After commercial, Samuel says he doesn't mean them any harm as HRG has a gun trained on him. Claire tells her dad Samuel said he was Becky's uncle, and Samuel seems hurt to discover that Claire was stalling, keeping him talking. Claire says he seemed to like to talk, and then asks if he actually thinks she would trust him over her dad. HRG says he just ran into Becky, and she's not all there, is she? Samuel acknowledges she's disturbed, but says HRG had a hand in that. Bennet lowers his gun and tosses the compass to Samuel, asking what he knows about that. Samuel holds it and it starts spinning. HRG says every time he sees it, it comes with a dead body: first Danko's. Samuel interrupts and says Danko started all this by killing his brother. He says they didn't want any bloodshed. HRG says he forgot to tell his knife-wielding friend, who sliced Bennet's guts open. Samuel says this compass could mean trouble in the wrong hands, because they need to stay hidden. Bennet wonders from who, and Samuel says Bennet, for starters. He says no offense, but Bennet has a reputation for scorching earth to get to people like him. He says he just wants to get to Rebecca and get her some help. Bennet raises his gun again and says he wants answers.
Hospital. Emma finds a little girl lying unconscious on the floor. Peter comes in and suggests they get her to the E.R., but she says there's no time and she can do this. It's a pneumothorax. She asks for a thoracotomy kit (or something like that) and then gives the little girl a giant shot while Peter monitors her vitals. The girls gasps and wakes up. Peter tells Emma she did it, and comforts the little girl.
Bennet's handcuffing Samuel, who tells him he should watch how he treats him in front of his daughter, since she's like him. Bennet tells Samuel he should watch what he says to his daughter and takes the compass from him. Samuel yells to Claire not to blame her father, since he really doesn't understand us. Bennet orders Samuel in the car, and then someone invisible knocks down Claire and then HRG. Samuel watches but then jumps up and says, "Rebecca! No!" He grabs HRG's taser and shoots her with it, knocking her down. He goes to her and tells her no, as Claire watches, engrossed. HRG gets up with his gun drawn, and Claire yells, "Dad! Don't!" She runs toward him and he pushes her roughly out of the way. Becky and Samuel watch, horrified. She says, "Dad, no!" again from the ground, and Samuel and Becky scamper off. HRG apologizes to Claire and asks if she's all right. She doesn't look thrilled with him.
