Alca-Hub. Hauser's on the phone, telling someone to cancel the AMBER Alert on Dylan. Whoever is on the other end must mention Lucy, because Hauser gets all flustered and shouts that she's still in the hospital. He throws down the phone. He touches Lucy's jacket and glasses still on her desk. This seems to calm him down a bit until he suddenly knocks her chair aside. He either loves Lucy or hates furniture.
Rebecca and Doc talk to Dylan's mom about his hobbies. He likes comic books and cartoons. He doesn't care anything for fishing or other outdoorsy things. Doc starts having a minor freakout as he realizes he's read the clues wrong. He starts going on about cherry pie until Rebecca asks him to wait outside. As Doc makes his way out front, he sees all the cops leaving. They tell him about the alert being canceled. Hauser drives up just in time for Doc to confront him. "You did this? You canceled the AMBER Alert?" he asks. "Yeah, I did, for the greater good," Hauser says. He plans to just wait until Kit Nelson shows back up with the kid on Sunday night. You know, when the kid is already dead. Hauser doesn't want Nelson's picture getting out to the media. Doc blows up on him. "It's complicated," Hauser sighs. "No, it's simple!" Doc shouts. "I know this because I'm a human being!" By now Rebecca has joined them and tells Doc to calm down. He storms off down the street. "He's just not cut out for this job," Hauser says. Because he's not a soulless robot, you mean? Rebecca tries to walk off the job in a show of support, but Hauser snits that she'll never find her grandfather now. She points out there's more at stake than that and stomps off so he can stand there all alone, looking ridiculous in his wayfarer sunglasses.
Doc begins his hunt for some good cherry pie. He stops in a diner, asks around. Nelson hasn't been there. Rebecca calls him from the Alcatraz storeroom and gets his voicemail. She grabs Nelson's belongings just as Hauser shows up. She basically tells him that the box is meaningless without Doc there to interpret its contents. Also, someone please give this woman a barrette or something before she gets whiplash from repeatedly flipping the hair out of her eyes. Hauser finally relents and tells her to go get Doc back.
