He comments that she could have killed herself and asks what the hell she was thinking about. "Claire?" he says. "You've got to start trusting me." She starts to cry a little and says that she lied to him when she said nothing happened at the bonfire. "What happened to you?" he asks, a sweat breaking out on his face. "He tried toâ¦he tried to force me," she finally says. All of a sudden, BGM's inner dad takes over and he's all, THE QUARTERBACK? Claire tells him that Jock the Rapist threw her down and she hit her head and woke up somewhere else. Way to tell the truth without telling the whole truth, Claire! BGM kind of looks down at her hand that he's holding and his expression sort of reads, dammit, she didn't tell me about the indestructibility; but I am going to KILL THAT SON OF A BITCH. It's a nice job on Jack Coleman's part, really. Claire goes on to say that she's sorry she lied but she didn't know what else to do because she can't prove anything. "He was gonna get away with it again," she says, distressed. "I'm not the only one." She begs her father not to say anything and he just smiles reassuringly at her. "No one's gonna know," he says with a tinge of his old creepiness. "No one's gonna know a thing." What makes me think this isn't a GOOD thing?
Isaac's Den of Iniquity. Isaac's cleaning his brushes and looking generally forlorn and washed out. Peter knocks and enters. He says he needs Isaac's help. Isaac's all, yeaaaaah. How 'bout you go ask SIMONE for some help, Romeo? Peter takes his comment pretty well, then mentions the painting Isaac did of him flying. "Okay, it happened," he says. "It was real. I flew." Isaac bitterly congratulates him, and Peter tells him that he believes him. "You can paint the future!" Isaac just sticks his finger in Peter's face and says nothing. Dude. That's really rude. Don't nobody stick a finger in MY face. Isaac goes back to messing with his paints and Peter says that whatever's happening to Isaac is happening to him and they're supposed to meet. "You're supposed to have the answer," says Peter. "Is that what I sound like?" says Isaac. "No wonder she left me. I don't have any answers." Peter's dumbfounded and says that Isaac's supposed to know where he has to go. "See for yourself," says Isaac.
