In the airport, Daphne is looking at files of Matt and Hiro. She shakes her head and starts to throw them in the trash, but behind her, "Linderman" tells her that would be a mistake, and wonders if they're not paying her enough. She says it's not that, but that Hiro was a good guy, and the fact that they turned him into a murderer is making her feel like she's in over her head, and she can't do it anymore. Linderman, in his typically elliptical way, implies that there would be unpleasant consequences were she to leave, and Daphne winces at the thought of whatever it is they have over her. He suggests that they put this "lapse of judgment" behind them, and if Maury and Linderman hadn't been ElderHeroes together I'd wonder how the hell Maury had him so down pat. Daphne looks balefully at Linderman for a moment, but picks the file back up, and then Linderman points out that Matt has come into view. (I'd love to have heard Matt's conversation with airline officials about the turtle. "He's my totem! You can't charge me for an extra seat!" When Daphne looks back, Linderman is gone, and she gives an "it figures" move that kind of amuses me. She walks by the camera, which lets her go in favor of revealing that Maury has been there the whole time. Well, duh. Meanwhile, Matt is talking to the turtle, who's probably wishing he could move a lot faster, about how he has to find Daphne and blah, so it's nice of her to appear at the bottom of the escalator and cut off the babbling. He happily greets her by name, which confuses her, although possibly not as much as the presence of the turtle. She looks like she's going to ask Linderman for a raise soon, but for the moment suggests she and Matt go somewhere and talk.
