"Who's that?"
"Postman." It's kind of rare for her to get a letter. "Wait a second." She walks out of her house and welcome the man who deliver a blue envelope right to her hand. "Please sign this....thank you."

She's wondering what's inside that blue envelope, but when she open it, she knows what it is exactly. It's an invitation, for Walter's engagement. She knew this gonna happen soon or later, but she still can't believe what she just saw. It's been 7 months  after Walter found out about her feelings, lot of things already happened. They haven't speak to each other since. The only person that she can talk with is Patrick, but he's been busy jumping from his job in FBI to doing her a favor on finding the doctor who did procedures for her and Josephine. On the other hand, she assigned her old assistant, John to find Dr. Marlin, the one who put Jade's memories into her brain. Without that doctor, she's not getting better.

"Hey, you find him?"
"Yes, but not exactly what you want. He's dead. You need to find another doctor for that job."
"Alright. Thank you John."
"Oh, and one more thing. Your father found Ken. I don't know how he did it, but he did. He's dead, but he sent the family into a safe environment. I'm sorry Morgan, I can't do more."
"That's okay. I know he will, I just hoping he didn't do anything about it. Alright, I gotta go." She takes a deep breath and then dial Patrick's number.

"Patrick, forget about Dr. Berne, I need you to find someone else."
"Why? You said you want your old face?"
"There's something else I did not tell you. Can you go home early?"
"Of course. I will. Wait there, okay?"
"Okay. Take care Patrick."

"Morgan? What's wrong?"
"I... The reason why I need to change my face is because..... I can no longer live as Jade."
"I know. You want your life back."
"No, not exactly. I became Jade to hide in a plain sight, she had a very public life. With that in hand, I need every detail in her life. So Josephine got me into a treatment to plant her memories of Jade into my brain."
"W...what?"
"Yes. I know the capacity of my brain. I can bear a lot of data. I can behave exactly like Jade because the details were embedded into me. They were in a separate part from my main memories. But then something happened. My brain had several damages when my head got hit and drowned...on the incident in Jakarta. I think my brain start to think I'm actually Jade, I mean I'm still aware that I'm not, but I mistaken Jade's memories as mine."
"Those... nightmares... it's not nightmare isn't it?"
"Yes. It was some horrible trauma of Josephine that's supposed to be hidden. My brain is like some broken computer now, and my head hurts a lot. I have to remove those additional memories before they corrupt mine."
"You know who did the plant?"
"I do. But he's dead. That's why I need to find another doctor with the same specific skill."
"I don't know any of that doctor."
"I'm sure my father does."
"Okay...so... what's my play here? You got him."
"You're here... because I want to tell you something. If...the procedure...both my face and my mind....going well....I would likely disappear. And I want to know if you're willing to be the part of it?"
"Wait, Morgan. This is....."
"Crazy? I know. I didn't expect you to come along though. I just....thinking that I would be happier if you're there for me. I know it's a lot to ask, because you had job and else."
"No, it's not that. I'm just.... I'm thinking about having a life with you for awhile...but I don't want it if you're having a doubt."
"Why would I?"
"Walter. What about him? And You're dad? Isn't it one of your dream to have your own parents?"
"Walter moved on, he has an engagement. I should move with my life as well. As for my father....it might sound selfish but.... As long as I'm still with him, I will never have a normal life. I want a boring life where I don't have to...." She's choking on her own tears. ".... constantly looking at my back. I might be a target for who I am, but I became a target in the first place because my parents brought it to me."

Patrick reach her and gives her a hug, let her cry on his chest. "Come here. You can tell me everything."
"The game...."
"What game?"
"Your wedding game... back in Jakarta.... If I ask you to make it real. Would you?" He almost lost his words. He didn't expect her to say that. "I...of course I would. Did you just...."
"Yes. I just ask you to do so. After these...whole procedure done, I'm thinking about getting away with you." She looks at him, waiting for his response.

"I have some place. Switzerland. I'll arrange some plan."
"Okay. Now....I need to get the doctor first."
"And your father? What if he found us? He would kill us."
"Both of us should cut any contact with him. Or anyone else that could lead him to us.."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Reddington is upset, hearing what happened with Morgan. About her memories and all. "I will find someone to do the procedure. I promise. You'll get better, soon."
"Thank you, dad."

"Dembe, set a meeting with Dr. Rosa, I need her service."
"Okay Raymond." He looks outside the windows, and then to a file that he retrieve from Ken's residence. Both of his and Alice's case files. Now he can breathe, knowing the mastermind of all the mess now dead. After a long-life battle, which almost put their lives at stake, he feels a massive relief from his chest.

"She's available for tomorrow." Dembe came back from the phone call and gives Reddington the details.
"Great, call Morgan and tell her the location." He looks outside the windows and  thinking about Morgan's condition.

She's falling asleep right on his lap as he keep brush her forehead to maintain her head temperature. She had a headache for hours and can't really stop the pain.

"I'm sorry.."
"What?" Patrick quickly hold her hand but then realized that she talks in her sleep.
"....dad...." It seems like she's sad and bring the emotions down to her consciousness. "....Walt....why Walt..." He turns to see her eyes, he knows she's crying. She might be love Walter so much that his engagement broke her into pieces to the point where she needs a getaway.

"Hold on Morgan.... I'm here with you." He put his hand on her head and brush her cheek. "You will be no longer in pain, I promise."
