Sean (Milo Ventimiglia) is questioned by Wes (Barry Sloane) who says the wrong questions are being asked so he takes over the interrogation himself. Asking what happened to him, as he says he recalls flying and then ending up with a huge piece of rock in his back. He knew he had to survive by taking it out, which may explain why he gets those tats on him and how all of them end in disaster. But by far the best lines he's had in the entire 5 eps so far.
Sean: Look at me, I have nothing, no memories. No past. Barely a present and the future. The mere mention of a future scares the hell out of me. My shadow knows more than I do."
Which is true, as Claire (Lily Rabe) tells Henry (Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) he can't be home soon cos he needs to be helped by the experts first. How Drill brought him home like he said he would. Jessup (Derek Webster) drops by for her files and says that she can see Sean cos she's got connections in the DOD.
She asks Wes if she can and meets his assistant, which was some foreshadowing here. He listens in to their conversation and leaves when he thinks it's getting personal, as she reminds him of how they met and her father set it up by crashing the car in a ditch. Sean returned home from training and he asked him to dinner. She hated him at first but then had feelings for him. As he says he "swept you off your feet." Also a reference to him being a superhero here, which he may yet turn out to be. He shows her the tats and how he went to every place, Seville had a train crash, Bordeaux had a flood each was accompanied by some sort of catastrophe and energy was involved. But he doesn't know the significance of As33.
Funny she doesn't tell him how they were together and no she wouldn't, but she just says they were married, which doesn't say much cos you can be married to someone and not love them. But the reason for the affair with Wes isn't revealed to us either. I mean if you were married to someone like Sean why would you even contemplate an affair!
Claire thinks tat's to do with arsenic and if that's added to nuclear energy it'll cause the mother of all explosions. Wes thinks his polygraph is a result of his subconscious and the waves resemble the rock structure in Mali. Of course what they didn't get is that this too was another diversion just like in the previous ep with Henry and the nuclear plant. He also thinks it's to do with volcanoes since the energy is under it and he hears Callie (Alison Araya) talking about it outside to her son. Obviously she's Ethan's (Terrell Ransom Jr) mother, as Claire finds As33 is the baseball team. She speaks with Ethan who tells her about the volcano not having enough power so his mother told him to get another battery. Drill told him to build it. Claire realizes too late that Wes was sent there to be taken care of.
But Lena (Kristen Connolloy) hasn't heard from him. It's silly, one minute he wants her to go to her mother's, but she wants to stay and next minute she's taking Minx (Kylie Rogers) to the party and loses her for a bit. Obviously she's still being use by Drill who tells her if she helps then her parents will get back together. Which they kind of do for a bit and Lena leaves a message on his voicemail. In Mali he orders the rock to be raised as it emits a blue light around them.
Jessup is still following Claire and Frommer (David Andrews) tells him it's not what he can see that frightens him, but what he can't. "...the unknown, that's what this is about." As they think the nuclear blast was contained so it can be used in some form of deadly chemical weapon.
Previous ep had some X-Files incidental themes music going on in the background, when Henry was on his way to the nuclear plant.
This just keeps going round and round really, not much happened this episode aside from the meeting between Sean and Claire. Wes seems eager to jump in and raise the rock when he doesn't really know anything about it or the harm it can do, especially since he also heard Sean's recollection of it, which wasn't much..
