Jess: LIZ!!!!
Jess runs to Liz and hugs her and Liz hugs back.
Liz: Heeeey, I missed you.
Jess: I missed you too. You missed the wedding!!
Liz: Sorry, but college is hard.
Jess: I know, I'm teasing you. Please come in.
Liz: You still doing the hero thing?
Jess: Of course, but now I'm the leader.
Liz: You're the leader? I can't see it.
Jess: I know right? But Mike makes a big deal out of it and I actually like it. It does put a strain but it's good.
Liz: Speaking of Mike, is he here? I haven't seen him in ages.
Jess: He's in the training room, though he's a bit not happy right now.
Liz: Why?
Jess takes Liz into the computer room and she sees the 3 and she puts her hands to her mouth.
Liz: Oh my god! Jayden, Crystal, Nelson. What happend?!
Jess: Austin.
Liz: He did this?
Jess: He's not the same guy from high school. He's a killer... Killed Mike's girlfriend.
Liz: Mike had a girlfriend?
Jess: Jealous?
Liz: No. Just happy he found someone... Even if it was short.
Jess: You can go see him, just don't go into the main hall. Take a left once you enter and you'll be in the control deck and you'll be able to watch without getting hurt.
Liz: Ok.
Liz leaves and Jess goes back to looking at the screen.

Mike: AGAIN!!!
The droid gets up and it turns into Austin. The room turns into a rooftop.
Austin: Back for another beating?
Mike: Begin.

Alice grows large and Mike climbs up her arm up to her neck and he pulls out a knife and he stabs her until she falls over and he jumps back onto the roof and Bishop stabs Mike through the chest.
Liz: MIKE!!
Mike pulls out a knife and throws it at Bishop's neck and Mike removes the blade from his body.
Mike: End Sim.
The simulation ends and Mike hears the door opens and he looks up to see Liz walking in.
Liz: Are you ok?
