Raina wakes up deep in the sewers, badly injured and distraught over Jack's fate. Matthew tells her that he saved her but could not save Jack. He also states his resentment for the things his father has done. On a hope, Raina asks Matthew if he can go to the base and get Jack out, and that she could likely heal whatever injuries he sustained. However, when Matthew arrives, he is too late as Jack has already been taken into surgery. Raina calls Kalius, distraught, and informs him of what has transpired.
She sinks into a depression for the rest of the night and the next morning, wakes up determined to get her love back. She moves forward with their plan to reconfigure the psi-shields and take down the base. She works tirelessly without sleep or food and is only startled out of it by the arrival of Matthew, Kalius, Shadow, and surprisingly Grim. They inform her that Jack has been mentally wiped and tricked into loyalty to John. Nearly losing herself with rage, Raina demands to know why she should not kill Grim on sight for what he has caused.
Kalius explains that Grim broke them all out after Shadow "did something" to him. Raina relaxes once Shadow assures her that Grim is no longer a traitor to them. She then turns her focus to a more pressing and heartrending matter.. Jack. With Grim's magical aide, Raina reaches out through their link and calls out to Mind. She pleads with him to break John's control, calling forth memories of their friendship and their new-found love. In the end, Jack is able to snap John's control and they bring him back to the safehouse.
