They go in and the stage manager, Amanda approaches them. As they go in, Carly asks Amanda how her mother is doing, and Amanda is surprised that Carly remembers.
At the project, the team tells Addison that Ben is at Chicago, April 24, 1979. Addison wants to find out what Ben was saying about why he leapt, and goes into the imaging chamber.
Carly is singing on stage while Ben watches, her band playing backup during her sound check. Addison appears next to Ben and says that Carly is good, and asks Ben to tell her everything. He says that he remembers working with Janis, and what he was doing was the only way to save Addison. Addison is angry that Ben didn't tell her she was in danger, and Ben figures that eventually he'll remember it all. Ben tells Addison what he's already learned, and Addison says that Ziggy has confirmed that Carly dies during her sound check.
Ben runs up to the stage and tackles Carly out of the way of a falling light, saving her from her destined death. Trevor runs out and confirms that Carly is okay, and Addison appears on the stage and reports from Ziggy that now Carly is murdered that night.
At the project, Magic, Jenn, and Ian go over what they know. Ian and Magic both figure that Ben is trying to build up enough momentum to jump into the future and save Addison. Jenn isn't so sure, Magic wonders if Janis is helping them. Ian has repurposed Ziggy's code to confirm that Janis has gone to one of 40 cities across the world. Jenn figures that Janis is in Belize, where she would have access to a nuclear power plant and wouldn't stand out.
In 1979, Carly is partying with fans and other musicians. Ziggy confirms that Carly will be stabbed and killed while working alone Lakeshore Drive. Ben figures that Carly's entourage would know Carly's schedule well enough to figure while she's at. The members of the entourage include Charise, the makeup artist; Dante the hairstylist; and Loretta and Dionne, the backup singers. Cary comes up and asks him how he moved so fast to save her. She figures it's part of his job, and Addison tells Ben to tell her the truth. He doesn't and she goes to get some air. Addison says that she's going to go back and do some research on Carly's murder/
Ben joins Carly on the balcony, and she kisses him. He draws back in surprise, and Carly says that after what Jack said a week ago, she though he was interested. Ben says that she's been through a lot, and he needs to focus on doing his job. They both chuckle, and they talk about being away from home and who they left behind to get there. Ben is called to Trevor, and Dionne and Loretta tell him that Carly's younger sister Jamie is there and claims she was invited to the party when she wasn't. The backup singers figure Ben shouldn't tell Carly her junkie sister is there.
Ben goes out and talks to Jamie, while Addison appears and says that according to the court records, Jamie murdered Carly. Jamie shows Ben the ticket and the party invitation she was sent, and when Ben hesitates, she figures that she was sent the invitation by mistake. Ben says that it wasn't an accident, despite Addison telling him not to, and Jamie tells Ben that she's been clean and sober for a while. She asks Ben to tell Carly that she loves her, and will be in the audience cheering. Jamir says where she'll be staying in case Carly wants to talk to her.
Afterward, Ben talks to Addison and figures that Jamie doesn't seem like a killer. Carly dies in less than three hours.
While Jamie meets with an interviewer, at the project Addison has Ian look for evidence that Jamie was framed. He says that he also has his doubts because he's non-binary. Meanwhile at the interview, the interviewer asks Carly when she last saw Jamie. Carly says that it's been six years, and Jamie was the real talent in the family.
Ian confirms that Jamie has a history of drug abuse and Carly had a restraining order issued against her.
Trevor tells Ben that he heard that Jamie showed up. Ben says that Jamie seemed eager to reconnect, as does Carly. The manager draws Ben aside and shows him threatening letters that Jamie sent to Carly.
According to the records, Ian confirms that Jamie didn't have an alibi for the time of the murder. She also sent Carly threatening letters. Ian points out that all the letters were written on a typewriter, and an angry person wouldn't have bothered. There was no blood on Jamie, even though she supposedly stabbed her and took the bag back to her motel room.
Ben starts to compare the typewriter used for the invitation to the one on the threatening letter. Trevor takes the letter, says that Jamie wrote both, and leaves with the letter. Addison appears and Ben admits that he might have been wrong, and she tells him he might not have been and Trevor will make tens of millions if Carly dies.
Jenn goes to Belize and finds Janis at an outdoor café. Jenn says that she just wants to talk, and figures that Janis is risking everything to help Ben save Addison's life. She asks how Addison is going to die, and Janis tells her that she should be wondering why Ben came to her instead of the team.
Ben and Addison go over the case, and Addison points out that Trevor helped Carly write her songs when Jamie stopped, but he isn't credited and doesn't get the publishing rights. With Carly dead and Jamie in dead, he gets the publishing rights and $15 million. Addison suggests they set a trap, and Ben should tell her some of the truth and try trusting her. Ben wonders if Addison is mad at her, and figures he had a good reason not tell her even if he can't remember it. Addison isn't convinced, and says that they were a team. Ben has no answer to that, and Addison tells him to go back to Carly why she sees what proof she can dig up.
Carly prepares to go for a walk on the lake, and Ben says that she can't. When Carly demands the truth, Ben tells her that Jamie was there. Trevor comes in, overhears him, and is angry that Ben went against his wishes. Ben tells Carly that he has no proof that Jamie is dangerous, but he thinks there's a threat and it's best if they don't see each other. Carly says that she doesn't believe Jamie would hurt her. He says that it's job to protect her from everyone, including herself. The singer agrees but says that they're still going out.
At the project, Addison admits to Magic that she's angry that Ben denied her the chance to protect herself. Magic agrees with her and is mad that Ben didn't tell them anything before he left. He figures they have to share the burden of the feelings and they're a team.
Carly and her entourage go to a bar, while Ben stands watch. Dante says that he doesn't know what would happen if his job was over. The entourage goes off, and Carly apologizes to Ben for snapping at him early. She says that she thought she would protect Jamie and failed, and Ben agrees that they can't always protect the ones they love.
