Riley's bandaged hand reaches out and gather up Buffy's head scarf, which is lying on a table nearby. Riley is in a sterile-looking hospital room, and gets up off the bed, clutching his bandaged ribcage. He pulls on a shirt, grimacing with pain, and goes to the door of his room where a uniformed soldier is standing. The soldier blocks Riley's exit and Riley tells him to, "Stand down before I put you down." Forrest comes along and tells the soldier to obey Riley's command and Riley begins to walk away down the hall. Forrest follows him and calls him, "The shish-kebob that walks like a man." Riley doesn't reply and just continues to button up his shirt. Riley finally says he has "places to be" and Forrest demands to know where. When Riley implies that he's going to see Buffy, Forrest makes a disgusted noise and blocks his path. They bicker about Riley seeing Buffy and the giant cleft chin that walks like a man, Graham, sidles up and says, "We all friends here, fellas?" Forrest says they are but continues to block Riley's path and fixes him with a glare and says Riley is going to explain why he's leaving. Riley asserts, "I don't explain because I don't have to. I'm the one in charge." Forrest says that could change and adds that there are big problems at the Initiative and they should "band together." Graham agrees, and Forrest continues that they need to keep the problem (Adam) "within the family." Riley questions whether they are a family and dourly tells Forrest to "step aside." I just realized that Forrest is a dead ringer for my figure skating coach except that my coach is already out of the closet.
