"We need to talk." Allison said to Luther, dragging him to the corner before the next one would start, ignoring the looks of everyone else.
"What's the matter?" Luther asked her, confused.
"It's all of these videos, the memories we both have now from all of this, and what we saw in the last episode. I'm sorry, Luther, I really am, but-"
"-But you can't do this anymore?" Luther said sadly, giving her a sad smile.
"How did you know?" Allison asked him, shocked.
"Because it's the same for me. Seeing all of this, seeing you look so happy with your husband in another time, remembering my other self being with that girl, I saw us together, but other than the last day, I don't recall it, that day that wasn't, I don't remember. I don't want you to be unhappy, Allison." Luther told her earnestly. "I don't want to hurt you."
"I don't want to hurt you either." Allison agreed, feeling tears in her eyes. "I lied, before, about that rumour, I didn't rumour Patrick into loving me." She confessed, feeling she had to get it out of the way, she had to admit the truth.
"I know it was me." Luther told her. "I knew from the moment I heard it, and I don't know if it's still the rumour, or if it's my own feelings now, but I do love you, Allison. I love you enough to let you go." He said, wiping a tear from his own eye as he did.
Allison couldn't stop them rolling down her cheeks, she didn't understand how Luther could be so understanding about this, why didn't he hate her? Even with the rumour, he should be pissed at her, did he genuinely not care about it? Did he truly love her, even without it?
"I-Thank you, Luther." She said eventually, her breath hitching as she did, wiping her eyes, she rejoined the others, as Vanya and Klaus moved to her, wrapping their arms around her, cuddling into her, offering their support.
Luther sat down himself, with Diego patting his shoulder as they geared up for the next episode to begin.
The episode opened to show Hazel shooting the Handler at the motel again, before turning to show two men wheeling her body towards a crematorium furnace, talking, before realising that she wasn't dead and they needed to call it in.
"HOW IS SHE ALIVE?!" Five raged as the others looked confused, before a dark cloud passed over his face. "Wait, why is it showing her now? Why not later?"
"I don't know, but how did she survive a gunshot to the head?" Diego wondered.
"Maybe she's an immortal robot?" Klaus joked.
"Wouldn't put it past her." Five muttered, deciding to let the matter go, for now. But he would be making sure she was dead sometime soon.
"Three Months later" flashed up, as The Handler returned to Commission HQ, amid whispers, to find she had been replaced and was allowed to return, but under a demotion, for allowing Five and the Hargreeves to derail the apocalypse so much and escape.
"Well, serves her right for trying to kill us all." Luther stated.
"Her having a breakdown would be fitting." Pogo stated. "She seems a very angry woman."
"Herb is your new...supervisor."
"Herb is a pretty nice guy, from what I've seen." Five admitted.
"This is a joke, right? I've dropped turds bigger than Herb."
"Justice for Herb!" Klaus called out as Ben nodded. Poor Herb.
Herb showed the Handler to her new desk, opening the draw, she screamed and threw the name on the desk-plate at the door, narrowly missing taking off Herb's head but cutting him, as the name read "Mr. Five"
"I see she has some anger issues concerning you, Five." Vanya told him, mirth in her voice as he grinned back.
"Glad I could help her."
Luther tried to brush Five off as Five tried to rally him to help stop the apocalypse, Luther explaining that he worked for Jack Ruby and he was a good friend, Five remarking "that gorilla DNA has finally taken over your mind."
"Low blow." Klaus said as Luther glared at Five, who simply met his glare with a cool look of his own.
"I stand by my words if this is the attitude you would take." Five told him, as Luther sighed. He could see Five's point, even if he felt like he had given enough already.
Five apologised, that Luther saw Pogo die, the world end and was marooned, Luther telling him that they never needed him, and if Five wanted to save the world, find Vanya, she probably causes it.
"Harsh." Allison said, glaring at Luther.
"I didn't say it!" Luther protested.
"You clearly think it, this version of you has all the memories you do, just an added two years in Dallas, having nothing to do with any of us." Allison told him.
"Fine, but can you blame me? Vanya did cause the last one."
"We all know it was a mixture of us all, none of us were blameless with that one." Vanya spat back at him.
"Yeah, I can't argue with that." Luther admitted, bowing his head in shame at what he had done.
Carl began ranting about communists as Luther forced him out of the bar, everyone laughing at Carl as he went. Five watching, said "Dad should have left him on the Moon." before noticing the tape that Hazel had placed in his pocket. A sticker on it read "11/22/63 Frankel Footage"
"Poor guy, needs to lay off the drink though." Allison sighed.
"Dick." Luther glared at Five, who shrugged.
"I've been called worse."
"Footage of the day Kennedy died?" Diego asked sharply, noting the date.
Vanya looked over more missing person ads, hoping somebody was looking for her as Sissy approached her, asking if she had seen her keys, Vanya offering to go collect Carl from the bar where he was, letting Sissy stay with Harlan.
"Luther is going to see me, isn't he?" Vanya asked, realising he would still be at the bar.
"I'm sure I won't." Luther said, worried he may lash out at her if he did.
Diego and Lila moved through the streets, grabbing clothes and changing, Diego saying they had to split, Lila saying they made a good team and should stay together, hugging as a cop drove by, trying to hide, before Lila stole a nearby car and hotwired it.
"Forgot Patch pretty quickly there?" Klaus said, wiggling his eyebrows as Diego punched his arm, now he could recall her death in the other timeline, it was even more raw for him.
"Don't ever joke about that, once this is all over, I'm gonna lay my cards on the table to her, tell her exactly how I feel." Diego promised, more to himself than anyone else.
Vanya picks Carl up, reassuring him that Sissy loves him as he says she is lucky to have no memories, as Luther follows, having found Carl's wallet on the ground, seeing them driving away, Luther is shocked to see Vanya is in Dallas.
"Oh no, what are you going to do?" Klaus asked.
"Nothing good, I fear." Luther said.
The three Swedes drove their van to a home, following a Commission tip about Allison, as Allison and Raymond laid there, the police came in, arresting Raymond for assault of the landlord, Allison going to rumour them but letting it go, as the police threaten to arrest her too if she doesn't back away. The Swedes watch all this occur, before driving away, deciding there was too much attention to attack her then.
"Not using your powers to help your husband?" Diego wondered.
"Do you really blame me, after what happened last time I used them?" Allison asked, rubbing her throat, Diego winced.
"Sorry, I forgot about that."
"I don't blame you, it never happened really, did it?" Allison pondered as Diego shrugged.
Five asked Elliot about developing the Frankel footage before hearing that Diego had escaped, Elliot asked who Diego was.
"What if he looks at the footage, won't it set him off?" Luther asked.
"He already thinks I'm an alien, so probably not." Five reasoned.
"Imagine Batman, then aim lower." Five explained as he headed off to find his brother.
"I'm nothing like Batman!" Diego protested as Klaus snickered at him.
Diego and Lila sat in a car, discussing the plan to capture Lee Harvey Oswald and cut off his fingers before he could kill JFK, Lila advocating just killing Oswald, before Five appeared in the back, demanding Diego come with him and ditch Lila or he would alert the police.
"I'll admit it would be a good plan, if you were going through with it. You know I won't let you, JFK dies, that is history, we aren't changing the timeline as that almost certainly is the reason WW3 happens." Five explained to Diego, talking as if he was addressing a child.
"Well what if we could change it, make it better, save a good man from an unjust fate?" Diego tried to argue back.
"Then we end the world, again." Five simply told him, shutting him up.
Lila said Five was bluffing as Diego scanned his face, saying he was not. Diego insisted he was bringing Lila with him though.
"I don't see why you want to bring an unknown into all of this, but I'm glad you realise I'm not bluffing." Five gave Diego a toothy grin, causing Diego to shudder.
Allison was at Dallas PD, asking where her husband was, before seeing a man dragged by the cops into the holding cells, as the man landed in the cell, he noticed Klaus in there with him, identifying himself as a follower of Klaus' teaching and begging for guidance, Klaus moving to get away from him and telling to meditate at the spot where Klaus was just sat.
"So, you have a cult then?" Allison asked Klaus.
"Probably, if anyone of us was going to somehow form a cult, it'd probably be me." Klaus admitted.
As Klaus slumped against the bars, he had a talk about Shakespeare and literature with Raymond, before being released, telling Raymond he would speak about the plight of locked up black people with his friend the Texan governor the next chance he got, leaving his disciple behind.
"That's really kind of you, Klaus." Vanya smiled at him.
"Well I can't be a bad guy on this issue, can I? I come from a more enlightened time." Klaus said sardonically, as the others shook their head at his antics.
Five, Lila and Diego returned to Elliot, as he brandished a shotgun at them, having seen the Frankel footage, asking if they were enemies of the people, Diego and Five deliberated that it depended on the people, Elliot threatening to kill them, before Five jumped and Diego disarmed him.
"Well, I can see why he would ask that, it really does depend on who the people are in this case whether or not we're enemies of them." Five reasoned.
"Surprised that Lila didn't see you jump to take him down." Allison stated.
They watched the Frankel footage, seeing it showed JFK's assassination, as Five explained Hazel sacrificed himself to get them the footage. Rewinding and pausing the footage, they saw a man, watching the events unfold calmly, as if he expected them. Focusing on it, they saw Reginald Hargreeves.
"HOW ARE YOU INVOLVED?!" Five thundered, turning to Reginald.
"I have no idea what lunacy this screen is showing us now." Reginald told them. "I had nothing to do with JFK at all."
"Don't bullshit us." Diego snarled. "What did you have to do with the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy?"
"Number Two, cease this lunacy at once, I have never had any contact with former President Kennedy nor am I complicit in this farcical affair in any way." Reginald spat, trying to end the conversation, as Diego glared daggers at him.
The scene changed to show the Swedes answering an ad for a spare room, looking at one another.
"That poor woman." Ben frowned as Klaus nodded to him, also frowning.
Vanya and Sissy were playing hide and seek with Harlan as Luther approached the farm, remembering what Vanya had done the last time he saw her, he got out of the car, hiding his gun behind him, and went to confront her.
"You're lucky I don't have any memories in this." Vanya told Luther. "If I did, you know I'd be pissed to see you."
"Would you?" Luther asked her, as she looked into his eyes and softly admitted.
"No. I'd be overjoyed my family survived, even with everything that happened."
"That's because you're better than us, Vanya. At least where it counts." Allison told her, causing Vanya to blush.
She asked if he knew her, with him begging her to stop this act, when she apologised and said she had no memories, he asked her to stay back, she apologised if she had hurt him, he told her "You shouldn't be the one to apologise."
"Aww Luther!" Klaus cheered, getting up and heading over to him, as Luther tried to back away, Klaus backed him into a corner and threw his arms around the bigger guy, the rest of the siblings laughing as Luther's discomfort as Klaus refused to let go, eventually Allison and Vanya headed over to join in the hug, as Five and Diego watched on, and Luther just sank into it, letting it happen.
Vanya asked him what he had done to her, as Luther explained he tried to help everyone but made it all worse, saying he never wanted to be the bad guy, when Sissy held a gun to him, Luther explained he was there to return Carl's wallet before leaving.
"I hope you don't leave my other self there." Vanya said to Luther with a frown.
"She doesn't know me, I'll probably think it's safer, both for her and the world, to leave her where she is." Luther reasoned, Vanya nodded, seeing the sense in that at least.
The Swedes took turns attacking one another, before they got another message with where to find Vanya, before it revealed they had decapitated the women who lived in the house.
"Vanya protection squad, go!" Klaus called, crouching into a kung fu stance as Vanya rolled her eyes.
"I feel more worried for them than me, especially if they trigger my powers." Vanya told him.
Diego and Five argued about what Reginald was doing at the assassination, before Diego advocated they murder Reginald before he could help kill JFK, Five saying they had to plan and had to know more, stopping the apocalypse was the priority. They used the phonebook to find where Reginald would be, deciding they could leave Elliot tied up.
"So, want to explain what you were doing there, Dad?" Diego glared as Reginald returned the look, ignoring him.
Diego went to talk to Lila, who was worried she was losing her mind again, as Diego calmed her down, saying just because they didn't conform to what everyone else thought, didn't make them crazy, he promised to return, asking her to stay with Elliot.
"So, what do you think is up with Lila?" Klaus asked Diego, who shrugged.
"I don't know, but if we ever do end up there, I'll try my best to help her, she seems nice, in a weird way." Diego told him.
Five just frowned, he had seen her type before. Liar. What was she upto, why was she lying to Diego?
Allison spoke to Raymond about what they were going to do, as she left, she noticed Klaus' disciple with the hand tattoos, asking if the prophet had a name.
"Are we going to meet?" Klaus asked, wiggling his eyebrows as Allison, who laughed.
"Would it be a bad thing to see me?" She asked in mock shock, putting her hands on her hips as Klaus shot her a quick smile.
"Well it seems I've thought you were all dead for three years, so I'm sure I'll be very happy to see you."
Klaus was shown to be stumbling into a mansion, breaking in and telling Ben to be quiet as Ben berated Klaus on his recent actions, as Klaus pulled a cover off a painting to use as a sheet, turning from the painting, Ben asked if Klaus couldn't bear to see the face in it, the camera revealing a portrait of Klaus, that the mansion was his.
"Definitely landed on your feet, Master Klaus." Pogo noted.
"Seems I have lucked out, shame I clearly hate myself." Klaus said lightly.
Vanya and Sissy discussed that Luther was a rough type and that Vanya wouldn't associate with him, if he hurt her, it's good she was away from him. Sissy assured her that her memories would return one day, they couldn't try rush it. Sissy checked out her hands, saying Vanya wasn't accustomed to rough manual labour like Luther would be, as Vanya slept, she was hit by memories of her powers, of playing the violin, of sucking the life force out of Luther, heading out for a drive to clear her head.
"I'm sure my other self is confused and scared, I just hope she doesn't run into those crazy Swedes whilst she's out." Vanya remarked.
At Reginald's factory, Five and Diego explored, Five finding an invite to a party in a few days at the Mexican Consulate before finding a room belonging to a baby chimp who had wrote "Pogo" on the board. Seeing Pogo, he tried to gently coax him out before Pogo attacked him and escaped.
"Damn Pogo!" Five said, seeing it on screen.
"I apologise, Master Five." Pogo said, looking abashed. "In my defence, this is a different timeline, you've changed all of this, and I certainly do not recall these events."
"It's not your fault even if it was this timeline, baby you is clearly scared." Klaus butted in as Five glared at him.
Diego followed Reginald out of the building and down a few streets before Reginald turned, they fought, Reginald quickly began overpowering him, as Diego began to get the upper hand however, Reginald stabbed him and walked away, taking Pogo's hand and disappearing into the night as Diego fell to the floor, bleeding out as the screen turned to black once more.
"You absolute fucker!" Diego yelled, charging and swinging his fists towards Reginald, who stood, preparing to defend himself.
Who will win the fight? Find out next time!
