Tracy gets to the appointed locker at Union Station and finds some new ID for her inside. She takes a breath, probably already having misgivings about the setup, but those increase a hundredfold when Micah reveals himself to her and tells her he's Rebel. She takes him aside, and after he goes on that he thought they could help people together, she confesses her real play here. He's obviously disappointed, not understanding how she could do that to anyone, but tells her he was prepared for her to be followed, and uses his phone to send a fake warning about an emergency gas leak, which gets announced over the station's PA system. The two of them then disappear through a door that looks like it leads down a long corridor, which should give Micah plenty of time to tell his aunt how amazingly disappointed he is in her.
The rain has stopped, which is too bad for Angela, because there's nothing to block three agents catching a clear view of her face as they approach her on the sidewalk. She does a one-eighty but sees three more coming from the other direction, so she ducks into the commercial building right next to her, ignoring the doorman's attempts to get her attention. I'm sure that's not the first time she's failed to pay the help any mind. The agents quickly pursue her, but she manages to get in the elevator, shooting eye rays of death at them even as they draw their guns. The elevator doors close right before they reach her, but some commandos join the agents and get to work on the elevator's control panel. I'm not sure what Angela's plan is here -- you'd think she might anticipate what's coming and hop out -- but she could just be hoping to buy as much time as possible. However, the commandos get the elevator moving back down, and when Angela realizes it, her face gives in to resignation and genuine fear. However, just as the elevator is about to get to the lobby, she hears a thud on top of the car...
...and when the doors open, Angela has her arms around Peter. YES! That ruled, because I didn't expect him to show up and help her, much less this close to the end of the episode. The agents cock their guns, but Peter just curls his lip sardonically and flies his mother straight up through the door in top of the car. The camera moves to show an awesome shot of them heading up into the sky before we head into the last commercial break.
As they pedeconference, Tracy excitedly compliments Micah on being so prepared, even speculating that he must have been a Boy Scout, but Micah snits that Boy Scouts are also trustworthy, which is something she obviously knows nothing about.
