## Episode Summary

Juno, Rita, Buddy, Vespa and Jet try to get away from Dark Matters who have cornered the Carte Blanche. They have Director W with them who has become their captive.

When they reach the garage the Ruby Seven is nowhere to be found and Juno starts to suspect that Peter took the car to get away. Buddy reminds him and everyone of the agreement they made during their first week as a family, that says if they need to get away everyone has to make sure that they get away, so they can help out those who get captured.

Rita uses Sasha to procure a getaway car. Juno and the others go to pack their stuff and Juno checks Peter’s room and finds it empty.

When everyone meets up again Buddy and Vespa are missing, and the coms are blocked. Rita goes to reactivate them but is captured as well. Jet and Juno hear an announcement by Dark Matters saying that they have captured them and want the Curemother Prime.

Jet and Juno come up with plan, hoping to get away with Buddy and safe the others later. However, they fail, because Sasha betrays them and tries to shoot Juno. Jet convinces Juno that him getting away is their only chance and tells Juno to trust that the Ruby Seven will be there for him to ensure his getaway. Juno climbs into the airlock that seems empty at first, pondering over his feelings for Nureyev and his view of life in general as someone approaches from behind, who turns out to be the shapeshifted form of the Ruby, that apprently shrunk itself to hide, offering Juno a getaway and help in saving their family. And though Juno feels a longing to find Nureyev he sets a course for Io, to get help with freeing his family first.

So here I am, half-asleep, thinking about Nureyev, Sasha, Mick... hell, I have no idea what Mercury’s gonna think of all this. And maybe I really am wrong, and maybe I’ve just lost Sasha for good and maybe that means I’ve lost Mick, too, and I can’t believe I’m here but the fact is that I feel... homesick.

I only have a second to look up before the big guy slams the door to the garage shut, but in that second I see Sasha. She’s... she’s shaking. And for some reason the only thing I can think about is the way she’s holding her gun, because she and I learned that grip together, side-by-side in the Hyperion City Police Academy.

And I’m this close, I swear, I am this close to writing Peter Nureyev off forever... when I feel someone tap me on the shoulder, and the relief is so intense that I know there isno writing him off, not ever again.
