Angela and Claire apparently avoided getting mugged on the way to the Capitol Building, and once inside (I'm sure it's real easy to walk in and see a Senator in his private office without appointment, by the way) Claire asks Angela if she thinks it's possible Bennet evaded capture, and Angela replies no. "That was his plan all along." Oh, God, I hate to get bogged down yet again, but what are you even talking about? The plan he came up with in the ten seconds between seeing the fake construction site and you waking up from your nap qualifies as one he had "all along"? Anyway, Claire can't believe her dad's gotten in hot water again, but Angela snaps that he's doing it for her, and then hurls an anvil straight at my head with far more strength than I would have expected from a woman in her sixties as she adds, "You have no idea the lengths a parent will go to ensure the safety of their child." Angela, your disastrous grammar in that sentence is the clearest indication yet that you either need a long vacation or an early retirement. Anyway, after marching through half the building, Angela announces that she's not going in to see Nathan, because when you have a dream that your son, whom you just said you'd move heaven and earth to protect, is in trouble, the natural reaction is to turn around right in front of his door and go find MATT PARKMAN. I mean, she justifies it by saying she dreamt Matt would save Nathan's life (which she interpreted wrongly, obviously, because I can't believe she would call what happens at the end of the episode "saving Nathan's life," even just in a manner of speaking), and while she can't change what she dreamt (false, from what we've seen; she's had plenty of dreams that didn't come true) she can help "push its outcome" (and I don't even know what she's talking about at this point). The whole thing's preposterous, from soup to nuts, but the point is that Angela leaves, and Claire heads in...
