At the sheriff's station, Ethan is in his office defusing the bomb. Once he does, he pulls the file on Franklin Dobbs.

She says that she's just there to help and will do anything to help her brother David... even work with Ethan. Ethan asks her for access to the surveillance system so he can see what Franklin has been up to.

Theresa walks Ben to school and says that she just wants to spend time with him. She asks if he misses Seattle, and Ben says that he doesn't think about it and they're not supposed to think about the past.

Outside, Harold runs off down the street but Ethan easily tackles him, and then tells the pedestrians that Harold tripped and fell.

At the station, Harold insists that he doesn't know about the bomb in Ethan's truck. Ethan figures that there are other bombs that they plan to use on the fence, and Harold asks him if he wants to escape as well.

Kate invites her to walk with her, and they confirm that Ethan told them both the same story. She believes that the authorities have a way of brainwashing people. A week after she arrived, she found a line that worked and called Adam, and he said that she was entering a government experiment and would be severely tested by another agent.
