They talk about how Charlie 'started over', disappearing off the face of the earth as Daniel puts it, but Charlie says she kept the name and family, so it wouldn't be that hard to find her. Charlie says her, Sam, and Max traveled the world over the years and she can speak 30 languages. Charlie mentions a club that she and her brothers bought and it closed down but 'the girls' still live there. Daniel asks why she gave up the 'perfect life' to start over.

Dylan says they moved to town when they were 6. Dylan goes in his bag and finds Charlie's journal. Ace reads it and sees the first entry is from 1669, and the person writing was 11.
