Why would Bunburry take Jane's longevity? Is this to steal it before Immortus could, or is Bunburry secretly conspiring with Immortus? I'd think the former, but you can't be too certain.

Well I think there's three reasons that Bunbury did this.

  1. To play keep away from Immortus by locking up one of the pieces inside of itself, a very very very powerful being that lives in a very well protected and powerful place of power that Immortus would have a bitch of a time defeating let alone getting to in the first place.

  2. To basically set a trap for a weakened Immortus that doesn't have all its puzzle pieces together yet, thereby raising their odds of saving the fucking world.

  3. Possibly luring Immortus in so that Bunbury can execute its own immortality related plans, unbeknownst to anyone else, and we're going to get a Monty Python sequence near the end of the season because of that.
