“In the clip, Jax feels like she’s the only one truly searching for her missing sister, Tawi,” [Erica] Tremblay tells Deadline. “However, when she discovers that her brother JJ has betrayed her by withholding a crucial piece of information, Jax is pushed further into a spiral of alienation and doubt, fearing that she may never be reunited with her sister again.”
