Summary:After their escape from Terminal Island, Jensen and Joe part ways in Long Beach; Joe plans to see his family, and Jensen intends to get Piper back. Two and a half months later, they meet back up in Santa Rosalía.

When Case joins them, Jensen finds he's starting to have a family again.

Review: I like how this story keeps the three main characters in play through their emails, even though a large portion of the story follows Jensen when he is on his own.

Once their stories start merging, the epistolary portions aren't as heavily represented, but they taper off in a way that feels natural to the story. Joe and Jensen are both kept in character throughout, right down to their antagonistic take on friendship that turns into an antagonistic and competitive romantic relationship.
