Miraculously, Jenna made it through the car ride up to New Grumpson without puking or punching Five and Lila in the face. She was very grateful that every time Five tried to talk, Luther immediately shut him up.
"Finally," Jenna sighed, "We're here."
"Oh," Luther pointed to the crowd of Keepers right down the street, "That doesn't look good."
"Hey," Allison tapped Diego on the shoulder, "Back down that alley so we're out of sight."
As he tried to back up, the van went forwards.
"What the fuck are you doing, Batman!?" Jenna leaned towards him, "Back up!"
"I'm trying!" He fought back, but the car wouldn't do anything other than roll forwards.
He angrily started slapping the dashboard, but only succeeded in turning Baby Shark back on. Jenna finally snapped and climbed over the center council, sitting down right on Diego's lap and smashing down on the breaks, only for them to do nothing. Jenna's emotions were out of control, causing her to shoot lighting all around the car and sent it scraping against another car. She finally came to her senses and pulled the emergency hand brake. Even though they finally stopped, Jenna had caused another issue: they'd stopped right in front of a hoard of angry Keepers with weapons.
Luther gave the Keepers an awkward wave right before they started to shoot up the van. Jenna pushed herself off of Diego and out the door. Jenna, as quickly as she could, formed a force field around everyone and the van, but the van's windows had already been shot out.
"Hey!" Diego exclaimed, "I just replaced those!"
"I don't think you should've cheaped out on the breaks!" Jenna screamed in his ear.
"To be fair," Luther defended his brother, "New ceramic pads on a vehicle this old is not a good investment."
"I can't hold it much longer!" Jenna whined from her overusing her powers.
"Hey, Five," Klaus slapped his brother's arm, "Do the blinky thing and get us into the store."
"That doesn't work anymore," Five groaned.
"You gotta try, Five," Lila leaned into his side, causing everyone to roll their eyes.
"I can't, all right?" He argued.
"I'll mimic your power," Lila suggested, "We'll do it together."
"It'll never work without Jenna," He leaned over to look at her.
"Like hell I'm ever touching your hand again!" She fired back at him.
"Jenna," Lila grabbed her shoulders, "I know we fucked up and I'm so sorry, but we all need you right now to help out or we'll all die, okay? You'll never have to see me again if we save the world, I promise. But for now, we need to get in that store. Together."
"Fine," Jenna rolled her eyes, "But I fucking hate you both so much."
Jenna reluctantly placed her hands in Five and Lila's. Five gave her a reassuring squeeze, but she just snarled at him. Right before they combined their powers to blink into the store with the family, Jenna whispered in Five's ear, "You better sign the divorce papers this time, asshole."
They landed on the ground with a thud and looked up to see Viktor and a creature in front of him.
"Eww," Klaus grimaced, "What the hell is that?"
"I'm too late," Jenna dropped her head into her hands, "They already started to change. We're fucked."
As Jenna approached, Viktor stopped her, "Stay where you are!"
"V, you're hurt," Jenna tried to reason with him, "And I know how to help."
"I'm fine, Jenna," Vik dusted himself off, "Just don't touch Ben."
From around the side of the escalators, Jennifer emerged with the same grotesque disfigurement as Ben.
"Oh, Jennifer," Jenna slightly turned away at the sight of her.
"Get away from him!" Jennifer roared.
"Ben, please," Viktor pleaded, "Please let me help you."
"Leave now!" Ben warned, "I... I can't control it. I don't wanna hurt you."
Viktor waited a moment before creeping forward and grabbing Ben's arm; using his powers on him to try and pull out the Durango.
"V! No!" Jenna sprang into action.
She pushed Viktor out of the way and started the extraction herself, but she was too late. Reginald had used a sniper to kill Ben, but hit Jenna's shoulder instead. She fell to the ground as Ben and Jennifer merged together in front of her.
"Jenna!" Five screamed, trying to run up to her, but Diego pushed him out of the way and took matters into his own hands.
