As Claire (Lily Rabe) follows up on the lead of the photograph, she calls Jessup (Derek Webster) to ask him to hold off putting it out in public and tells him to meet her at the hospital. Henry (Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) tells her about his new friend and when she asks about him, she's interrupted by the doorbell, of course that was Drill ensuring he doesn't tell her anything. But really couldn't the doorbell wait, it's not like anyone who's there will go away if it's someone she knows, or will be doing more than cold calling! At the hospital as he asks Harper (Abby Ryder Fortson) questions about the photo and if that's Drill, her father, Harrison Weil (Jamison Jones) tells her to answer the questions, but she says she can't otherwise her mother won't get well, it's a game and she has to play and win. She asks Harper if Drill stops her from answering Maria (Catalina Denis) and she says it might be okay but then doesn't tell her anything. Maria sees the photo and tells Claire the man was her patient and ran away.
Obviously they don't know his name but he had tattoos and spoke Arabic (hey look Arabic speaking aliens!! ha and I mean aliens as in little grey men!) As Claire watches the surveillance footage with Jessup, Sean (Milo Ventimiglia) strikes down a guard. She pauses it and zooms in, he asks her who he is cos she's keeping something from him and she replies it's her husband. They only found his plane and no body, but the man here wasn't behaving like Sean cos he doesn't speak Arabic or have tattoos. She gives Maria her card and tells her to call only her if he turns up. Now wait a sec, we see Sean had an appointment with her which he cancels, but he couldn't have been the one with the appointment. He just said that to ensure she wouldn't be at home, cos I was thinking (for a change) if she had an appointment with him she'd have told him and secondly she wouldn't have had an appointment cos he was meant to have remained in hospital, not run away.
En route to the hospital, Wes (Barry Sloane) stopped Claire in her car and she told about the sketch and the man being Sean. He doesn't think it's a good idea to talk in public as Lena (Kristin Connolly) just told him the whole of the neighbourhood probably knows about his indiscretion and affair with her. He also says he had a second chance with Lena and Claire says she hasn't been given a second chance.
Sean heads to Maria's house where he finds a gun and showers before passing out in the shower! Right any ol' excuse to go shirtless and nakked! ha.
Seems he was in there quite a while without getting wrinkly skin! He comes out and then draws on the floor, another symbol. Thought that symbol looked a little like the swing where Minx (Kylie Rogers) headed after leaving home, saying she doesn't want to be there anymore cos she doesn't like her parents arguing and the way they look at each other. Of course she was getting up to her own tricks according to Drill, as she tells her friend about a new game she can play and then she'll show her some magic, that's their secret though. Why are children so mesmerized by talking figures and lights, just a general comment, since Minx had lights everywhere in her room and she's had them since she was little, as we see in flashbacks later on. Guess that's one of Drill's attractions with the lights, as well as only being able to communicate with the use of electricity.
Wes's home is investigated by the FBI since secret files were downloaded and he said it wasn't him. Lena argues with him some more thinking she's been spying on him, but she's still more concerned about his affair. Which he doesn't seem to be quite over with, no matter what he said about his second chance. Especially when she tells him he doesn't know what he's talking about and they were much more than that. Looks like she heard that. Wes has put a tail on Claire and follows her to Maria's house where she almost runs into Sean, he makes a run for it through the window and she chases him, leaving his bag behind. Of course she must've been some kind of fast runner cos getting a headstart on her, he didn't get very far, or was that his intention. Cos after losing her, he shows himself and then vanishes. She tells Wes she didn't get to see who he was, but she did really and wouldn't tell him.
Henry watches TV in the night and Grammy (Dee Wallace) tells him she heard someone talking in the room, which he says was the TV, of course he can hear now, but he's hiding that. That's just another 'reward' Dill's given to him, like teasing Harper about giving her mother back if she listens to him and does what he wants, winning the game. Satellite footage showed some form of anomaly from where Sean's plane went missing and Wes tells Frommer (David Andrews) he turned off his transponder which cant be done on an F-22. Minx has plans which show the same symbol Sean drew on the floor and he gets into Maria's car with the gun.
There is something about this show which had more of the supernatural element than anything alien or otherwise cos of the flickering lights, something associated with spirits, rather than anything out of this worldly. There wasn't much revealed in this episode and no reasons as to why Claire and Wes had their affair to begin with, it doesn't look like there was anything wrong in their personal lives at home, but seemed like a plot device the writers used to plod along, ensuring Minx was told by Drill of this and that made her an easy target to manipulate, as she'd want someone to talk to. Just like Sean appearing before Claire was just to prove she wasn't imagining things and that really was him, otherwise as I said if he's got amnesia and he's running away why stop and reveal himself, cos there'd be no point in running.
Then there was Wes and Claire, two people who had the oft mentioned and repeated affair, yet she finds it comfortable to lie to him about who she saw and Lena thinks he's still lying to her. Then if the adults lying wasn't bad enough, we see their children do it too. Henry keeps the fact he can hear from her and Minx just seems to do whatever she wants whether there are consequences or not, like being able to leave the house at night without anyone knowing. It's easy for Drill to make them promise not to tell about him or what his game is, cos their parents keep secrets too. Suppose the only interesting aspect was why Sean would take Maria hostage. Though the fact he had a storage unit with various clippings and other stuff shows he's been trying to figure out this puzzle for along time.
