Meanwhile Erik receives some bad news, and must turn to Sarah for help. However, neither mission is going to be anywhere near straightforward…

Later, after he learns of the arrest and incarceration of Jack Harringer, Draper tasks fugitive Sarah Cunnington with breaking him out of the Void. However, this does not turn out to be as straightforward as it should, and Sarah soon finds herself Jumping into the past of the one person she should really be staying as far from as possible.
