As Hank, Hope, Aaron, and Bobbi followed Janet as they trekked in the woods, Aaron and Bobbi couldn't help but think that Janet knew more than she let on.

Hope: (to Janet) What was that back there, Mom?

Hank: What was that ship looking for?

Janet: Keep your voice down.

Hope: You said there was nothing down here. Why didn't you tell us about all of this?

Janet: Hope, I will explain everything, but right now, I just need you to trust me.

Aaron: Well, you're not exactly giving us a reason to trust you, Janet.

Janet stopped and turned around to face Aaron.

Janet: What is that supposed to mean?

Hank: Hey, let's just calm down, alright? We can talk about this...

Janet: We don't have time to talk, Henry.

Hope: No, you need to tell us what's...

Janet: (to Hope) And why didn't you listen? I told you to stay away from here.

Hank: Janet, I...I'm so sorry. I should have told you what we were doing. I had no idea...

Janet: I know. It's...We'll talk later. Right now, we stick together, we find Scott, Cassie, and Charlotte, and we go home. Okay?

Hank: (to Hope) Okay?

Hope: Okay.

Aaron: Okay.

Bobbi: Okay.

Janet: Okay. Stay close. (turns to Aaron) And I can't stress this enough, but under no circumstances can you use your speed.

Aaron: Why? Would it kill me if I use it down here?

Janet: Probably. Better not take the risk.

Bobbi looked at Janet suspiciously. She figured that Janet was only telling Aaron part of the truth, not all of it.

Aaron knew that Janet wasn't being truthful, but decided not to say anything since he got bigger problems right now.

The five of them continued walking.

Hank: This is incredible. I've studied the Quantum Realm for years. Why didn't I see any of this?

Janet: You weren't able to look deep enough. Not through the Void and Subatomica. There are worlds here, worlds within worlds. It's a place outside time and space. It's a secret universe beneath ours.

The group looked over the cliff. Despite the circumstances, Aaron and Bobbi both found the view beautiful.

Timeskip

The group stopped at a desert biome as a large convoy of beings that looked like Tusken Raiders stopped in front of them.

Aaron took a battle stance while Hope and Bobbi prepared their weapons.

Janet: I'll handle this.

Suddenly, several vehicles from the convoy sped towards them. One of the vehicles spilt itself into two as they spun around the group.

Bobbi: Janet...

The vehicles stopped as the beings trained their weapons at them. One of them, which they assumed was the leader, started walking towards them as Janet walked up to him.
