Suture Up Your Future

Olivia's at home, answering a knock at the door, which turns out to be Nina, hoping it's not too late. Olivia invites her in, and Nina says Broyles told her about Emily, and Nina wanted to see if Olivia is all right. The two of them sit down on the couch and then fight about who needs to apologize more for their discussion this afternoon. Nina says what happened to Olivia as a child was unconscionable, and she's come so far that she sometimes forgets how much Olivia has been expected to forgive. As for Olivia, the fact that she thought she was going to die today made her think that Nina wouldn't know how she felt: "You're the closest thing I have to a mother. And I love you," she says. Awww, the "closest thing" to a mother, it kind of gets you right here. Is this because of Nina's arm?

Anyway, Nina smiles and calls her "Olive" and gets all verklempt and then Olivia closes her eyes for a moment, blaming it on migraines. Nina does her very best to look surprised and concerned, and gets up to make her soup. "I'm the closest thing you have to a mother, remember?" Oh, and there's this "remarkable" new drug that Massive Dynamic has been working on that Nina will send over tomorrow. Yes, Olivia won't mind being a guinea pig for an expensive new drug, right?

We end with a shot of an Observer watching Olivia's place from across the street. I know I don't normally bother noting these, but it seems particularly relevant that the commercial-break glyphs spell out "MARCH" this week.
