==Transcript==
'''Jonas:''' Here we are! Lake Clandon. (''Pans over the lake'') I'd really like to thank ooxxkt, Brandy, and Bear for helping me decode the documents that I found in the [[Resistance]] [[Lonelygirl15_minor_locations#Bunker_7|bunker]]. Thanks to you guys we figured out that the documents made up of signal flags and morse code contained a location, Lake Clandon, followed by a series of very, very vague instructions. I guess whoever wrote this things must have had some kind of a naval background. (''Sniffs'') Yeah, that smells like a clue. (''Cut to Jonas at the edge of the lake'') This is so... so weird. I've been here before. Yeah... I used to go fishing here with my [[Jonas's parents|dad]] when I was a kid. Maybe there was more to those trips than I thought. (''Cut to a tree and Jonas looking up it'') (''Laughs'') Ahh! I have no idea what I'm looking for to be honest. First part of the code translated as "Caldon Lake." Kay, we're here. But then it said, "by the marked tree," so... I'm guessing one of the trees around here's gotta have some sort of marking on it? I don't know. Keep your eyes open. Oh, yeah, I guess I gotta do that.

(''Cut to some fast footage of Jonas searching various trees'')

'''Jonas:''' And here we are at tree one billion six hundred and ninety seven thousand. I don't even know. Maybe I've already seen the mark. I mean, I don't even know what I'm looking for. (''Cut to Jonas kneeled at a tree. The camera pans from the bottom up until a Resistance symbol is seen''.) Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. That's a... that's a... what's it called? Theta? Theta (''snaps fingers'') Theta Pi! It's an anti-order symbol. It's the same one that Bree [[How Dumb Am I?|found]] in my parent's cabin. I think we've found our marked tree, people.

(''Cut to an angled shot from the ground of Jonas in front of the tree with his bag and equipment next to him''.)

'''Jonas:''' (''Pulls out documents'') Okay, so here's the deal. This right here (''shows alpha naval signal flag upside down'') this is the signal... (''turns it right side up'') this is the signal flag for the letter A. It's also an abbreviation for "Diver Down." Yeah, diver down. So I guess... (''laughs'') I guess that means whatever I'm looking for is in the water. I'm going swimming! (''Stuffs documents into bag'') And the last part was in morse code and it said "black rock" so I'm looking for a black rock in the water. (''Sniffs'') Sounds easy. (''Grabs shovel'') Good thing I'm prepared, huh? (''Grabs the camera'')

(''Cut to Jonas crouched down in front of the camera in his bathing suit''.)

'''Jonas:''' Okay, so I guess I'm not as prepared as I thought. Didn't bring flip-flops. (''Sighs'') All right, anyway, (''clears throat'') I'm gonna have to leave you guys here for this part. Wish me luck. (''Goes to walk away'') This better be worth it. That's all I'm saying.

(''Jonas gets up and heads over to the water with his shovel. Noise from behind the camera can be heard''.)

'''Jonas:''' Big rocks, big rocks!

(''Jonas goes out of view and we hear footsteps approaching. Two gloved hands appear in the shot and begin rummaging through Jonas' bag. They pull out a pair of laboratory goggles. They fumble through the rope and finally find the documents underneath''.)

'''Jonas:''' Hey! Hey!

(''The gloved person fumbles with the documents but scoops them up and runs away''.)

'''Jonas:''' (''Running after the person'') Hey! Ow! Damn it!

(''Cut to Jonas holding his bag close to the river''.)

'''Jonas:''' Okay, I don't know who that was. I was too far out. I couldn't really see. But I'm thinking I better get this done before they come back. What do you think? (''Walks down to the edge of the lake'') Let's get to digging.

(''Cut to fast footage of Jonas digging around in the water. Jonas picks up a black rock and examines it''.)

'''Jonas:''' Ha! Ha ha! (''Lifts up rock'') Ha ha ha ha! Ha! (''Runs over to the camera with the rock'') Black rock, same symbol. (''Throws rock down'') Got it.

(''Jonas goes back into the water and starts digging. Eventually, his shovel hits something. He begins to dig frantically and pulls out a silver briefcase and walks back to the camera''.)

'''Jonas:''' I got it! I got it. I got it.

(''Cut to Jonas with his shirt on under the tree'')

'''Jonas:''' All right, so this is what's inside. (''Holds up a plastic covered document with signatures'') It looks like... some sort of a mission statement and it's got a bunch of signatures on it. Right? So I did a quick check online. Every single name on here, signed in full, corresponds with every initial on my dad's [[The Order in the Modern Empire|thesis]]. My dad's name is on this paper alongside eleven other names including Michael Byron Carruthers. (''Gets louder'') As in... (''turns around to see if anyone is around and gets quieter'') as in [[Lord Carruthers]]. No, why would Lord Carruthers' name be on a Resistance document? I don't know. (''Grabs breifcase'') But we're gonna find out.

(''Cut to Jonas lying on the grass near his truck'')

'''Jonas:''' You know, when I think of this lake or this mission statement... (''sighs'') it makes me realize this is getting all very, very personal. You know, I started this trip out with Gina's drawings and now everything, everything's leading back to my parents. You know, when I first found out they were still [[Hey Dad|alive]], man... that's a feeling that's just impossible to describe. When they didn't [[A Family Affair|remember]] me, I just... I just kinda gave up on em. I gave up on ever knowing the truth about their role in the Resistance, what happened to them after they disappeared, just- just the whole thing. Maybe that's what this is all about.

==Notes==
*Jonas posted a copy of the paper he found in the briefcase in his chat: http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/forum/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=17890&p=610968&hilit=#p610968

'''Jonas Whanton''' a.k.a. '''jonastko''' is a [[Revver]]/[[YouTube]] user who started leaving video comments on [[Bree]]'s videos and eventually became friends with Bree and [[Daniel]]. Most of his initial videos take place in what he says is his father's study.

Jonas's first videos were uploaded from [[Jonas's house|his house]]. He lived there alone because his [[Jonas's parents|parents]] were reportedly [[Happy Thanksgiving|lost at sea]] when he was thirteen years old. He seems to have inherited their house, a cabin in the mountains, and a large sum of money.

==Background==
Although an amount of money is never given, Jonas owns a large house, a cabin, at least two vehicles, and appears to have paid all of Bree and Daniel's bills for several months. Jonas has also mentioned that he does not work and has no intention to. Prior to turning 18, he had a full-time nanny and attended a lot of psychotherapy. To support this lifestyle indefinitely, Jonas must have inherited at least several million dollars.

Jonas says that he has been too quick to trust people in the past. He has been taken advantage of for his money and mentions that once he stopped throwing giant parties, a lot of his friends stopped calling him.

Many fans have observed that Jonas is something of a "lonelyboy". While Bree turned to books and stuffed animals, Jonas has turned to pop-culture and sports. Jonas makes constant references to movies and TV shows, often very obscure ones, and also enjoys extreme sports, boxing and foosball.

===Adventures with TAAG===
Jonas offered Bree and Daniel help in the form of [[Trust Issues|shelter and financial support]]. [[Bree]] and [[Daniel]] were wary of going to live with a stranger that they met over the internet, but Jonas insisted. He gave them a [[The Anti-Cribs|virtual tour]] of his house and suggested that they test him so he could prove that his trustworthiness. Daniel took his suggestions and [[The Test|asked fans to vote]] on what they thought they should do. Fans chose to trust Jonas, but [[Your Decision|Daniel refused to go]], [[Skateboarding|leaving Bree alone with Jonas.]] He eventually came to live with them at [[Christmas Surprise|Christmas time]].

Jonas gained Bree and Daniel's trust and friendship after he came through for Daniel when [[Bree's Gone|Bree ran away]], and after he helped them escape when [[45 Seconds|Bree's father died]]. When Daniel was [[Daniel's Missing!|abducted]] by [[OpAphid]], Jonas was quick to offer his [[Looking For Daniel|assistance]], and also to [[Sleepover|assure]] Daniel that while they were on the road nothing would happen between Bree and himself. Although they were forced to sleep in a bed together on their way to rescue Daniel, Jonas very gentlemanly created "The Great Wall of Jonas"-a barrier between him and Bree while they slept. Jonas also participated in [[The Human Ransom|Daniel's rescue]], although he had previously expressed [[Storm The Castle|concerns]] about Bree's [[Me For Daniel|method]] of rescue.

After the rescue, BDJ's decided that Jonas's house was too [[Watch This!|risky]] to stay at, and headed to his [[Jonas's cabin|cabin]] in the mountains. While on the [[Yellow Snow|ride]] up there, they all got along, almost as soon as they arrived, tension began. Beginning with Bree and Jonas's [[Snow Angels|outing]] in the snow that excluded Daniel, causing him to [[Jonas Sucks|lash out]] in a video where he expressed his jealousy and contempt for Jonas. While Bree attempted to [[Men Are From Mars|keep the peace]], both boys refused to discuss their derision until they were able to [[Cracked The File|crack the file]] given to them by [[Tachyon]] when she and [[Brother]] helped save Daniel, and the feud seemed to have ended and their trust back in tact.

This trust was temporarily shattered, however, when Bree suspected Jonas of [[How Dumb Am I?|being in the Order]] and [[Interrogation 101|held him hostage]]. Jonas managed to [[Proving Bree Wrong|prove his innocence]] in the eyes of Bree and Daniel by showing them a document written by his father proving [[Jonas's parents|his parents]] were against [[the Order]].

[[Image:0149jonasfleshwound.JPG|thumb|Flesh wound.]]
Jonas didn't forgive Bree for holding him hostage right away, but stuck with her and Daniel. He brought Bree and Daniel to his [[On The Road Again|Aunt Alex's house]], who was away on business at the time. Jonas tried breaking into his Aunt's office to see if there was more information about his parents and their involvement with the Order, but ended up [[Flesh Wound|cutting his hand in the process]]. After a trip to a local veterinarian to get fixed, Jonas found a [[My Hand Hurts|folder]] containing names of people who were also against the Order but had disappeared. Jonas's aunt came back in town, and Jonas and Daniel were invited by [[Alex]] to a [[Uncle Dan|fashion party]]. Daniel and Alex appeared to be very interested in each other, much to Jonas's dismay. Jonas's cousin [[Toby]] was also at this party, whom he hadn't seen since his [[Jonas's parents|parents]] funeral. Bree posted a [[Lucy!?!?!|video]] saying there was a photo at the party which she thought was Alex and [[Lucy]] and warned the guys to leave Alex's home and meet up with her.

After a short reunion, the three headed to [[Las Vegas]]. While there, Bree went to [[Vegas, Baby!|tour Vegas]], while Jonas and Daniel got drunk. After three days in Vegas, BDJ was [[Subjects Apprehended|abducted]] by the Order, who [[Psychological Torture|psychologically tortured]] them and temporarily persuaded Bree to do the Ceremony. The three were able to [[Communication Terminated|escape]] their captors, and began trying to piece together [[Missing Days|what had happened to them during that time]].

After their escape, they lived out of Jonas's car, but eventually decided to track Alex down, which took them to [[Mexico]]. While they were there, they overheard her arguing with a member of the Order about BDJ's kidnapping. The next day, Bree was [[Spring Break Sucks|left alone]] to think about their plight while Daniel and Jonas once again got drunk.

The following day, Daniel and Bree went to Alex and [[Confrontation|confronted]] her about her activities in the Order. Alex denied that she knew anything about the kidnapping that took place in Vegas. Daniel seemed to believe her, and later [[Apology Accepted?|helped]] Alex film and edit a video explaining her true feelings. Jonas's forgiveness last only few days, until Alex alerted the Order to BDJ's location. However, when the Order arrived, Alex said that they were there for her, not Bree. Apparently, according to Alex, the Order had found a new girl to complete the Ceremony and no longer needed Bree.

After finding out about Alex's [[Lying Bastards|true allegiance]], BDJ headed to a [[The bunker|bunker]] where Bree began investigating who the [[New Girl|new girl]] might be. While they were in the bunker, Jonas and Bree were forced to hold an [[Intervention|intervention]] for Daniel, as he had started, once again, [[Running For Life|drinking heavily]]. After their attempted intervention, Bree found [[Sloppy Drunk|more information]] on a possible lead to the new girl, who she began to believe was a girl named [[Jules]]. While Bree was busy investigating the possibility of a new girl, Jonas tried to hypnotize himself and Daniel to find out what happened to them in [[Psychological Torture|captivity]], but had [[What Happened to Us???|no success.]] Within days, Bree noticed posts from a girl named [[Taylor]] living in [[Zavalla]], Texas who told her that she recognized Julia. After nearly a fortnight spent in the bunker, the three decided to [[OUT OF THE BUNKER!!!|leave]] and find Julia to warn her that she was in danger.

Upon leaving the bunker, Daniel, Bree, and Jonas headed to Texas to find the new [[New Girl|Ceremony girl]]. BDJ teamed up with [[Sarah]] and [[Taylor]] and were able to locate [[Jules]]. Later, Bree gave herself up to save Jules, and Daniel and Jonas spent the next month following the Order and trying to save her. Finally locating where Bree had been hidden, Daniel, along with Jonas and Sarah, went to her, where they forcibly took back a [[I hAtE tHeSe PeOpLe|brainwashed]] Bree.

A short while after trying to "unbrainwash" a very resistant Bree, Jonas became convinced that she had snapped out of it and the two started to become closer. Although Daniel was suspicious that Jonas was [[Taking Advantage of Her]], Jonas continued getting closer to Bree and [[HOLY SH%T!!!|slept with her]] the day before she [[The Morning After|ran back]] to the [[Hymn of One]].

Recruiting the help of [[Spencer]] Gilman, the son of [[Isaac Gilman]], Jonas once again set out to save Bree. Through many hardships, TAAG followed Bree's trail all the way to the Ceremony, where [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 10 of 12 - 5 pm|Bree died.]] Directly after her death, Jonas was shattered, Taylor [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 11 of 12 - 6 pm|said:]]''"...I think, when Bree died, it's like... she took him with her. He's empty and emotionless... He isn't Jonas anymore."''

===Life After Bree===
After the death of Bree, Jonas fell into a deep depression which many thought he would not recover from.

[[Image:0263-JonasInMourning.jpg|thumb|left|Jonas in mourning.]]
Jonas, like many other characters, [[I'm Done|announced]] he would no longer be posting videos. Soon after this, however, the mysterious [[Claire|LaRezisto]] posted a [[Remember Them?|video]] showing his parents and telling Jonas that they are alive. Although Jonas initially reacted in anger at seeing his parents again, he decided to [[A Family Affair|reunite]] with them. At this reunion, Jonas met his adopted sister, [[Emma]], for the first time and also found out that his parents are active members of the Hymn of One. Taylor found out that Emma was the next [[trait positive]] girl, and after The Order [[Home Invasion|invaded]] their home and demanded Emma, Jonas took her on the [[Grand Canyon|run.]] Later, he lost Emma when he decided to trust LaRezisto and [[Watch Your Back|handed Emma over]] to [[Claire]], the woman behind the LaRezisto posts. When several [[She's Telling The Truth|alarming videos]] were posted by Emma and Claire, Jonas started to become [[Pi|obsessed]] with finding a code in Emma's gestures.

After an upsetting [[Batting Practice|phone call]] with his father, Jonas told us he would no longer be helping anyone and only focusing on getting Emma back, but he was soon back to fighting the Order by helping Daniel and Sonia [[They'll Do Anything|kidnap]] the new [[Ceremony baby]]. After Mallory [[A Woman's Touch|secretly got information]] from [[Chris]], Daniel posted a video [[What's Going on?|following]] Chris to a meeting in which it was revealed that the [[Hymn Of One|HoO]] had created a partnership between themselves, [[Verdus Pharmaceuticals]], and the [[Wyman Foundation]].

His next video was a dramatic, unedited copy of the current tape in the camera, showing us how he, Daniel and Sarah had found the solution to Emma's code on the forums and [[Is This The End?|broken into Pleasant Manor]], only to be surrounded by [[Shadows]] and seemingly doomed. Luckily, [[Virgil]] had either followed them or obtained the location elsewhere, and [[What Happened?|stormed in at just the right moment]], allowing Jonas and the gang to leave with Emma.

While he was glad Emma was saved, Jonas was also [[Cat Hunt|devastated]] about how easily LaRezisto had played and used him, and vowed to stop trying to save the Ceremony Girls in favor of bringing down the Order as a whole. Initially, though, his new mission didn't receive a ton of support, as both Daniel and Sarah were busy contemplating and managing their own lives. Jonas decided to take matters into his own hands and investiged the [[connections]] between the Hymn of One, Verdus Pharmaceuticals and the Wyman Foundation.

===Going After the Lullaby Project===
After realizing the connection was nothing more than each organization was a front for the Order, Jonas decided to [[The Ladies Room|investigate]] the [[Lullaby Project]]. Taking Sarah along with him, the two infiltrated the [[The Lullaby Project Center]] and found multi-vitamins from [[Verdus Pharmaceuticals]] there. After making a narrow escape, they went with Daniel on a [[Abducted?!|stakeout]], following a Lullaby Project truck. However, Jonas and Sarah disappeared in the midst of their investigation, leaving Daniel alone, believing that his friends had been abducted. After four long days in the back of the Lullaby Project truck, Jonas and Sarah were able to finally post a [[Groping in the Dark|video]] telling us that they had been investigating when they got locked in and unable to escape. Although they were [[Rescued?!|rescued]] from the truck the following day, it was not by Daniel. Their rescuers were [[Carl]], [[Chris]], and [[Claudia]], who welcomed them to the Lullaby Project. While Sarah felt like the Lullaby Project was innocent, Jonas remained suspicious of anything related to the HoO, and decided to leave. Although Sarah went with him, he soon became frustrated with her and [[DANGEROUS DESERT|left her]] alone in the desert.

Feeling guilty, he returned, but Sarah had vanished. At first, Jonas was very worried, but after finding out Sarah had talked to Taylor and was fine, he began focusing on a mysterious [[Would you pick me up?|package]] he had received at his motel door. Unable to understand the tapes contents, he [[Who's that girl?|posted]] his findings on the website for everyone to see, and then, still unable to make heads or tails of it, posted [[Doctor Visit|another VHS video]] left at his door. When Taylor made the [[OMG! You have to save her!|discovery]] that one could see the [[Dr. Calvin Hart|doctors face]], Jonas set out to the Lullaby camp to speak with him. Once there, Jonas found Dr. Hart packing his bags and getting ready to leave the encampment. After leaving, Jonas had a [[Evil Drug Company Exposed!|sit down]] with the doctor, who told him that the trait positive girls' blood had been altered, causing them to die at an early age.

[[Image:0364-Emmaonbed.jpg|thumb|right|Emma comes back into Jonas's life]]
A few days later, Jonas and Dr. Hart were [[Killers at the Door?!|disrupted]] by knocking at their door, afraid they had been found by Verdus, they began to flee, however, before they could, the hotel manager got into their room with Emma, who had made her way to Jonas. Jonas later [[Playing Doctor|explained]] that Emma had run away after showing her parents [[Gina]]'s videos and they wouldn't listen to her. After a disturbing [[Jonas Conference Call|conference call]] which [[Virgil]] somehow hacked into, Jonas and Dr. Hart decided to take Emma and run, but not before realizing they were being [[Corporate Thugs Are Stalking Us|stalked.]] Realizing there might be a [[Spies In Our Midst|spy]] betraying them, Jonas posted a video warning everyone to be careful and not giving away where they were or where they were headed.

The next day, Jonas and Dr. Hart, went to meet with a reporter from the Times who claimed he wanted to interview them about Verdus and the Order, however, before the reporter arrived, thugs from Verdus somehow [[They Shot Him!|found]] their location and kidnapped Dr. Hart. Days later Jonas really did [[Killed By Big Pharma|meet]] with the reporter who told him he would not print the story unless he had Dr. Hart to back it up. After [[Party Crashers|saving Sarah]] from the HoO, Jonas and [[Jennie]] [[Splitting Up|kept]] Emma with them in Mexico while Daniel took Sarah home.

While still in Mexico, Jonas and Jennie were able to [[Cream or Sugar?|spy]] on Carl and Lucy, but Carl sees them and gives them a note from Dr. Hart saying to meet them at the lullaby village. Although when they found Dr. Hart he told them he was sorry and to run, Lucy and a watcher pulled up in an SUV and were able to knock out Jonas and [[KIDNAPPED!|kidnap]] Emma.

===Finding Emma===
Jonas was [[Long Drive Home|brought home by Jennie]], who later [[Attracted to Danger|decided to stay with them]], and immediately fell into an all-too-familiar depression, leading to drinking and questions like "How stupid is Jonas?". Luckily for him, however, Daniel and Sarah broke into [[Ted McKinley]]'s apartment in the meantime, and obtained [[Ted McKinley Memo|a memo]]. Jonas and Daniel [[San Francisco Live Event|met the fans]] and asked them to decipher its coded message, and, on the same day, bugged Lucy's car. Through that bug, they were able to [[Bloodlines: Part 1|track Lucy to Emma's location]], and quickly found out that the house they were led to was actually owned by the name deciphered from the memo. Originally, they had contacted Virgil and expected to meet him there, but Virgil was captured and shot, giving Lucy the chance to escape with Emma. They found information about a house block Porter rented in his house, and saw Dr. Hart, and later Emma, in it. However, when Daniel only returned with Gina from it, Jonas disregarded his own safety and just [[Bloodlines: Part 2|stormed into the house]], trying to safe Emma. Jonas sneaked through the building, avoiding dozens of Watchers, while following a Female Doctor. In an eerie case of déjà vu, he found Emma right when the Ceremony began, and, with Dr. Hart's help, was able to escape with her.

[[Image:0415-JonasAngry.jpg|thumb|left|Jonas flips out.]]
After their escape, Jonas and the gang took Gina with them into hiding. Once in hiding, tensions began to run [[4 Girls, 2 Guys|high]], as the girls outnumbered the boys. Although Daniel claimed that he could see much of Bree in Gina, Jonas remained doubtful. While Daniel and Sarah began to become [[Playing With Wood|closer again]], Jonas and Jennie began fighting about Emma's choices. After Emma's choice to [[I Love You All|leave]] TAAG and rejoin her parents, Jonas [[Things Fall Apart|flipped out]] on Jennie, but Gina stopped this by telling him that she was the one who gave Emma the money to leave. The next day, Jonas was [[I Lost It|remorseful]] about his reaction to Emma's departure and wished that he could apologize to his friends. Because tension was at it's highest at that point, Daniel decided to buy [[inebriated|beer]] for everyone. While Daniel stayed sober, the rest [[Hot Tubbing|partied]]. The next morning, Daniel was the only one feeling [[Hangover Hell|fine]] while the others were completely exhausted. On this morning, Jonas found that Sarah had posted Gina's drawings and Daniel recognized one of the drawings as [[Bree's parents|Bree's mom.]] The whole gang had to once again [[Born to Run|relocate]] after seeing William Porter's [[Shadow]] in their latest video.

While Sarah and Daniel watched the video from William Porter's Shadow, Jonas found that [[Spicing Things Up|Gina disappeared]] suddenly. Daniel and Jonas set out to [[Looking for Gina|look for Gina]] and found her at Bree's house. While they were leaving from Bree's house, a black SUV approached with Lucy and the Shadow inside. Jonas posted a video saying that they got away from the Shadow but that there's [[Out of Control|too much going on]] for him and that he couldn't sleep. Jonas got into a huge fight with Daniel because he went off on Gina for putting their lives at risk. Jonas realized that they couldn't control Gina because he tried doing that before with Emma.

===Searching For Answers===
TAAG decided to split up; Jonas and Jennie decided to go with Gina to find Bree's mom while Sarah and Daniel would stay back at the rented house. Gina watched Jonas and Jennie [[What Have I Done?|get ready]] to leave to look for Bree's mom and revealed that she felt guilty because she felt like she was splitting the team up. The next morning, Jonas tried to wake up Jennie, but did not [[In the Bedroom|realize]] that there was a Shadow waiting for them in the closet. Jonas left the room to go in the backyard when he heard Jennie scream his name. A Shadow chased Jennie out of the house but then got killed.

After the team was shaken up from the Shadow, they decided to spend the day [[At the Beach]] to have fun and spend some time together. Jonas and Daniel talked things out and Daniel decided that Jonas was right; that finding Bree's mom was what's best for Gina. Jonas and Jennie [[Tangled Web|get to work]] and figure out that the closest route to the Hymn of One is Sarah's [[Free Love|connection]] to the Lullaby Project. However, Sarah [[Spanish Princess|reveals]] that she has slept with Carl, and he soon [[Mexican Mating Machine|shows up]] and the two [[Hostage Crisis|begin dating]]. Jonas and the others become wary of the couple, but [[Stock Options|accept]] his help in finding Bree's mom.

Bree's mom is finally [[Bree's Mom|located]] exiting a meeting with the Verdus Board of directors. However, the encounter ends badly, with Gina getting captured. However, She is [[Girl, Returned|returned]] hours later, with a disk containing [[Recovered Memory|footage]] of her and Bree as young children. After Gina [[The Devil Speaks|meets with Elizabeth]] and is mugged, TAAG [[A Stranger Calls|finds a message]] from Elizabeth in the house, [[Varsity Blues|asking to set up]] another meeting. Nervous, Daniel and Jonas decide to [[Hook Up At the Park|tag along]] for safety reasons, but Daniel becomes enraged and confronts Elizabeth. In turn, Elizabeth provides evidence implicating [[Lord Carruthers]] as the one responsible for Bree's death.

[[Image:KMLGCrossover-JonasSteve.JPG|thumb|right|Jonas and Steve hit it off.]]
TAAG [[Cruisin' With The Ladies|goes to]] [[Catalina Island]] to find a store called [[Alcombe Antiques]], where Bree's Elder had purchased a [[Mary Annette|puppet]] as for Bree prior to the Ceremony. At the location, they [[Shop of Horrors!!!|find]] a coat of arms, and are [[Called To Arms|informed]] of its connection to a Hymn of One member in London with a fascination with puppets. TAAG [[Mmm Beer!|celebrates]] (and Daniel [[Beach Party|gets drunk]]), and Jonas [[Escape to London|goes to London]] himself without the consensus of the group.

Upon arriving, he meets [[Steve]], a [[LA To LDN|member of]] the [[K-Team|London-based group that is also fighting the Order]]. [[Lauren]] and [[Lee]], two of Steve's friends, decide to [[Raise The Roof|throw Jonas a welcoming party]]. Their roommate, [[Charlie]] rejects the idea, but they go through with it anyway, and the night is, for the most part, a success. However, Jonas gets drunk and Charlie uses him to get back at Steve for not talking with her about their "relationship".

Jonas and Steve attempt to track down [[Lord Carruthers]], the man they believe is Bree's Elder. However, they are [[Hunting The Elder|thrown out of]] the building where he works, and are ignored when they attempt to coerce information out of [[Rupert Van Helden]] (author of [[Finding the One]] who is [[Mrs Van Helden?|engaged]] to [[Julia|one of Steve's friends]]). After they leave, they are victim to a drive by shooting where neither of them are hurt, but they believe Rupert has put a hit out on them.

However, the hit was actually the work of an Elder named [[Michelle Clore]], who [[Outta Here|put out a hit on TAAG]], and promised that whomever murdered them on camera would ascend to the status of Elder in the Order. However, her message was in Turkish, so it took a while to [[What Is She Saying?|make sense of what she was saying]]. Alarmed by the video, Jonas heads back the airport to fly back to Los Angeles, Steve tagging along until he boards. However, the driver is actually an assassin, who is unable to kill Jonas after Steve kills him in self-defense. Scared, Jonas asks Steve to come back to America with him, which Steve accepts.

===On the Offensive===
Steve and Jonas fly into a Mexican Airport in order to try to hide from the Order. Steve's [[Crazy Border Crossing!!|reception]] is much less warm than Jonas's was, as he is accused by Daniel of being a mole as soon as he arrives. The argument is cut short when an assassin arrives and begins shooting at the group, wounding Steve. TAAG flee, but call 911 and go back for Steve. While [[Hot Tacos|waiting for him]] to get discharged from the hospital, they encounter the Assassin again, and send Taylor his license plate number so she can find out more about him.

However, they are [[Computer Penetration|contacted]] [[Project Orwell|through Daniel's laptop]] by [[Edward Salinas]], a candidate for U.S. Congress, who is seeking ascension in the Order. Instead of running, TAAG decide to [[Politics Gone Wild!|infiltrate]] (with the help of [[Nikki Bower]]), a fundrasier, where they try and fail to stop him. Daniel [[Alone in the Woods|becomes enraged]] and blames Steve for the messup, the argument eventually turning into a choice for Jonas: Daniel or Steve. Reluctantly, Jonas chooses Daniel and Steve is left on the side of the road, angry and hurt.

In his [[We Will Fight|next video]], Jonas reiterates that he felt bad about the situation with Steve, but cites the danger they've been in since he entered the picture. He says that they are tired of running, and are going to take a proactive role in taking down Salinas. After [[Corn Nuts|joining up]] with Sarah, TAAG [[Casting Couch|decides]] that Jennie would be the best candidate to infiltrate the Salinas Campaign. However, Jonas becomes extremely anxious, and decides to [[Sneak Attack!|pose]] as Jennie's undercover persona's boyfriend, Bill, and pulls her from Elizabeth Avery's car after she lures her inside. Elizabeth reveals that Emma is in danger of dying, but is cut off by Jonas's actions.

In the [[Backseat Shocker|next video]], it is revealed that Jonas and Jennie had gone back to the van to hear what Elizabeth had to say. Elizabeth is upset that Jonas injured her hand when he tore Jennie from the car. She informs them that Emma has been targeted for the ceremony, but is allegedly unaware of her whereabouts. Desperate, Jonas asks Emma to contact them in the video, and she [[Booby Trap?|sends him]] a package that leads TAAG to her location. While [[Stiff|en route]], Jonas discovers that Elizabeth had broken into their hotel room and found Emma's location on his laptop. Upon arriving at the bunker, they discover Elizabeth dead and Emma missing, as well as notes on a white board in Emma's handwriting with information on the Resistance. Jonas, refusing to believe that the Order had captured Emma, attempts to contact her again via the video.

Emma, who had [[Girl Grown Up|managed to escape]], saw Jonas's video and [[Operation Emma|met him]] at the location he had requested. They were almost caught by the [[Bree's Watcher|Watcher]] that was tracking her, but make it safely back to the rented house. Emma insists that the experiences she had while she was away matured her, and tried to prove it by [[Doing It Myself|volunteering]] to save Carl, who had been [[Tick Tick Boom|captured]] by Salinas. Jonas is dead set against it at first, but reluctantly allows her to go on the condition that he'd go in if she were gone longer than five minutes.

==The Truth About His Family==
[[Image:Siblings1.jpg|thumb||right|175px|Jonas's new sister.]]
Jonas so far has five family members who have been in the series.
*His [[Remember Them?|parents]] were in a [[On The Road Again|movement against the Order]]. They have [[Eternal Freaks|no memory]] of the time before their disappearance and are now members of the [[Hymn Of One]].
*His [[Alex|Aunt Alex]] was found to be [[Alex Is...|part of the Order]], though she later [[Proceed with Caution|realigned her loyalties]] and [[Mission Possible|helped fight the order.]]
*Jonas also has a cousin, [[Toby]], whose alignment has not been confirmed.
*Jonas has an adopted sister, [[Emma]], who is trait positive.

==Notes==
*Many have also speculated that Jonas is gay. This arose both from his friendship with Daniel, and his lack of interest in Bree. Although, in "[[Uncle Dan]]," Jonas is apparently interested in a girl named [[Carla]] who comes on to him very strongly. This is evidenced by his giddy reaction to the camera after she gives him a little kiss. He also [[Uncle Dan (D-Bone Remix)|rejects the advances]] of another man at the party, [[Damien]]. After getting Bree back, he and Bree were [[Relationships#Bree and Jonas|getting very close]]. It was confirmed that Bree lost her virginity to Jonas.
*On YouTube and Revver, Jonas uses the name jonastko. The name is a reference to Jonas's boxing hobby. The letters T.K.O. are used in boxing as an abbreviation for "Technical Knock-Out."
*According to the video [[On The Road Again]], Jonas's last name could very well begin with a "W," due to the fact that his father used his initials to write, ''The Order in the Modern Empire''. As a result, Jonas was the first character in the series whose last name is at least partially known.
*During the time he worked for the show, writer [[Glenn Rubenstein]] based a lot of Jonas's personality off of his own. [http://lg15today.blogspot.com/2007/10/wild-wednesday-continues-with-glennfm.html]

==Fan Activity==
Fans remained largely suspicious of Jonas's motives in offering such generous support to Bree and Daniel. Fans noted that Jonas initially only extended support to Bree, rather than to both Bree and Daniel. Moreover, because he simultaneously became a member and posted his first video and showed interest in Bree when she was on the run from [[the Order]], fans were suspicious that he may be connected with the Order. He is indeed connected to the Order through his family, which is divided into supporters and detractors of the Order. How much Jonas actually knows about the Order and its counter movements is unknown, but it seems to be very little.

Since the inclusion of Jonas as a regular, his popularity has slowly grown. In May 2007 a fan club was started in his honor. It is called the [[Jonas Fan Club | Secret Society of Jonas Fans]] because of the indication that Jonas is shy around accolades. Its members are required to type "Shhhh!!!" in their comments when in the IC section.

==Etymology of ''Jonas''==
There are two possible derivations of the name Jonas:
*Jonas is the Latin derivation of the Greek form (Ionas) of the Hebrew name Jonah (dove). It is widely presumed that Jonas's name is a reference to the [[Bible|Biblical]] Jonah, who was swallowed by a fish, because this would tie in to the story of his lost parents. For further discussion, also see the LGPedia article, [[Water theme]]. Jonas is most widely used as a male name in German and Scandinavian cultures.
*Alternatively, Jonas is the Lithuanian variant of the English name ''John''. John is derived from the Hebrew Johanas, which means "God is great," and which is the name of Biblical characters John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John the Evangelist.
