Meanwhile, in a nightmare sequence across town, Nathan's still glowering out at the ruins of New York. Someone says his name, and he looks over and thinks he sees a burned Peter lying on the ground. The figure gets up and, as it turns out, it's actually Nathan himself, only he's horribly scarred and disfigured. Nathan moves as if to run away, but ScaryNathan cuts him off. They square off for a fight. Back in his fake cell, Matt sees a crying baby on the ground. Instead of thinking that it's awfully odd for a baby to just appear out of thin air, Matt calls to someone to get the baby out of there. Then his ex-wife is suddenly there, holding the baby, and Matt's all, "Honey? What're you doin' here?" And FakeJanice is like, "Dude, will you wake up already?" FakeJanice moves toward the cell door and goes to leave, but Matt runs after her and the guard attacks him and throws him down. And Nathan and ScaryNathan start fighting each other out on the FakeRoof. Then Matt's fighting the guard and Nathan's fighting himself, and it quickly becomes clear that Matt and Nathan are actually fighting each other but think they're fighting their enemies. It all comes to a crashing end when Matt holds off Nathan and realizes what's happening and finally gets Nathan to wake the hell up.
Back in the real world, Parkman throws Nathan off of him and poor Adrian Pasdar head-checks into a cabinet, like, for real, and it's a true testament to the pro that The Pasdar is that he doesn't immediately call "CUT" and roll off to get some ice and a cocktail. No, he continues on in the scene, even though he almost had his eye taken out by the edge of that damn thing. I rewound this portion several times just to make sure that The Pasdar does indeed slam the side of his skull into the edge, and boy howdy, does he. Dang. So, they roll around a bit, looking disoriented, and then we cut to commercial and I go get more alcohol.
