Tuesday Night, Very Late Lorna and Alex reconnect after her shift on comms ends. They apologise to each other and discuss powers a little bit. Then Lorna falls asleep so Alex carries her to bed. Yes, another cute log. We’re sorry. We try to poke them to make them more interesting but the cute is too strong.
In an effort to not keep secrets, Doug tells Angie about the training. She... doens't freak half as much as he thought, and has a little secret of her own. God, this log wasn't supposed to go this way at ALL.
After speaking with MacInnis, Nathan immediately heads down to talk to Pete about what the ORB (Old Rat Bastard) had to say. The two of them come to the conclusion that yes, they're going to do something about it. And no, it probably isn't going to be pretty.
On their way out of the airport upon returning from Hawaii, Alex and Scott run into some unexpected trouble. Alex finds out instinct can be a good thing, and Scott... where did Scott go, anyway?
Nathan then goes to talk to Paige. He's a little sharp, she's a little unimpressed, he's a little cranky. But she's just as eager as Sam is to be in on the mission.
In the wake of this IM conversation and talking to Pete, Nate makes good the plan and goes to speak to Madelyn. It turns out Agent Bartlet isn't so buried after all, and there are personal issues with this sort of situation.
Alison & Haroun, Tuesday night. Thanks to the romantically inclined Lorna making certain to kill their comms' alerts as they leave, they get to enjoy a night out on the town without any idea of what's going on at the mansion.
Late Sunday evening, as Alison comes back to the mansion, Sam appoints himself to make sure she's eating and sleeping. Since she's pretty much done neither in the past week, he sits her down and makes her a sandwich before walking her up to her room and making sure she tries to get some sleep. In the course of events, Alison has a completely unconscious effect on Sam's libido.
