Cassie is alone in New York in 2012. She wanders around considering her next move and falling further into despair, not knowing if Izzy is alive. She considers searching for the younger Drummond, then remembers he’s gone into hiding. Finally, she determines the best way to find the Book of Doors and go home is to find Mr. Webber. She goes to his apartment and asks him for the book, but he doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Instead, he gives her some money for food and leaves her alone.

Yearning for somewhere familiar, Cassie goes to Kellner Books. Mr. Webber walks in and Cassie cautiously approaches him again. She recounts the embarrassing story he shared with her many times before to make him believe her. He checks her cellphone and determines that it’s from the future. Although he’s willing to consider her story, he tells her he’s never heard of the Book of Doors. He agrees to let her stay the night at his apartment so she can rest before finding a solution.
