So of course Nathan's been on the phone with Angela, and he asks for her support when Peter inevitably comes to her, but she tells him to stuff it, saying he pushed her aside in putting together this crusade, and now, basically, he's reaping what he sowed. She looks at a picture of Danko as she tells him to handle the situation himself, and hangs up. Nathan looks bummed, but then an assistant enters and says "they're" ready for him...
...and then he's entering the back of a darkened armored truck, in which there's a seated hooded prisoner. Nathan has the lights turned on and removes the mask to reveal Tracy. She's panicked, and asks him to let her go, but he tells her that "these powers" lead to chaos and disaster. This from the man who wanted to give them to more people than own an iPhone. She scores points by speculating that that's what he tells himself so he can sleep at night, but this is really all about him and his ambition. "It's all you are, Nathan. It's all you ever were." He gets up to go, but she yells that he's one of "us," and I should mention they made a point of quickly showing us that this conversation is being recorded on a security camera, so I'm thinking that's another piece that will help Danko put together the Nathan puzzle. Tracy keeps yelling until they stick a drug shunt in her nose, and Nathan marches resolutely away. It's not perfect, but I have to tell you, it's refreshing when this show actually tells a story. See you next time.
