;Summary
The team works on different aspects of their plan, then head out when the time comes. They board the Alyssa after crossing the pond in paddle boats. Wade secures an antenna to the outside of the ship, then they all head inside. The team proceeds via a series of air ducts, activating the sound envelope to cover their progress. They break through a locked door using a hand buzzsaw, still unheard by Ravens thanks to the reversed sonic snare, proceeding into a the supply room from which they will teleport. Hershel blows dozens of holes in the wall using explosive charges. Wade hacks the security camera to mask their movements and provide information, and Jax goes in to eliminate the single security guard with Briggen. Jax attemps to tranquilize the man, but when he misses, Briggen's dart flies true and knocks the guard unconscious. Jax and Briggen return to the supply closet before the boomerang watch kills them, and they return to the power grid room with tools. They run into an issue when the wires are laid out differently than expected, leading to tensions between Jax and Briggen. They end up having to jump back and forth hundreds of times over the next few hours, making only slow progress on the system. The slow progress and several errors make tensions mount even higher. Eventually, Jax and Briggen get into an argument about which wires to cut. Briggen wins the argument, but they cut the wrong ones, causing an error. An alarm suddenly begins blaring. They complete the sabotage work just as the Ravens arrive, and Briggen's boomerang watch is destroyed in the ensuing chaos. Jax tries to bring Briggen back with him using his own boomerang watch, but Raven bullets and the boomerang time limit prevent him from doing so. They are forced to abandon Briggen to the Ravens as they make their escape.

Line 494: Line 496:
 
Wingflare leads him to the old Oval Office, where three platters sit on the table, each one with a cover. Paige is there, and Wingflare announces that they are going to play a game. Wingflare tells them that she is deathly allergic to pine nuts, and that it’s her weakness. Wingflare tells Jax that each plate contains a piece of licorice. One piece is ordinary licorice, one is laced with pine sap, and one is laced with a lethal poison. She says that each of them must eat one of the pieces of licorice, and that Jax can choose who gets which.

Jax says she’s lying about her weakness, saying that it’s actually broken bones. Wingflare is initially shocked, and her grip on Jax loosens, allowing him to free his arms and fire the shockwave through her. It breaks her bones, but she heals, her powers still working. She takes back control of Jax, then demands that he picks a platter. She reveals that she has found the Wingflare motivator, and she destroys it. Jax realizes that Wingflare is hiding something, and figures out her weakness, which is people not playing games with her. Jax doesn’t pick a platter, refusing to play her game. Wingflare becomes enraged, and her weakness activates. Jax shoots Wingflare in the head, and Wingflare is unable to stop the bullet.
