He still can't forget Barrie and he knows for sure that she is pregnant with his baby. He has tried to contact her but the ambassador is evasive and won't let him get through to Barrie. So he goes to Barrie's home and finds her just about to leave to go looking for him. He asks her if she's pregnant and she confirms it. He takes her away and both of them get married.

When the threat finally appears, the enemy gets past Zane and to Barrie. Zane is frantic to get to Barrie.
