Gavin (Terry O'Quinn) gives Olivia (Vanessa Williams) a surprise which she says she hates, but he tells her she loves them. Later he introduces Sasha/Laurel (Tessa Thompson) to her and leaves them to talk. She was driving and crashed the car, then she let her friend die and disappeared. They mistook her DB for Sasha. Olivia telling her she was selfish. Don't think Olivia knows anything about Sasha and her meeting with Gavin. Obviously he seems to have known she's alive for a long time for apparent reasons. Henry (Dave Annable) watches the current councilman, Frank Sullivan (Richard Joseph Paul) being revealed in the news as having an affair with his 18 year old intern and later he accosts Henry by telling him he knew about the leak which hurt his family. Henry turns to Sasha who tells him if he wants to get into politics then these things happen. That he got what he deserved for messing around on his wife. Henry tells her about his father being a good man. Henry also tells Jane (Rachael Taylor) about being touted for Sullivan's place and there's a fundraiser in his honour.
Gavin meanwhile takes Jane to Maris's deserted apartment as it's in need of renovation. He suggests removing the wall with the mirror and asks if she met Maris, which she denies. Jane has another encounter with Libby through the mirror and she draws a symbol on the mirror which Jane copies down. She calls Hayden (Teddy Sears) and tells him about the connection and needs to know anything about people connected with the Order of the Dragon. The symbol appears a lot in Kramer's journal. Hayden discovers a Harlan Moore's (Richard Short) great grand daughter who doesn't recognize the symbol, well she looked like she did especially the way she stared at Jane's necklace. Hayden asks why the deed is still in Harlan's name.
Jane feigns use of the bathroom and finds Harlan hooked to machine who tells her he's been waiting for her. He's 117 years old and the same man she saw as Libby when they sacrificed her. He knows the symbol, it means 'door.' Libby must need her to rescue her and set her spirit free. He also says he needs to find death. Jane has to find the heart of the Drake, that's where the door will be. Jane seems reluctant to tell Hayden what she found and she hasn't told Henry about any of this to protect him. She also ignores his calls.
Gavin and Olivia decide to keep Sasha a secret and everyone will continue to know her as Laurel. Gavin wants her to stay away from Henry, who tells Jane he's nervous about taking on the position. She says they'll toss for it. At the fundraiser, Hayden calls Jane, he was checking up on her as he hasn't heard from her. She tells him there can be nothing between them, agh Jane still going for wimpish, boring Henry who can't think for himself, let alone stick to his decisions. Jane thinks it's harsh the way she's treated Hayden and seems to have doubts about trusting him now. Come to think of it, there isn't much we know about Hayden and his true motives for helping her out.
Brian's (Robert Buckley) play is complete and they want him to rewrite the ending but he doesn't want to cos of what he has to go through, i.e being with Alexis (Helena Mattsson). Louise (Mercedes Masohn) wants him to consider it, which he does and he meets up with her. He asks her what her dreams were but she refuses to answer after he tells her this is only an 'arrangement' between them and nothing more. Alexis approaches Gavin once more wanting out of their deal and he immediately takes her legs from under her. He found her when a driver ran her over and left her there. She said she'd do anything just to walk. She later mixes some drugs into Louise's drink and she falls down at the fundraiser as if she's been drinking. Taking her back to the apartment, she confesses running someone over one night when she was drunk and Alexis realizes it was her who caused her paralysis.
Sasha talks Henry into running for the councilman's seat and plays Gavin up as a good guy, even after he admits he leaked the story. Henry announces his decision to run along with Gavin and Jane is shocked. She enters a basement and finds a mirror which she reads, "shine a light to cast over the city shadow" but nothing happens. She later dreams of herself in bed with Hayden who tells her this is her dream, she can do what she likes. Heading to the mirror again, she pulls Libby out and her spirit disappears. Harlan also recovers and becomes young again, wanting a steak (or stake? ha). Jane also drags some back sludge back through the mirror...
Strangely why does Brian ask of Alexis's dreams now since not long ago he wanted her gone and out of his life, he's changed his tune quickly. Also laughable was the line Henry could even become Mayor, yeah must be a spot open for uncharismatic, boring political types like him! There was nothing made as to her reasons for faking her own death and all of a sudden Sasha becomes her daddy's daughter going all out to get Henry involved in politics and playing the dutiful devil's spawn! Even Olivia doesn't suspect anything, didn't ask her about the note she left, why she wanted to get away from her father, no, nothing. What sort of a family reunion was that without any dialogue or explanations. Jane should just run away with Hayden, ha, but looks like even he has a dubious side now, pretty rushed in trying to come to some sort of a plausible conclusion with only three episodes remaining.
