At FBI-DC, Walker continues micromanaging Sean's remote search for the fugitives. When she steps away at 11:19:02, his desk phone rings. It's his wife, Christina, calling from the Airphone in the seatback in front of her. "The pilot says we're in a holding pattern, but we just keep circling and circling," Christina says. Isn't that what a holding pattern is? Sean tells her to relax, and Christina says she heard something about a near miss and the air traffic control system. And since she heard it from the woman in the seat next to her, it must be true. Don't ask me how the woman in the seat next to her heard about it. Sean confirms it, sort of. "The FAA has grounded some planes, but it's only a precaution," he downplays. "It's an isolated incident. You're gonna be fine." That seems to calm Christina's nerves, and she promises to call him as soon as she lands. After they hang up, that Erica chick from earlier comes over to inject herself into the situation, having heard from Janis that Sean's wife is still airborne. And Sean is predictably rude about it. "Her flight is number eighteen in the queue so it'll be another two hours at least until hers gets clearance," he snaps, like it's her fault. Instead of backing off like any normal person with a sense of self-preservation, she offers to help. "There's nothing anybody can do, that's the problem," he bitches. Well, there are worse things than dying in a fiery plane crash. Probably, one of them is being married to Sean.
