Events of Episode 13 and Episode 14 takes place a month apart.
So this is just what happens in between in this story.

Josie POV
This evening I confessed my age-old crush on Hope in front of Hope & Lizzie
Also about the fire, I started and destroyed half of Hope's staff including the only painting she made with her dad. And all the confusion and hatred I started between Hope and Lizzie. And all this is because I was being selfish for a single moment.
I have kept my feelings for Hope in a box and pushed to the furthest corner in my heart as possible for years, and now again I have to do the same. But this time, both Hope and Lizzie know my secret.
After Hope left our room, Lizzie was giving me the cold shoulders. I thought its best to give her some time and talk in the morning. And I probably have to talk to Hope in the morning too.
Present
In the front door, I'm with Lizzie waiting for dad, Hope, and Rafael to come because Landon died.
I was so worried but my confession that I didn't consider to paid attention to what had happened to Hope, she just lost the person she loved the most.
Flashback To today evening
Confessing my crush, my crime, Hope to leave with a confusing yet pleasant face. Lizzie has not spoken a word, yet confused, gone to bed, I am tossing and turning in my bed do not know what to do. Lizzie went for dinner without me, I have eaten dinner alone, no MG, Rafael, Kelab, even Hope is not there for dinner, she is probably ignoring me, mostly hates me by now.
After dinner I went by dad’s office, he is not there, then went to Hope’s room which was locked with magic, I don't want to intervene in her personal space after I just drop two booms, one - me having a crush is probably not that big of a boom as a lot of people probably have a crush on her. But me destroying her room, was something, I do not think she is going to forgive me.
Almost early morning, around 3 a.m.
I woke up to a sound, some kind of alarm, then found on the nightstand, in between Lizzie and my bed’s an envelope with a phone inside is ringing.
On the envelope written in Dad’s handwriting,
Went out -in case of emergency - probably taking it back when I come back
-love Dad
I pick up the phone with caller ID Dr. Saltzman,
Josie- hey dad what's up?
Alaric - something happened, something serious, Landon is dead, will explain everything when we reach, Kelab took MG back, wake Emma tell her to talk to MG, and ask Kelab to take MG not you or Lizzie or anyone else do you understand?
He was very serious on the last part.
Alaric- And wait I will talk after we get back.
Josie - okay bye dad. Don't worry everything will be fine.
Alaric- yeah honey bye.
I hung up the phone,
"Everything is going to be fine " I took a breath and I told myself.
How can I even say that or think that Hope just lost the love of her life, after everything she has suffered, after everyone she had lost, now she lost Landon too, I don't know what to think, and I told her I had a crush on her, wait, Josie Saltzman she is devastated, something you can't even try to understand, and you are worried about your stupid confession, which probably she forgot.
Anyway, it’s time to be practical
I woke Lizzie up, even though she was a bit sad/angry at me, and not a sport to wake up at this time of the day, but when I told her what had happened, she was immediately ready to do as needed.
Within 2 minutes
We were in front of Emma’s room trying to explain the situation best to our knowledge, she immediately went with us downstairs, Kelab and MG came first as dad had already told me. Kelab was sad, MG was lost, he had bloodstains on his collar, side of his mouth, Emma took him, Kelab followed them, Lizzie was dumbfounded by MG, she probably couldn't imagine MG like this, no one can.
