Jesse and Kelsea are sitting on the sidewalk by Denver's Reel Time, right beside Nigel's car. They're waiting for Nigel, Logan, and Tracy.
Kelsea: (blabbing on to a tired Jesse) I know I've been talking about Rhiannon all day, but there's one other thing about Rhiannon [laugh track].
Jesse: (groans) Is there a day she never tries to get Hudson, whom you like at school? (pauses) The simple solution is to not be desperate, like you are with getting my attention [brief laugh track].
Kelsea: Haha, very funny. (exhales) Let's just go in. Besides, we're kind of famous. We can't be sitting here by ourselves.
Jesse: Because of stalkers?
Kelsea: (stands up) No. Paparazzi, little guy. (scoffs) You're a psychic. You have to think outside the box [laugh track].
Jesse: (shakes his head) By the way, I know a cool place we can stay while we wait. It's upstairs, come on. (The two rush back to the building)...(Jesse and Kelsea are climbing the stairs. He looks towards a dimly-lit hallway, which he realizes is very familiar).
Jesse: Why do I feel like I've seen this place?
Kelsea: Because you did [laugh track]. In that vision you had at Miss Zoey's wedding. Remember? The one I begged you to tell Logan about.
Jesse: Yeah, you wouldn't stop taunting and investigating me about it because you're Kelsea Forrester, not Kelsea, the Correspondent [laugh track]. (He realizes) I had that vision almost 2 years ago about Mr Liam getting fired. Is that why they've been acting strange? (They start to hear voices. They seem to be going toward a door with a dimly lit window. He hears voices arguing, specifically Logan, Tracy, and George).
George: Logan, your behaviour was completely unacceptable. You accused him of something unspeakable.
Logan: Yeah, which is why we have to speak up about it now [laugh track]
Tracy: Seriously, George, this is your fault.
George: I've had enough! You have to leave - permanently. (Jesse and Kelsea watch as the door opens, and Logan and Tracy walk out).
Logan: (pleading) Listen, please.
George: No, Logan. YOU'RE FIRED!!
(Jesse gasps as he hears the words "YOU'RE FIRED!" Kelsea has the same reaction, but she is yet to understand what is going on. Tracy follows behind Logan, and the door slams in their faces. Jesse and Kelsea hide in a corner and listen to them).
Logan: I can't believe Geogr is "letting me go" over some silly mistake that is obviously his fault. And we're going on a lockdown soon. (sombre) What am I going to do? And Jesse? I have a little boy to take care of.
Tracy: You do realize his parents are the ones contributing to 99% of his upkeep, right? [laugh track] But I get your point, though. We can't tell Jesse and Kelsea anything yet. Especially Jesse.
Logan: He'll be bummed. He looks up to me as his superhero.
Tracy: I'm so grateful Gerald isn't the one who fired you over your choice of words [laugh track]. How about we head out somewhere to cool off? (The two head downstairs, while Jesse and Kelsea come out of hiding. They're sad at what they've just heard)
Jesse: Liam got fired. That was my vision, and I didn't do anything about it.
Kelsea: (bothered about something else) You call Logan your superhero? Now I see why you're still single and living with your daddy [laugh track].
Jesse: Would you please focus? This is why Hudson hates you [laugh track].
Kelsea: (gasps) Excuse me? (Jesse quickly rolls his eyes and walks off, leaving Kelsea to glare at him).Later, Kelsea and Jesse are sitting by the sidewalk a few steps away from the DRT building. Jesse is beyond disappointed at the outcome of events, and it shows in his facial expression.
Jesse: I should've told him at the wedding. I'm a terrible psychic. If Liam finds out I knew a long time ago, he'd be very upset.
Kelsea: In this scenario, it's not your fault. But generally, yeah, terrible is an understatement [laugh track].
Jesse: (dryly) You're not helping.
Kelsea: (composes herself) My bad. I'm sorry. Let's go in and stay with my brother, Nigel. He'll know what to do.
Jesse: Yeah. (He stands up right before Kelsea does, but quickly freezes in a trance-like state. The camera does a quick close-up on his left iris as he stares straight ahead. The speeding green wave is shown, and the vision opens to show Logan and Tracy at some kind of restaurant. They are looking terrified at something - or perhaps someone. A scream is heard in the background as the robber points a gun at the two, whose hands are raised up in the air).
[Robber: (fiercely) GET ON THE GROUND! NOW!]
(The vision closes immediately, and Jesse's eye and face are fully shown. He quickly regains consciousness and has a frightened look on his face)
Jesse: (panicking) Oh, no! Kelsea, I can't lose Liam! We have to save him!
Kelsea: (worriedly) Woah, Jesse, calm down! What did you see?
Jesse: (pacing) Liam and Tracy are in danger! And it's all thanks to George. (frowns) That monster! [laugh track] We have to run to the restaurant down the street! NOW! (He rushes down the road without waiting for Kelsea's response)
Kelsea: Wait, what of Nigel?! [laugh track] (she groans) Seriously, do you always have to prove you're Logan's kid at the wrongest time? (She follows him briskly, with the two passing the DRT building. Nigel notices the children walking past quickly as he steps out of the building).
Nigel: Why's Jesse running like Logan's walking step? [laugh track] And Kelsea? (he widens his eyebrows) No! Jesse had a bad vision!
Simran: (out of nowhere) What happened to little Carmichael?
Nigel: (startled) JESUS! Why do all of you walk up on people like that?! [laugh track] Jesse does that when someone's in trouble! We have to do something
Simran: Quickly! Let's get security to follow them. And the police too! (The two run to Nigel's car and sit in. They start to put on their seatbelts) We can't risk getting Kelsea, Logan, and his kid in danger. Get the cops on the line.
Armanie: (behind them) I'm related to a cop. (Simran and Nigel yell in fright) Does that count? [laugh track]
Simran: Now I realize what it's like to be walked up on! Armanie, don't do that!
Armanie: Simran, now is not the time to talk about being walked out and run on by your numerous dates. (to Nigel) Nigel, DRIVE!! (Nigel turns on the ignition, and they quickly drive off)...
