   Summary

   After the energy beams hit Five at the end of season 3, he is left completely deaf. This is him trying to adjust to Reginald's new world with the help of Diego and Lila. That is until Reginald intercedes and lets him know that he is in need of his help. Five finds that he will have to keep giving until there is nothing left of him. However, Diego demonstrates that Five is not the only sibling willing to go to great lengths to keep his brother safe.
