ireland , courtesy of finn , that was totally off the grid and far removed from any apparent trouble , the last place anyone would think to look for john . that didn ' t last long , though , as john realized he can never run from his past . so john left ep ##ip ##han ##y in ireland and returned to england to confront gemma . he stole the last dart holding the con ##co ##ction that killed his demon twin , but ultimately gave it back to gemma and told her either she could kill him , and live her life without him in but consumed with guilt for killing him , or she could let him disappear from her life forever ,
