That's the most logical way to connect it - they need to find out where Bree is being held, they know where Lucy lives 'cause Daniel already broke into her flat, and they're reasonably angry to break certain moral rules.
Soo...they go to Lucy, beat her up, ask her where the ceremony is, and the story can move on.
It may sound violent, but this is not a game, you know...
In case it was just not descriptive enough for you (I tend to write shorthand when I have the things clear in my mind), let me try again:
Daniel after Torture 1, 2 and 3
Daniel starts posting videos from back at home, telling us how he's happy it all worked out, how they're all save now, and talks about how he mysteriously got back into college.
Jonas after Torture
A week after the current video, after all of Daniel's videos, Jonas posts a video, looking very worn out and telling Daniel he's got to talk to him and is already on his way.
Jonas and Daniel
After another two days, Daniel posts saying that Jonas told him that the Order didn't tell him (Jonas) that Bree was fine, but rather that they'd vanish her if Jonas and Daniel wouldn't stay out of it.
After some arguing, Daniel realized what had happened to him, but he still can't believe how he could've been so stupid after all that happened to them (cue desperate, worried look). The video ends with Jonas entering saying he's got an idea.
Beating Lucy up
Next video, Daniel posts; we see: Daniel on the edge of a motel bed, talking. Jonas, sitting next to/behind him, massaging his right hand. He's got red on him. In the background, the door of the room's bathroom is open, and we halfly see a blonde woman, facing the other way, tied to chair, in it. The way she holds her head indicates she isn't fine.
Daniel tells us they drove to Lucy's apartment, dragged her out, and after "Jonas made her talk", she told them where the ceremony was being held. They still haven't decided what to do with her now, but Jonas thinks that now that she's talkative, she might as well shed some light onto the Order, OpAphid, and everything.
The Ceremony/Rescuing Bree
We see people having a ceremony in the woods, similar to the earlier ceremony vid; we then hear Daniel scream "Bree!" in voiceover, and see barely recognizable, slow motion footage of Daniel and Jonas rescuing Bree (similar to The Unthinkable Happened). The end of the video shows nothing but the cameraman's feet running in the woods, and concerned yells of "Faster! Faster!! Oh shit...".
I'm fine
...is a video by Bree back at the motel, telling us she's fine, she just needed a few days to calm down. She thanks Jonas and Daniel for their help, admits once more that she owes them a lot, but says P.Monkey claims to have come up with the plan, D&J just executed it...poorly. In the end, she mentions how Lucy has told the boys some interesting things, before they called Tachyon to get rid of her.
And thus, the next story arc starts.
Better?
