, for the sake of his wife. Jeff realizes that the crimes he committed, was in fact by his own hands and acted to aid and abet an international criminal in Hassam Luka. Jeff knows the real reason, why he acted the way he did and only he knows his fate now and if he dies fighting, the Cosmo's would have won. Is it better that, he accepts death to protect Harry or is Jeff dying a risk for his younger sibling? Police Guards begin the execution process, as Jeff's family watches on, not knowing whether to cry or not to care. Emma knows her feelings clearly.
'Go to hell, Wilson,' Emma whispers.
Bethany looks to Harry. Harry is in a world of his own, about to lose his only brother. Jeff lays strapped down like a monstrous animal ready to be put down. Jeff only can look up and pray, that in the heap of the moment, somebody will save his bacon. The screen goes blank.
FOUR AND HALF MONTHS EARLIER
It's Friday December 21st 2001, thousands gather near 'Ground Zero,' for a peace gathering as they begin to mourn for their loved ones, who they are about to have their first Christmas without. Snow falls down from the sky's as a choir sings to all that's attending and many people are holding candles. Firemen, Medics and Police Officers pray for their heroes. In the memorial is Harry, Bethany, Rebecca, Jeff, Christopher, Emma, Otto, Abraham, Elaina and Andy. Jeff glares at Harry and Bethany holding hands and Bethany insists that she understands how Harry felt about Tina and that Jeff should back off and that she accepts that Harry wants to make his final peace with his first love, before he continues on with his life. After the prayers and a few words by the mayor, Otto and the new state governor, they play the 'American National Anthem.'
Later, Jeff apologizes for how he's reacted to Harry and Bethany getting married and that he accepts Bethany as his sister in law. Bethany accepts, considering the mouthful Jeff gave her the night, Harry was away attending a dinner with the president. Jeff looks at her much to say, what are you talking about? Jeff shrugs this off, before heading home, clutching his head.
Christmas Eve, Abraham receives a surprise visitor at his doorstep. His estranged father, Brendan, who he hasn't seen in twenty years. Abraham still resents his father for the way he treated his mother and that he never paid his last respects for her at her funeral.
'I was there,' Brendan claims.
'Oh yeah?' Abraham queries. 'Well, I didn't see you.'
'I shared my last moments with your Ma Ma, after you left the service,' Brendan explains. 'I figured I'd be the last person, you'd want there and to spare the humiliation, I waited 'til you left.'
'How noble of you,' Abraham sarcastically replies. 'Did you find forgiveness?'
'Don't be like this son,' Brendan pleads. 'All I want to do, is set the record straight and get to know my grandson.'
'Yeah, well, I'm gonna put my record straight, get the hell out of my apartment, because I have nothing more to say to you,' Abraham demands.
'You make it sound so easy for you to hate me,' Brendan adds.
'You stole my mothers savings, her life's worth, just so you could pay off your gambling debts,' Abraham rages. 'It's probably what could have killed her!'
'There's not a day goes by, that I don't regret what I did,' Brendan explains. 'I'm ashamed and embarrassed and you have every right to feel resentment towards me, but I've had twenty years to try and put things right and I realize that hiding isn't one of them.'
Brendan takes a picture of himself and Abraham, when Abraham was a boy.
'I've looked at this photograph every day of my life and I miss, what you have now with...'
'Andy.'
'Please son, at least let me stick around until after Christmas, just so I can get to know my grandson, then I can let you decide, where we go from here,' Brendan said.
'Where you staying?' Abraham asks.
'Bed and Breakfast, few blocks from here.'
'We'll get your things, you can stay here with us.'
Rebecca introduces Amber to Harry and Bethany. Chris and Emma inform Otto and Jeff, that the wedding will be in five weeks time.
Bethany quietly pulls the router out from under the bed and looks to her laptop, but is hesitant to connect it and is almost caught with it in her possession and she quickly hides it under her bed.
Jeff is working on a case when the phone rings. Jeff drops the phone and in trance walks out of the office mumbling a familiar reference, used in Season Four and Season Five. 'The Moon And The Stars, The Moon and The Stars.' Abraham spots Jeff exiting the precinct and tries to distract him from him, but Abraham can hear him mumbling to himself and cannot make out, what he's saying.
Next Day, Brendan spends a family Christmas get together with his son, Abraham, his daughter in law, Elaina and grandson, Andy. Abraham makes a phone call to Harry and points out, that Jeff was acting really weird, the night before and it looked as if Jeff was suffering a mental breakdown. After Harry hangs, there is a knock on the door and it's Jeff, with a bottle of champagne and acting really joyful. Harry is confused.
Chris also notices Jeff is not himself, when he has Christmas dinner, with him, Emma and Otto.
Emma later calls Rebecca and wishes her a happy Christmas.
'I miss you,' Rebecca calls.
'I miss you too,' Emma smiles. 'You and Amber seem to be getting on fine.'
'Yeah it's cool,' Rebecca answers, knowing in truth she is in love with Emma.
'It must feeling comforting, that you're spending your first Christmas with your father,' Emma says.
'It is,' Rebecca agrees. 'I wish I could have spent it with Mom too, but Bethany's been great.'
'You're great too,' Emma states. 'You'll make a perfect maid of honour.'
'And you the perfect wife. You and Chris are great together,' Rebecca claims.
After exchanging a few more words, they hang up and Rebecca is brought to tears.
It's the middle of the night, Bethany watches Harry sleep and she takes the router from under the bed and plugs it in, and takes out a disk that came with it. Bethany doesn't know whether to log on or continue to ignore, what she is aware of.
Middle of the night, Jeff is seen throwing a bag down a drain into a sewer. Jeff jumps into his car and he receives a phone call from an anonymous caller, who informs him that the contents are on the way. Jeff turns to Hassam Luka and assures him, that everything is taken care of and they drive off.
