Synopsis[]
William says goodbye to Adrion after buying his groceries at U-Mart. As he walks home, he reflects on a conversation he had years ago with Jane, where he asked her why she chose him out of everyone. Jane explains that she was touched by his words. Having spent a decade of her life fighting and experiencing the most powerful abilities the world has to offer, she learned one thing: “abilities do nothing but bring out the worst in people.” However, she was moved by a book William wrote that she read, stating that even the most powerful people can be moved by genuine words, and that what she loves the most about William is that he always writes from the heart. In the present day, William recalls that after Jane left, he felt lost and blamed himself for being too weak to keep her around and for the fact that John grew up without a mother, but the letter she wrote him gave him the clarity he had been missing. Knowing the three of them deserved to be together as a family, he silently vows to fight for them, no matter what it takes.
After arriving home, William receives a knock on his door. Upon answering, he is faced with a Bureau official named Jude, who rudely enter’s William’s home uninvited along with a female colleague. William states that he never said Jude could come in, but Jude simply glares and ignores the remark, accusing William of leaking Untitled 10 days ago on multiple outlets. William denies any knowledge of it, but Jude doesn’t believe him and says that the Authorities have already warned him after the initial publication of Unordinary, and yet he’s chosen to release it again rather than be thankful for the mercy he was given. William remarks that one story wouldn’t cause such trouble if the Authorities did their jobs properly, but Jude responds by violently grabbing William by the shirt and slamming him into the wall, calling him a filthy cripple with no right to talk back. Now bleeding, William sarcastically asks if he struck a nerve, and Jude condescendingly asks if William’s smugness comes from a belief that Jane’s immunity would protect him, leaving William surprised that Jude knows about Jane’s deal. Jude also reveals to a stunned William that they know he hired Simon to look into Jane’s whereabouts and have already gotten rid of him. Covering William’s mouth, Jude smirkingly informs William that he has conspired to infiltrate and steal sensitive information from a government facility and incited a vigilante uprising, both of which are crimes punishable by death. Realizing Jude has come to kill him, William claims that all he did was publish a book, but Jude begins strangling him and informs him that immunity means one should be thankful to the Bureau for allowing them to live, not be a disobedient fool who throws away his opportunities. With that declaration, Jude murders William in cold blood by driving his hand through the author’s chest. Jude, finding it a waste of his time to have bloodied his hands with someone so weak, cleans the blood off his hand with a handkerchief and orders his colleague to clean the mess up by day’s end.
At his home, Cameron has just finished showering and poured himself a glass of wine when he notices photos of Jane left by William during his recent visit. Shouting for Marisol, he demands to know why she didn’t get rid of them like he ordered her to, but she responds that they seemed important and she wanted him to see them. Despite accusing her of overstepping, Cameron can’t help but be concerned by what the photos show: Jane in a lab, weakened and imprisoned. Cameron calls William, but the phone call goes unanswered.
