"Hello?" Allison's voice echoed through Elliott's foyer.
"Le petit mort, le petit mort," Klaus muttered to himself.
"What? You don't speak French, dipshit," Jenna shook her head.
"It's 'the little death'," He explained, erupting into laughter with Jenna and Allison.
Once she regained her composure, Jenna waved up to everyone standing on the balcony, grabbing Klaus' attention. He lowered his sunglasses with a sly smirk, "I know this is impossible, but... did we all get sexier?"
Allison took a moment before noticing her sister, "Vanya..."
"I can't believe I have a sister," Vanya exclaimed, running down the stairs to see her up close.
"I missed you," Allison told her, sincerely.
"Thank god someone did," Vanya smiled, completely and utterly happy.

Bill and Elliott watched the reunion from the balcony overhead.
"Are you okay, Bill?" Elliott grabbed his shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah. I will be," He nodded, watching Jenna smile and laugh with her family, "I think."
"Good. I promise we'll find you a real nice lady to go on a date with soon, buddy."
"Thanks, El. I do need a distraction."
"Well, we'll find you one soon enough."
Back downstairs, Vanya and Allison initiated a massive hug while Klaus and Diego did the same, forcing Jenna into it as well.
"Man, you are drunk," Diego pinched Klaus' cheek.
"Yeah. No, just a little... just a few... oh, that's so sweet," Klaus held a hand to his heart watching his two sisters reunite, joining in on their hug as well.

"Klaus," Five caught his attention, "Is Ben still here?"
"Oh, uh... no," He replied, "No, unfortunately ghosts can't time travel and Jenna was lying to you earlier. That little, fiery gaslighter."
"Are you kidding me?" Ben yelled, rolling his eyes.
Jenna rested her head on her husband's shoulder, whispering in his ear, "He's here."
"Gotcha," He kissed the top of her head, "All right, then. Let's get down to business."
Everyone followed Five upstairs, with a bit of bickering.
"Hey, Diego," Allison flagged him down, "Can't say hi to nobody?"
"Hi, Allison," He muttered.
"What was that?"
"Hi, Allison!"
"Thank you!"

Everybody eventually gathered in the living room and listened to Five yap about his plans.
"All right. First off, I wanna say I'm sorry. I know I really screwed the pooch on this whole going-back-in-time-and-getting-stuck thing," He apologized, "But the real kick in the pants here is we brought the end of the world back here with us."
"Oh, my god, again?" Klaus groaned while pouring himself a drink and peering around at all of his siblings' stares, "All of you knew? Why am I always the last one to find out about the end of the- Oh, my god. My cult is going to be so pissed. Five! I told them we had until 2019."
"We have until Monday," Five broke the news, "We have six days."
"Is it Vanya?" Klaus set the liquor bottle down.
"Klaus," Allison scolded him.
"What? It's usually Vanya," He took a sip.

"Do you have any leads, Five?" Vanya asked, ignoring her brother's blame.
"Yeah, we have one," Jenna handed Five a file which he passed to Allison containing a picture of their father.
"Holy shit, is that Dad?" Allison squinted at the photograph.
"Yeah," Diego glared, radiating anger.
"That's him?" Vanya leaned over to look at the picture.
"He's standing on the grassy knoll," Diego elaborated.
"Diego, Five, and I have been trying to talk to him about what that means exactly," Jenna explained, "So far, we've got nothing."
"Not nothing," Diego corrected, "We know he's planning to kill Kennedy."
"Maybe," Five stopped him, "But we don't know who or what sets doomsday in motion. Could be Kennedy, could be something entirely independent. But if we know something changes the timeline, we have to make it right again."

"Yeah, but how are we supposed to fix it if we don't know what's broken?" Allison set the photo down.
"Come on. Do the math," Diego interjected, "We know Dad's having shady-ass meetings with some shady-ass people. We know he's on the grassy knoll in three days to kill the president. So I think we all know what we have to do. Kill Dad."
"Find Dad," Five said at the same time as Diego.
Everyone looked at them dumbfounded, with Vanya reasoning, "Well, none of us are supposed to be here, right? I mean, what if it's us? Has anyone here done anything to screw up the timeline?"
