## Plot

Gabriel sits down with a man who he is in love with. The man tells him to move into his apartment, which Gabriel accepts.

Walking into an apartment, Gabriel does not want to see a woman since he is very tired, but the woman in his apartment turns into Mercury. She tells him he has not been checking in and she has a job for him in England, which would be to meet Nathan.

Gabriel, Nathan and Annalise make it to a city, where Gabriel complains that Annalise is daughter of the head of the Fairborn Council. Nathan tells him Annalise would not be going anywhere, saying they had no other secrets. They go to a store, where Gabriel buys vodka and get on a bus, where Gabriel tells them that he knows he had lost his temper before, but he had many things he liked in his apartment.

Reaching a pier, Gabriel tells them that they would be boarding a boat. Habir asks Gabriel for his money, which he gives him. Nathan and Annalise introduce themselves to Habir. In the boat, Gabriel asks Annalise about her power, which she reveals to be the Undoing. Gabriel tells her to learn how to control it, but she wants it gone instead.

Soul is approached by Ceelia, who he tells that Nathan had escaped thanks to Bloodwitches. Soul tells her that because of this and the fact that they had taken Annalise, they would go hunting.

Nathan asks if they are going to France, which Gabriel confirms. However, he tells him that he does not know what would happen what would happen when he gets his blood. Right now they needed to focus on keeping him alive.

Once they make it to the shore, Gabriel, Nathan, and Annalise wear a necklace so they are not killed. They enter a magical doorway which takes them straight to Paris, where Gabriel would get a change of clothes in his apartment. However, once they make it to his apartment, they find out that Gabriel has been robbed, so he has no equipment, which meant they couldn't get Mercury. Nathan realizes that whoever robbed Gabriel probably had a key.

Gabriel, Nathan, and Annalise make it to a bar, where Gabriel wants to tak to Ruby, who the bartender says is not there. Nicky approaches them and tells them they need a drink. They talk about the situation between Fairborns and Bloodwitches in England. Gabriel is told where Ruby would have his equipment, which makes him groan.

Gabriel approaches a man who is selling things. He tries to impress Annalise and Nathan until Gabriel threatens the man. The man tells him that one of his regulars had bought his equipment and refuses to tell him the name unless he is paid. Gabriel offers him Annalise, who he says could be sold back to the Fairborns. The man tells him to give him an hour to return, while Nathan and Annalise steal from the man.

Nathan gives Annalise the map he stole from the man, telling her that after they got the map from Mercury, they could go wherever she wanted. After that, both of them kiss until they are interrupted by Gabriel. The man comes back, but Gabriel tells him that a book is missing from his equipment, so the deal is off. Gabriel tells Annalise and Nathan to run while he is beat down by a cop.

At the police station, Gabriel is recognized as a Blood Witch, but he says that he does not do drugs. The police officer tells Gabriel that Mercury could not help him in there, but he could help himself by giving them information. The cop is looking for Nathan, but Gabriel does not talk, so he is locked in a cell.

Nathan and Annalise walk back into the bar, where they tell Gabriel's friends that he was in prison.

Bjorn and Soul torture Habir, asking where Nathan is. However, he has no idea where they are. Soul asks Jessica what she knows about Europe. She says that she knows it is dangerous, so not all of them would make it back. However, he tells her that he thinks she could make it back because she is ruthless. He hands her a knife and tells her to not let him down. Habir tells her not to torture him because she is just a child. She tells him she is not a child anymore. After a while, she goes back and tells Soul that they are in Paris.

Gabriel is cuffed and told that he would not be taken to a nice place. However, an officer tells him that his attourney was there. Gabriel sits down with Hugo, who talks to the police, telling them that they would not be taking them. Nicky helps as well, and they escape. Annalise and Nathan wait in the car in order to get away. Once everybody is in the car, Annalise starts driving away. Gabriel tells them that he still needs his stuff, but he knows he was looking in the wrong place.

At a restaurant, Gabriel, Hugo, Annalise, Nicky and Nathan walk in. Gabriel walks into the kitchen by himself and finds Clark. He tells him that he had stolen from him, and Clark tells him that he had abandoned him. Gabriel does not care, and tells him to give him his book back. When asked why he had taken it, Clark admits that he had taken it because he knew Gabriel would go looking for him. Gabriel blows dust in Clark's face, in order to make him forget him.

Hugo, Annalise, Nicky and Nathan have a drink by themselves. They tell the children that the door to Mercury is at the bar they were at earlier. Gabriel goes back to them after meeting with Clark, telling them that they could go since he had found his book, which was very important to him. Annalise and Nathan complain that they were running from the Fairborn Council and Marcus, which Gabriel did not know. Nicky and Hugo offer to take them to Mercury, while Gabriel says he is out.

Hugo, Annalise, Nicky and Nathan walk back into the bar and they have a drink. Nicky tells Nathan that his father would lead them. Nathan says that he is not looking to kill his father and does not believe in the prophecy, but Nicky says that it does not matter what he believes. Hugo starts using his power in order to muffle the noise, while Annalise and Nathan start running.

Gabriel walks down the street and knows he would regret going back to Annalise and Nathan. Gabriel realizes that they are under attack and prepares to defend them. Walking into the bar, he uses his magic in order to blind everyone and starts taking them down one by one.

Annalise and Nathan see the Cut as Gabriel fights for them. They walk into the bar and prepare to help Gabriel take everyone down. Hugo chokes Gabriel until Nathan punches him to the ground. Annalise separates Nathan from Hugo and prepare to walk into the Cut. However, Nicky blocks their entry with a gun.

Gabriel tells them he cannot believe they could not go without him five minutes. Nathan asks if he is now going with them, since he mentions they would need to take the long way. Gabriel metions that he would not get paid if he did not help them, and while it is a long and dangerous road, he would help Nathan and Annalise.
