Jay was looking at a letter from Cliff Gordon. Nya came in and asked, "Jay, are you okay?" He looked up at her and spat out, "It's from... my dad. He's dead."

Nya came and sat down on their bed with him and hugged Jay. He started to cry, and Nya rubbed circles on his back to comfort him. "Is it Ed?" asked Nya.

Jay shook his head and cried, "I got that letter, and it just brought back some memories."

Nya said, "Hey, don't worry. I'm here for you and won't let anything happen to you." Jay looked up and asked, "What about you?" "And me," Nya said.

In the junkyard, Wu was talking to Ed and Edna about Jay's birthday. "You know he's turning 21, and now I believe it's safe," Wu said, sipping tea. "But yes, he is very safe, and knowing that woman is no longer a threat... it's just wonderful," Edna exclaimed. Wu smiled at the happy couple, then he frowned and said, "Libber would like him to live with her." "

Wu, what do you mean?" Edna said, dropping a plate.

"I was thinking we take him to Tempestas on his 21st birthday. Libber really would like to meet him," Wu suggested.

"No, that's a horrible idea! He isn't going to his home, and family is here," Ed yelled.

Edna got up to calm down her husband. "Dear, we had him for 20 years. It's time we let Libber have him for a while."

Ed calmed down and said, "Just what if he meets her and he forgets about us?"

"He won't. You are the ones who raised him," Wu told them.

Jay walked into the villa and snooped around in the place he hadn't seen during Skybound. He walked into a room that looked like it was meant for a child. He went further into the room and looked around; he picked up a blue teddy bear and said to himself, "Was this meant to be my room?" He then walked into Cliff's office and saw a picture of Cliff and a woman with long golden hair holding a baby. Jay took a closer glance at the photo; on the back was a note that read, "Welcome home, Jay." He sat down in a chair. He still had a ton of questions, but he knew he would never get answers.

Trixie yelled at Ernest, "How hard could it be to find him?" Ernest spat out, "Ma'am, please. We've searched every cradle." Trixie turned to her Doberman, Anubis, and said in a sickeningly sweet tone, "My pet, did you hear that he's been looking for a baby?" Trixie's pale face wrinkled into an evil glare, and she yelled furiously at the portly man, "It's been twenty years, and you've been looking for a baby this whole time?" Trixie looked down at a spotty little dog cowering away from her. She picked him up and said, "Osiris, I have a small task for you. Find the boy and make sure he comes and pays me a visit."
