Plot

Jared continues getting closer to the truth and is abducted by Emmett under the alias of Special Agent Fisher while Saanvi starts to understand the consequences of her choices; Jared is fed a story about Fitz being taken out by an enemy spy which Vance reveals is how he covered up her murder to everyone, including the government. With only a day left until his death date, Jace goes on a bloody rampage trying to get revenge on Michaela and Pete is taken to Eureka to have tests run upon him. In Jace's trailer, Michaela finds a drawing that matches part of the ancient parchment on Maat. Levi suggests that it is a depiction of an ancient test called The Last Trial which featured three criminals whose stories match Jace, Kory and Pete. The story suggests that if Jace forgives Michaela and seeks redemption instead of vengeance, he will be spared. In exchange for Vance allowing Pete to help Michaela confront Jace at the lake, Ben agrees to allow Eureka to experiment upon him. After Tarik brags at a bar about the restaurant that he wants to open with Grace, the family's location is revealed on the internet by a man who overheard Tarik's pitch for an 828-themed restaurant. While searching for Jace, Zeke is knocked unconscious, leaving an oblivious Michaela alone in her search.
