[Plot Locked to Rachel]
Jo gets out of the Caroline as soon as they hit the edge of the Metropolis.
It doesn't matter that she's bleeding in too many places. It doesn't matter that Jack gives her a look, even knowing the catatonic girl in the back seat can't be abandoned. What matters is she's lost her hold on needing to shoot a demon or a beaten little girl, who may be exactly the same things, and neither of those is looking like a bad option any longer. But one of them is, and one of them is right, and she knows it isn't her.
She stares at the tail lights until they fade.
Wanting to fall to her knees, she starts limping walking.
