Casa Emily. Nolan reminisces a little about Padma while Ems brings him a mug of coffee. He's really tortured over her death. It's heartbreaking to hear him admit that he still finds himself accidentally sending Padma instant messages. Ems thinks taking action will help him cope. The idea sends Nolan into a shame spiral because he should've taken action to stop the Falcon back when David was still alive. Ems asks him not to do that to himself. Luckily, Emanda's laptop chimes with a notice that the Falcon has just accessed Victoria's medical records. Nolan has installed a trigger for when the Falcon encounters a rewrite in the code. When it happens, a hilarious little animation clip of an oversized headshot of Nolan on a tiny cartoon body shooting down a falcon with a bow and arrow plays. Nolan: "A little too on the nose?" The Falcon immediately sends an instant message to ask what Nolan wants. He asks to meet. Without hesitation, the Falcon sends a challenge. He wants to meet Nolan at Teddy's Arcade, adding "DYT" or "defend your title." Nolan explains to Emanda that he set the world record high score for Street Fighter back in 1988. Of course Nolan did. He accepts the Falcon's geek challenge. Things are about to get down, right + fierce.

From his office at Grayson Global, Daniel tells Ems to relay to Nolan that he can take all the time he needs away from the office. Ems thanks Daniel, which gets an awesome grossed out face from Nolan, who's sitting on the couch hacking away on his laptop. Before she hangs up with Dan, Ems invites herself to come and watch Conrad's Nightline interview, and Daniel says he'd be happy to have her there. Nolan commends Emanda on the sneaky ingress, but it won't mean much if he can't best the Falcon. Nolan throws on a black and silver letterman jacket with a big, red lobster patch on the back because that's just the type of thing Nolan does. He and Emanda part ways.
Back at Grayson Global, Dan ushers in his two o'clock meeting -- Takeda. Daniel has summoned Takeda because he's grown concerned with Aiden's conduct, especially after he made the trades that angered the Initiative. He asks to see Takeda's personnel file on Aiden. Just as Takeda's about to answer, Aiden happens to burst into the room. He's shocked to see Takeda, immediately switching to Japanese so he can get on the same page with his mentor in front of Daniel. They excuse themselves to go have a business meeting over drinks, and Dan's none the wiser because he never is the wiser.
