Zackariah must decide if he will tell him the truth behind his mother's death, even if it risks the relationship forming between them. Jonas knows Zackariah murdered his mother. He can accept this, but not the swirling lies around the reason why he did it. If he makes the same error it will lead to not only his death, but the death of all the Enukaras, present and future.
