someone is on your side

How so, David can't know I'm involved and he should only tangentially know you're involved. We've worked hard at not connecting to one another. ( She smirks. ) As much as I love connecting with you.

The dead man's switch was Monroe's. Her trigger went off an hour ago. I paused it, because I'm amazing but there's nothing on it that ties it back to us. In fact, I'm on it. Why would I make myself a target?

[She steps closer, sliding her arms around her girlfriend's waist to pull her closer.]

You go to ground. Find out what you need to do before the next solstice. I'll go flush out our heir and keep David off your trail. This is our plan. Let me help.

[ostensively]

I have no doubt the help you'll be. I'll just miss you.

( Which is the extent of feelings she can exude for the day. )

We pull this trigger, it's itinerantur ( her ability and travel in latin ) in seconds. Any of those hunters get even a piece of you and I will eviscerate them.

[tearhiseyesout]

I know you will.

[Jaqueline will probably eviscerate a few of her own too.]

But we can do this. It's the right move for where we are right now. And I think we'll still have a good thirty-six hours before we have to go radio silent.

[To help remedy the missing her part.]

And once this is done, we'll have all the time in the world.

We send them scrambling and you get in good with the Adin-Gainors.

( It does speed things up, but, when can't she resurface as someone's former bride. )

We'll have the time and the power to live in it.

[tearhiseyesout]

Exactly. We're in the end stretch. We can do this.

[She smiles before leaning in to kiss her.]

Together, just like we wanted.

[ostensively]

We're witches. Our end stretches are decades apart. But, at least we look good doing our victory lap.

( She smiles into the kiss, opening her eyes again. )

We'll find another way. And we'll hit them from all sides. We just need to save some time and buy me an alibi and you two allies. Or, one ally. Ezra is a nonstarter and might be more trouble than he's worth.

[tearhiseyesout]

I think you underestimate him.

[But she'll figure it out. She knows which buttons she can play to try and get him on her side. But that's for future Jaqueline to worry about. She nods, before turning her attention back to the laptop.]

How much time do you need?

[ostensively]

( Sierra underestimates most people. It's her fatal flaw. She thinks so highly of herself. But, ask her and she's the smartest one in the room. )

Let's give them just enough time for them to think they're in the clear. 24 hours. Then pull the trigger.

[tearhiseyesout]

[She nods in agreement, and quickly sets the timer to do just that.]

It'll give me time to get back to life, and set the hunters up to find me.

[ostensively]

And then we go from there. ...Seeing as we have hours...

( Her tank top is removed and you can guess the rest. It's the last night of the world and Jaq is Kim. Sierra will be Chris. )
