George knocks out Higgins and takes his gun, and Murdoch leads them to the coal room. They find Brackenreid and Grace packing, while Julia is tied up. Murdoch deduces Grace and Brackenreid were in love, so they planned the kidnapping to get money to leave Canada. Grace pulls out a gun and threatens Julia, but Julia kicks her and Grace goes down. Brackenreid dives for the gun, but Murdoch gets it first.
Julia recounts the conspirators plan to go down to Buffalo and fly to Fiji, and then invites Murdoch to a production of West Side Story, which he understands as Romeo and Juliet. They're interrupted by Crabtree, who tells them he's off suspension and gets his gun back (affectionately named "Aunt Daisy"). Julia gets another officer to take a picture of the three of them, while Murdoch reluctantly gets George to hit him again.
Back in 1899, George and Brackenreid tell him they found Grace Crandell's gambling problem but not her bookie. Murdoch quickly sends them to Union Station to find the pair, where they're waiting to go to Buffalo. Murdoch then goes out with Julia, who invites him to a production of Romeo and Juliet. In a twist ending, Murdoch discovers he still has the cell phone with the picture of modern day Crabtree, Julia, and him.
