In the infirmary, Sara cleans the bandage on Michael’s left foot. He is still healing from the first time Abruzzi tried to elicit Fibonacci’s whereabouts from Michael. When Sara again tries to ask exactly how Michael lost his toes, Michael changes the subject. He asks about the flowers sitting on her desk. Sara explains that they are from her father; today is her birthday. Michael wishes her a happy birthday, but this is clearly a touchy subject. “It's just in those twenty-nine birthdays, my dad's actually seen me on exactly six of them. So I get flowers instead. Flowers that end up dead and in the trash a week later.”
Gus points to a pile of lumber and barks to his men to take it into the guards’ room. C-Note insists on doing it and eagerly brings the wood inside. He closes the guards’ room door behind him, props the lumber against a wall and begins to investigate the room in search of the source of the cement fragments he’s found. After checking the walls and sink area, he hears an odd squeak from the floor. C-Note pulls up the carpet to see the wooden plaque. He lifts the plaque and looks inside. C-Note smiles.
LJ sits alone outside the secluded cabin. Nick walks outside and sits next to him. Nick tries to connect with LJ, confiding that when he was LJ’s age, his dad was also in prison for something he didn’t do. In the end, Nick’s father was exonerated, but it was a long battle in which they lost almost everything. But that’s why Nick knows that they have to keep fighting to save Lincoln’s life; they can’t give up. Nick assures LJ, “We’re gonna beat this thing, okay?”
There’s a knock on the door of Kellerman and Hale’s hotel room. At the door is a middle-aged man in an ill-fitting suit. His tie is askew and he appears a bit winded as he lumbers into the room. Kellerman asks the man’s name, the man only replies, “Quinn.” Quinn tells them that he’s only there to make sure things are under control as they get closer to “the big event.” Kellerman tells him that he was unaware that things were out of control, but Quinn calls his bluff. Quinn knows Kellerman and Hale have lied to the Vice President; Veronica, Nick and LJ are all very much alive. Kellerman walks towards Quinn, raising a finger but Quinn simply grabs Kellerman’s finger, snapping it in two places. Hale jumps up, but Kellerman calls him off. Quinn stands up with an authority that silences Hale. “You and your friend are off the job until further notice. That doesn’t come from me, that doesn’t come from the White House, it comes from the Company, understand?” He calmly advises Kellerman on how to treat his broken finger and walks out.
Veronica sits behind her laptop, studying a large and detailed spreadsheet. Nick sees that the spreadsheet is Ecofield’s SEC fillings. They begin looking over the figures and see that almost a half a billion dollars was funneled into Ecofield via federal grants for alternative fuel research. But Veronica notes that they never made a profit, nor did they make any fuel cells, patents or findings. Nick realizes that EcoField was just a shell company. Veronica turns from her computer. “Question is, for what?”
