"Wake up Zee." Klaus says as he jumps onto his sister's bed. Zee wakes up and glares at him "You love me really." he tells her making her nod. "Come on we're going back to the academy." he tells her as she stands up. "One, when did you get out of rehab? Two, why are we going back?" she signs to him. "One, last night. Two, Dad's dead." Klaus responds making her eyes widen. "Really?" she asks (signing). "Yep. Now come on." Klaus tells her before walking out the room. Zee smiles at him as he walks out before using her abilities to dress herself and walking out to the living room where Klaus is sat with Ben. She waves at Ben and he smiles at her "Hey Zee." he greets. "Right let's go then." Klaus tells her standing up.

They walk into the house and Klaus goes up to their Fathers office while Zee goes to her room. She flops onto her bed and sighs "Hey Zee." she hears from her door. She sits up and sees Diego, smiling she runs to him and gives him a massive hug. Laughing Diego lifts her up slightly making her wrap her legs around his waist "You a Koala now?" he asks making her nod into his neck. Diego chuckles and walks, with her still in his arms, downstairs where everyone else is sat. He sits down and she moves so she sat on his lap watching everyone "Can we hurry this along?" Diego asks making Zee smile. "I thought we could have the memorial service at sundown. Out by Dad's favorite tree." Luther suggests making Zee roll her eyes. "Dad had a favourite tree?" Zee asks (signs). Luther looks at her confused making her sigh "She asked 'Dad had a favourite tree?' " Diego translates. "The big elm? He, um...he used to take me out there and we'd sit and...and talk about..." Luther trails off, awkward, as he realizes none of the others knew about this particular side of Hargreeves "It doesn't matter." he states as Zee leans back slightly into Diego's chest.

"Will there be refreshments? Tea? Scones? Cucumber sandwiches are always a hit." Klaus says walking over with two drinks and a spliff in his hands. He hands a drink to Zee who smiles and takes it from him "What no! And put that out you know dad didn't like that." Luther glares at Klaus who rolls his eyes. "Is that my skirt?" Alison asks. "Oh yes. It's a little outdated but it's very breathing around the bits." Klaus smiles sitting down on the sofa next to Vanya. "There's more important things to discuss." Luther says. "Like what?" Alison asks puzzled. "Like Dad. The way he died." Luther responds. "Aaaand here we go." Diego says as Zee moves off his lap. "I thought it was a heart attack?" asks Vanya. "According to the coroner." Luther tells her. "Yeah, well, I think he'd know." Zee signs to Diego making him smirk. "Oh I see where this is going." Diego says. "What?" Klaus asks. "Don't you see Klaus. He thinks one of us did it." Diego says standing up. "You do, don't you?" Klaus asks. "How could you think that?" Vanya asks. "Way to go Luther." Diego says walking out of the room. Klaus put his hand out to Zee who takes it before walking out together "Hey where you going we're not finished here?" Luther calls after them. "Yeah we'll be right back. We're just gonna go murder Mom." Klaus calls over his shoulder. Zee smiles slightly and looks to Ben who rolls his eyes playfully at her, making her give a soundless giggle.

Zee goes up to her room and lies on her bed, playing with her hands and the edge of her tshirt. Suddenly she hears music playing from Luther's room, 'I Think We're Alone Now' by Tiffany. She gets up smiling as she spots Ben in the corner "May I have this dance sis?" he asks. Zee smiles and takes his hand using her full abilities to do so, Ben smiles and takes her other hand. He starts moving their arms back and forth before spinning her, she smiles as she spins into him and then back out. As she goes to spin into him again the house starts shaking, making her look at Ben who shrugs. She space jumps outside into the garden where she sees a giant blue mass of light in the air by the tree. Her brothers and sisters run out behind her and Diego grabs her, putting her behind him as a form of protection "What is it?" Vanya asks, shouting to be heard over the wind. "Get back. Don't touch it!" Luther says making Zee roll her eyes. "Yeah, no shit." she signs as Diego says the same thing. "It appears to be some sort of temporal anomaly. Or possibly a black hole." Luther tells them all. "Pretty big difference." Diego retorts holding Zee's hand.
