It doesn't take effect immediately, however, so for the time being, Heidi's still in the chair. Linderman leaves, and she wheels into Nathan's study and starts haranguing him for even associating with that bearded gangster. Nathan just tells her that Linderman's his biggest contributor and if he wins this election, it'll be solely because of Linderman. Heidi tells him that this isn't true, that he'll win because of himself and nothing else, and she reminds him to remember who he is. "I know exactly who I am!" snaps Nathan. "I am a man who's being asked to make a hard choice for the greater good." Not sure you being president is for the greater good, Nathan. I'm fairly certain Gee Dub thought the same thing and look how HE turned out. Heidi continues trying to convince Nathan not to deal with Linderman, but Nathan's too distracted by her suddenly tapping right foot to listen to her. At first, she doesn't notice it, but when Nathan points it out, Heidi realizes that something strange is going on with her limbs. First one foot, then the other, starts moving. Nathan stands up and takes her hands. He helps his wife to her feet and they both start crying. "It's a miracle," says Nathan. But then he gets this look on his face like, "If by 'miracle' you mean, 'that Linderman is one crafty bastard'."
Elsewhere in New York, the Triumphant Trio of Peter, Claire, and Ted is making their way to a car rental office so that they can drive RadioacTed to the safety of Nebraska. Claire quips that after they save the world, she's going to go on patrol and dodge bullets for a living. Heh. She'd make a great cop, actually. "Stop or I'll shoot!" "BAM!" "Dude. What'd I SAY about the stopping? I believe you dropped this bullet. YOU DROPPED IT IN MY SOLAR PLEXUS. Now drop your weapon and put your hands behind your back, meat!" Hee. She jokes that she could go freelance and just pull people out of burning buildings. "You're not gonna catch me wearing a cape," says Peter, joining in on the fun. "Zipping around with my underwear outside my pants." Hee. Also? Milo Ventimiglia just said "underwear." I might have to go lie down.
