"Are you sure we didn't travel to another universe?" Ariadne asks as she leans toward Sydney. Everyone else is trying to catch up on the time missed with each other, but Scott still manages to listen in on Sydney and Ariadne.

"Why do you ask?" Sydney combats Ariadne's question with another question.

"I mean look at those two over there," Ariadne says as she points to Theo and Liam standing on opposite sides of the room and occasionally glancing at each other when the other is not looking, "Where we're from those two refuse to be separated. At least they never mentioned anything about a time when they didn't speak like this. I know they had this whole enemies-to-lovers type deal, but by the time I think we're in, they should be over the enemies arc."

"How do you know so much about them?" Sydney gives Ariadne a questionable look.

"I don't know about you, but Uncle Theo tells me a lot. I love to listen to how Liam and Theo got together, it's like in real-life fanfiction. Plus, my dad is so dramatic when he hears about it. He covers his ears and starts yelling over Uncle Theo, so that also brings me joy," Ariadne explains as she looks over to Theo and Liam glaring at each other, "They look so pathetic honestly. In our time, they're such gay icons. I mean I think they even surpass Ethan and Jackson."

"I just realized that this room is full of people who have supernatural hearing, so they might have heard this conversation," Sydney thinks out loud.

"Come on, Sydney, us pushing up a little gay panic won't ruin the timeline. They just have so much tension there," Ariadne says and then sees Isaac walking up to Scott and Allison across the room, "Speaking of tension, I don't think your other dad is on good terms with your mom and dad."

"Thanks, Captain Obvious," Sydney rolls her eyes.

"This time kinda blows. My parents aren't together. Yours aren't and our uncles are blind."

"Yeah," Sydney says as she looks to her feet wishing she could leave this place.

"Hey, don't worry," Ariadne says as she puts a hand on Sydney's shoulder, "we'll get out of here. Our parents are great at fixing things in our time, there's a great chance they must be good now."

"Look at them," Sydney exclaims in a whisper as she looks around the room, "They are all separated one way or another. We cannot possibly fight two villains at once like this."

Ariadne had no idea how to respond.

"Scott, did you hear what he said?" Allison asks Scott who looks like he is zoning out.

"What?"

"I," Isaac looks to Allison for reassurance and she nods her head, "I was wondering if we could talk. All three of us."

"Sure."

Scott, Isaac, and Allison go off to separate themselves from the others. The door to the bedroom closes and Isaac lets out a sigh before speaking, "I just need some clarification I guess. I know it's been a bit, but I still have some questions, and before we might possibly die, again, I just need answers."

"Okay," Scott says softly, understanding the complications of the situation.

Isaac shifts awkwardly and looks at Allison.
"Did you ever love me?"

Allison was shocked by the question but knew that before her death she might have made a mess of things by telling Scott that she loved him.

"Yes."
That was all Allison could mutter.

"But you told Scott you loved him?"

"Yes. I loved you both. I still love you both."

Scott's vision shifted from Isaac to Allison. He was not jealous nor was he even a little upset.
