"woah there you okay", Enoch caught Thomas when they had all met up in the middle of the pier. "Yeah just need a breather that's all", they after all did finished off the Hallows.  "Alright, good job guys. It's time for step two", Jake praised them all while Claire went to hold both Enoch's and Thomas' hands. "Save Miss Peregrine", Bronwyn said from her brother's shoulders. "That's sort of step three. First we've got to deal with Barron. Come on", Jake led them to the tower as Thomas brought Claire to her waist to carry.

"Go with the twins", Thomas gave her hand to the covered pair as they did a little rattle in reply before the trio went to the second floor. Thomas went as swiftly as she could and hid behind the seats of the mechanical elephant. Jake gave a nod to Emma to interrupt Mr. Barron's speech as she blew a gust of wind to keep him on the wooden wheel. Hugh had released his bees on the other wights causing them to run away. The women to the beams and the man into the pool. "Get them! You Jake, content to age and die as if you had not the gift of peculiarity, at all?" Emma stopped her wind as the monkey lady started to throw knives at the other kids.

"Does he ever shut up", Enoch grumbled and took a bowling pin running up to Barron. "Enoch", Thomas ran to him as the boy was hit leaving him knocked on the floor. "Don't you ever touch my boyfriend",  Thomas punched Barron straight in the face. He looked back on her a patch of ice covering his jaw. "Ah, Ms. Fincher I heard things about you and your brother, such a prize", Barron recovered to hold her from the neck lifting her off the ground. "Sorry to interrupt", Olive came from behind setting the man's jacket on fire as he let down the girl. Thomas crawled away holding her slightly bruising neck to Enoch, then dragged him behind the mechanical elephant.

"Come on Enoch, Wake up", Thomas kept slapping the boy til he regained his conscious, throughout the chaos. "Wh-ah I wove yOu", Enoch flew straight up. "Love you don't have a heart on you any chance?", Thomas eyed the elephant as Enoch catched on. "Always", he pulled out a heart from his trousers and ran to the front of the machine sticking it inside.

He whispered a few words and the elephant's eyes opened and it rose. Taking a step at a time it had finally crushed the wright. "Oh Olive", Thomas ran over to the frozen girl taking her to her lap. Victor had broke the ice in the pool as he gathered his sister out. "No no Olive", Eliot dashed over to the frozen girl taking her out of his sister's arms. "I'm sorry Olive, I only got to know you in a little time. But, it felt like a whole era to me. I never got to tell you", the boy leaned down to kiss her. "Never tell me what?", the pair had a loop sided smile realizing both of them were heating her up. Eliot copied her pyrokinesis. "I love you", he brought her into a hug.

"Enoch, Thomas! Where are the others?", Emma came running from a corner knocking into the couple. "They are safe. Olive and Eliot took them back to the Ghost Train", Thomas gave a short summary. "Jake needs us, Baron's too strong", Emma ushered the pair as they ran through the basement again. 

The door that Jake entered through earlier was bashed from the outside. Enoch had put Thomas behind him as Emma opened the door. Two exact looking Jake's faced the trio. "Emma? Wait, that's not me. It is Barron", Right Jake moved closer to them. Enoch picked up the crossbow leaning on the wall and pointed it at the two Jakes.

"Well, I got better shot than Jake. So neither of you move till we sort this.", Enoch continued to aim at both of them. "Listen to me. I'm Jake. I grew up in Florida and I wanted to be an explorer. I never through nothing would ever change because I was ordinary", Left Jake accused the other. "That's Jake. Get Barron", Emma pointed at Left Jake as Enoch aimed at him too.

"Wait! I told him all of this. She was my psychiatrist", Right Jake explained himself. "Look, you deal with him. I'll go find Miss Peregrine", Left Jake tried to pass Enoch only for Thomas to push him back. "Wait, I can prove that I'm me. Because I am not ordinary I can do something that no one else can. I can see the monsters", Right Jake said as Thomas faintly saw the outline of the hallow.

"WAIT, IT'S ME!", Barron changed back to Barron only to get eaten by the hallow. "ENOCH", Jake yelled as the boy threw him the cross bow to finally shoot down the hallow. Smiles went around the group for the freed embrynes and the victory from Barron.

"We need to go. The loop is closing", Emma said while Enoch ran out with Thomas hand in hand.

Snow was falling over them as they had reached the now empty pier back to the Ghost Rider. Eliot seemed shaken up but happy with Olive in his arms. Thomas felt that same nerve but forced it down keeping a smile while walking with Enoch. The twins gave Jake a hug before entering the ride. Claire and Bronwyn admired Jake before entering themselves. Hugh gave Jake a hand hug while Fiona simply nodded holding back her tears. Horace stuffed a handkerchief into Jake's pocket while Millard gave Jake a hug. Victor gave Jake a firm hand shake before pulling him into a man hug. Olive gave the boy a hug while Eliot took her waist leading her inside. She didn't even spare Jake glace. Enoch shook his hand with a simple smirk as Thomas' legs went to jelly. 

"Thomas", Enoch carried her to see her legs were already fading. "Good bye Jake", Thomas patted Jake's face and slipped a paper into his hands quickly before Enoch brought her out of the loop.
