So how did Five's idea of a mission go?

Well, not as planned, that's for sure.

After a "mini" bickering, a few landed punches, and the worst possible scenario to ever come to life: Five and Eight being on the verge of the seventh and possibly most dangerous stage of paradox psychosis, homicidal rage...

They successfully sent the two older versions of themselves through the portal and therefore managed to save their ceasing lives, but what about the briefcase they were going for in the first place?

Doomed.

They've watched the assassination of the President, John F. Kennedy, and Diego's attempt to tackle his father who turned out not to be his father.

Crazy, right?

Let's not forget to mention the whole picture here.

While Five, Eight and Luther were busy trying to get a briefcase to get back home, the rest of the siblings, Allison, Klaus and Diego were busy trying to stop Vanya from blowing up the world.. Again.

And naturally, Diego and his hero complex just had to get involved somehow else, by tackling a man, and apparently trying to save Kennedy from dying.

Tough luck.

Well, it can't possibly get worse than that, right?

The Hargreeves family, now united once again in the apartment of late Elliott, who by the way, was an innocent man who died because of them, watched the local news reports name each of the family member and the reason they were now the most wanted criminals in the history of Texas.

Eight was sitting on the lowest stair, on the ground floor, her eyes squinted at the multiple TV's placed in a circle as she listened to what the man was saying, while the rest of the family, excluding Klaus, gathered around.

"Authorities are asking for help identifying several persons of interest at Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination" the man sounded. "The FBI believes they may have been acting in concert with the alleged shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald."

"Vanya Hargreeves,wanted in connection with the deaths of several FBI agents inside the federal building at Dealey Plaza." the screen was showing the woman's picture, giving a face to the name.

"Hmh. At least you look hot in that shoot, sis." the girl commented, her gaze still fixated on the news.

"A Cuban exile known only as Diego..."

"Cuban?" the mentioned man made an offensive face.

"...who recently escaped from the Holbrook Sanitarium." the reporter continued. "A bare-knuckle boxer with suspected Mafia ties who fights under the alias "King Kong."." they heard the man mention Luther.

Eight grimaced at the name, but chose to swallow her snarky remark and just continue to watch the TV.

"Allison Chestnut, a Negro radical responsible for instigating and organizing the recent riots at Stadtler's lunch counter."

"And finally, Klaus, the controversial cult leader and known tax evader." they didn't seem to forget yet another sibling.

"The FBI is asking the public to be on the lookout for these unidentified kids, who they believe are being held hostage by the suspected terrorist network..." the news featured a picture of Five and Eight, standing behind the fence on the grassy knoll.
