...and then Meredith opens a set of double doors, with Hiro's face still superimposed on them. That was cool, if silly. Anyway, Meredith has decided to break Flint out, and as she hurriedly uses her security access to free him, she explains that there's a train yard about half a mile away, and they can hop a freight to Houston. Flint is still on about the agent thing, but Meredith is sugar-free: "They're tricking you because you're dumb. You remember what Daddy used to say? God gave you a big sister instead of a brain." Love her, and Daddy sounds like kind of a hoot himself. Flint looks at her balefully, but you know he's beaten...
...so we might as well cut to the train, on which Meredith tells him they'll head from Houston to Mexico for a while. She then reiterates that he can never trust The Company, and starts to make him promise he won't, but we hear the familiar crackling of a taser, and Meredith goes down to reveal Eric Roberts behind her. Flint thinks Eric Roberts actually killed her, and tries to incinerate him, but Eric Roberts ducks behind some crates, and Flint runs. Eric Roberts spares a glance Meredith's way to make sure she's unconscious, but once he starts off in pursuit of Flint, Meredith opens her eyes. Was that an act, and she's impervious to electricity as well as fire, or did she just recover really quickly? Neither seems all that likely, but you've seen this show before. Meredith moves and sees Eric Roberts heading toward her trapped and not-too-swift brother, so she yells in an attempt to get Eric Roberts after her instead, which succeeds. Flint then starts after Eric Roberts, but when Eric Roberts turns, Flint doesn't attack him for some reason, so Meredith is forced to fling herself at Eric Roberts, and not in the good way. While they're struggling (and Eric Roberts punches Meredith in the face), Flint manages to get the heavy door open and jump out. Eric Roberts can't believe Meredith screwed things up, and says that despite her misgivings, they could have given Flint purpose, but now he's their sworn enemy. She snarls, "So am I," and shoots flames in his direction. He weaves out of the way, but his eyes get momentarily dazzled, and she takes the opportunity to run past him. The fire quickly spreads, and they barely manage to get off ahead of the contents of the car exploding. I hope they don't end up hitchhiking in the same automobile, because that would be hella awkward for the driver.
