Jack Carter was relaxing on his couch in his bunker, watching the game when Lexi came in.

“Jack, can we talk?” she inquired hesitantly.

“Sure,” he said as he sat up to face her. “S.A.R.A.H. , turn off the game and record it.

“Right away, Sheriff Carter,” agreed the bunker.

“Now, you were saying?” Jack prompted his sister.

“I'm sorry for interfering with Zoe,” Lexi said.

Jack was surprised. “Thanks. What brought this on?”

“I was thinking that if I hadn't interfered, Zoe wouldn't have gone exploring and you wouldn't have had to risk being phased out of existence,” Lexi rushed.

“Have a seat,” Jack said as he patted the seat next to him. “I appreciate the apology. I really do. But Zoe, Pilar and Lucas would have gone exploring. Their teenagers, it's what they do.”

“I really should have listened to you. Captain Eureka was not the hero I thought he was,” Lexi said.

“Not he wasn't. He was just a guy trying to impress a girl,” Jack agreed.

Lexi leaned over and hugged her brother. “You're the only hero this town needs.

“Thanks,” Jack said as he hugged her back. When they straightened up Jack suggested, “How about you, me, and Zoe go into Salem and see a movie?”

“Great idea. I know the perfect movie,” Lexi said mischievously.

“What?” he asked playing along.

“The Dark Knight,” Lexi said suppressing a giggle.

“Very funny,” Jack said as he stood up and grabbed his jacket.
