He has found DP and he is not happy. He loves both DP and CP and he decides to rescue CP. DP cannot come with him. Only one can go home. DP has a wonderful life and he would rather CP be rescued and go back up there. Jack asks how he can go back when Hope is gone (LOL). Clever. Toilet Paper Roll Angel has a friend in high places!

Jack is sad because the Loser will eat the alivened part of CP, put bits on himself that he likes, and eat the rest. I wonder if the Loser was like those light beings with an attritude like Envy or Hate or Pride. Jack is heartbroken. He did not want this to happen because he thought he would take CP home for Holly and DP for himself. He sees what a good friend CP is. Last night’s salt water was tears, not the sea.

Jack can only bring back one toy. CP loves Jack so much in spite of the abuse the boy gave him. He’s willing to replace DP in the Land of the Lost. The problem is this: CP is not lost and he is not mislaid. He must go to the Waste of the Unlamented. He’s broken so many laws that nobody can help him. He’ll eventually be eaten by the Loser. Because DP and CP are twins (DOPPLEGANGERS), they know each other’s thoughts.

Ch. 51 Jack remembers CP. He’s surprised that CP is not there. He never heard a splash behind him. He looks toward the horizon and Hope is a speck, still carrying the tapestry. He realizes that CP never got off because he’s not allowed on the island. He’s never been deeply loved. He told fibs to Jack so that Jack would not feel guilty. He kept his distance at times so the Jack wouldn’t care about him. Why?

Because Jack lost him so many times, the island was already familiar to DP when he arrived. When he arrived for good, he already had friends. The Loser cannot touch foot on this island because the things here are immortal. Jack is confused because CP said that DP can go home with him. Jack can take DP back tonight because it’s the night of miracles (Christmas Eve).

The angel explains what happened and where to find that only part of him that remains up there. Because Jack’s mother loved him so much, the alivened part of the angel went straight to the Island of the Beloved to live forever as a fully fledge thing. The DP explains how there’s not much left of him after the lorry ran over him. Grandpa saw him burst. Jack’s love him so much that DP’s alivened part is immortal.

They run to each other and hug. The other toys cheer at the happy reunion.
Jack tells DP the story of what he did after he lost him. DP says he already knows but how? They walk to DP’s beach house. His roommate is the toilet paper roll angel. This is the Island of the Beloved. It’s the best place in the Land of the Lost.

Ch. 51 They arrive many hours later. Hope calls Jack to wake him up and tells him it’s time to jump. She will get as low as she can. The light is blinding as Happiness and he is finally warm and dry. Jack calls to CP who tells him to go first. He drops into the ocean, only knee-deep. The sky has the most finding holes he has ever seen. Running toward him is DP. At last!

Jack peeks over the tapestry and he sees the ocean. Snow is falling. They are going to the Island of the Beloved. This is why others are not aware of them. Jack thanks CP for his help. Jack falls asleep.

Ch. 49 Jack and CP snuggle up together inside the tapestry. They talk about how scared they were. They thank Hope for helping them. They ask Hope how she was lost. Her owner was wrongly imprisoned for standing up to a power-hungry leader like Power. Judge ruled against her and she is in a crowded cell with ten others. Her sentence is twenty years. She has lost Hope.
