But Jamal breaks away.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this." Jamal stutters. "I still have feelings for Annika, even though we're done. And I have the same feelings for you too, Sami. I'm just not ready. It's not that easy for me."
"It's okay." Sami says. "I'll wait for you. As long as it takes. And I'll remove the article."
"Thank you!" Jamal hugs Sami and walks away.

In the living room, Danya and Tyler review the footage and see who stole the dollhouse.
"Hunter?!" Danya exclaims.
Annika, Jamal and Elayna enter.
"What about Hunter?" Elayna asks.
"Hunter stole the dollhouse!" Tyler says.
Hunter enters to get food and they all glare at him. "What did I do?"
"You stole our dollhouse." Elayna glares. "We have proof."
Hunter sighs.
"Why did you do it?" Jamal asks.
"Jasper is in danger." Hunter explains. "He has to give someone stuff that belonged to Sarah or her family or else that person will kill him. And it's the same person that is working with Vera and kidnapped Trudy."
"Who is it?!" Annika asks.
"It's Rufus." Hunter states.
Everyone instantly recoils back in shock at his words.
"Rufus... Rufus is dead." Elayna starts to panic, having had a traumatizing history with him.
"Hunter, you killed him yourself!" Tyler says.
"Well apparently I didn't!" Hunter says. "He's still alive and he has Trudy. And she's probably suffering."
"We need to find her." Jamal says.
"But how?" Annika asks.
"If Rufus is back," Danya points out,"then he's probably holding Trudy captive at the warehouse, like he did with Elayna."
Elayna quivers from the memories.
"Then all 6 of us are going to go and save her."Annika says.
"I can't." Elayna tears up. "I can't go back to that place again. I just can't..."
Elayna walks away.
"Okay, so just the 5 of us will go." Annika says.
"Tomorrow."

Danya and Elayna walk together in the halls and see Victor and Vera talking.
"We're making it far in this new reflector task."Vera says.
"Yes." Victor says. "The kids have 3 reflectors. And we have the other 3. They'll never beat us to it."
Danya and Elayna gasp.
