At 7:40:02, Hastings leads Reed along the hallway to his office, clumsily apologizing. "I'm sure you understand that given the threat to President Hassan, we were under extreme pressure," he excuses. Reed doesn't exactly take the high road, instead saying, "I would have thought that came with the job. Along with the ability to handle it." Then she's ushered into the office, to find Hassan there waiting. Although they're in there alone, they don't exactly rush to each other. Meredith says she heard how Farhad betrayed him, but he says Farhad betrayed hem both. No shit. "And then I betrayed you," Reed confesses. They finally cross the room to each other as she admits telling on him. And she's grateful to him for not bailing on her. "Before that moment I never really knew what you felt for me." Hassan thought he'd made that clear. Aw. But she can tell something's on his mind. He says he saw today how fragile everything he's worked for really is, and he can't jeopardize it. Which is a nice way of saying he's dumping her. She begins to leave, and he takes her arm, only to see his bodyguard outside the glass door, pointedly looking away. She leaves without another word at 7:42:27.
In the conference room, Walker is giving a briefing on her old undercover op. She broke up an arms ring and arrested everyone but the leader, Vladimir Laitanin.
