When Michael comes out alone, the police are a little rough with him, given how his bad arm doesn't easily go behind him like the cops want it to. But he manages to smile at Fi, signaling that he has the addresses. Jesse says it's not over -- Dennis could blow the device when the cops get close, and take a bunch of them with him. "Fi, how do you want to play it?" Sam asks. But before she can answer, Jesse hits the detonator in his hand, blowing Fi's new house to shit. Everyone's shocked at what he just did, and Jesse tells Sam and Fi, "Sometimes you gotta put the rabid dog down." From the ground, Michael watches Jesse walk away. He's always been a bit of a loose cannon, but now he's a loose cannon in a bad mood.
Madeline comes home to find Michael standing in her kitchen looking pensive. She still wants to know why Michael does it. "I dunno," he shrugs, admitting that the doesn't know if he's that different from anyone else who likes the feeling of a trigger on their finger. "Whatever," Madeline analyzes. "Maybe you got some repressed crap, you know?" Her point is that it doesn't matter. "You're one of the good guys, Michael. I'm proud of you." Plus she got him a present: a new pair of sunglasses, just like the Algerian ones he lost. "It's called shopping," she says. "We all have our strengths. Now go do what you do."
So Michael goes and does what he does, which is getting out of his Charger in his suit and sunglasses in slow motion. He's meeting Jesse, who he thanks for the other day. "Let's just do this," Jesse grumps. They're paying a visit to Justin Walsh, the guy Jesse found out about from Ichabod Bolt. Walking through his front gate, Jesse explains, "A buddy of Sam's said the guy's had national security clearance for over a decade. He's, uh, apparently fond of wrought iron, and now you're all caught up." Michael wonders if Walsh would even know what he was looking at. Peering inside through the window of a front door, Jesse says, "I think he knew." Could he be using the past tense because there's a body on the floor in there?
