FBI: International 4.03, "Nothing Sudden About It"

When an American teenager disappears from a beach party during her senior year trip to Portugal, the Fly Team heads up the search, which is further complicated by the missing teen’s parents’ differing opinions.

The Mysticons are on the balcony, talking about families. Queen Goodfey overhears, and mentions that he says that Piper never mentioned her family. Piper says that she doesn't remember her family, and Queen Goodfey offers to look into it for her. Piper agrees.

As Piper is walking, happy about the offer, Gawayne stops her. He says that Queen Goodfey only offered that because she wants Zarya to focus on her real family. He mentions that Queen Goodfey discussed plans about what would happen if Zarya and Arkayna moves into the palace.

Piper thinks about it, and decides to spy on Queen Goodfey, convincing Arkayna to help by to Queen Goodfey about it, so Piper can hear the conversation. Arkayna tells Piper she's sure that's not the reason, but agrees to help. They go the plan, and Queen Goodfey does admit she's been thinking about what would happen if Zarya and Arkayna move into the palace. Before Arkayna can press for more information, Queen Goodfey is called for royal business.

As they are talking about it, they learn of a group of elves attacking the city. They go, and one of the elves in the group says that she recognizes Piper, and that she looks just like her mother. She gives Piper a note with a meeting place. The elves leave, and the Mysticons think that they defeated them. However, before they leave, the elves say something in elvish.

The next day, they find that Piper is gone. Arkayna reveals what they learned, and Em feels as though there's something that they're missing. While Em and Arkayna go off to find Piper, Zarya and Sharise go to talk to Queen Goodfey.

Em and Arkayna find Piper and ask her why she went off. Piper tells them what Gawayne says, and that the elves say that they know who her parents are. Em and Arkayna try to convince her that Zarya will always see Piper as a sister, and tries to talk to her about it. However, before she can, the elves return and capture Piper. Meanwhile, Sharise and Zarya talk to Queen Goodfey, who admits that she thought Piper would want to find her biological family, and still planned to let Piper stay at the palace if Piper doesn't find her biological family, or chooses to stay with Zarya, if the Mysticons stop living in the stronghold. Just then, they get a call saying that Piper is missing.

Piper is taken into a vehicle, and sees other elves captured as well. One of the elves says that the group wants elves to rule all of Gemina, as their long lives mean that things won't have to change as quickly. Piper helps everyone else escape, but is stopped before she can escape.

ANGST FEST INCOMING!!!
