Sleepwalking in Your Footsteps

So Walsh leaves and starts wandering around, and Sarah follows him, crouching for cover behind a car as Walsh goes skulking around the side of a house, and then prying open a window and climbing in. I can't say I approve of OSHA's methods!

Back at the funeral, Zoe comes over to talk to John while Cameron stands there robotically, and John asks if Henry's going to be OK. "Henry smokes a lot of weed," says Zoe. Is that a yes? I don't understand kids today! John says his father died before he was even born, and Zoe's all, "My father's a pile of ashes somewhere, so I guess we're both screwed," and then John's all, "I thought you picked out a grey suit to bury him in?" Nice work, Columbo. Zoe stares at him for a moment before saying, "Why am I even talking to you?" which I can't believe everybody doesn't say to John every episode, and she snaps that he doesn't know her or what she's going through. "Stop trying to make it seem like you're some kind of sensitivity expert. You don't know anything." I can't believe everybody doesn't say that to him every episode either.

Zoe stomps off to her family and friends. "She's not crying," Cameron says. "She's not doing a lot of things," says John. Zoe gets in a car, avoiding eye contact with John.

My GOD, when are we going to get to the fireworks factory here? Weaver's looking at her BlackBerry when Ellison strolls in, and the big suckup went home at lunchtime to go put a plaid tie on, and offers his sympathies for Lachlan's death. Much like Zoe, Weaver ain't exactly wearing out her mascara with the tears. Ellison starts talking about when his father died. "He was a tough man. We didn't get along." But it still took him a long time to come to terms with his death, so he threw himself into work so he wouldn't have to. Weaver asks if this was recent. "Recent enough," says Ellison. "Then you understand," says Weaver. Ellison asks how Savannah does with it, and Weaver is puzzled by the question, so Ellison has to explain that he means how she's handled her father's death. "Dr. Sherman was very helpful in that regard," she says, and Ellison points out that Dr. Sherman is no longer among the living either. Weaver says children are very "resilient," and then Ellison says he's surprised that Savannah isn't here for the anniversary, and Weaver says it's important to maintain routine, and it's not like there's an actual ceremony or anything, like I'm not sure if Ellison expects Weaver to bring her daughter and force her to look at a handful of plaid-wearing people. "Today's not the day for excitement," says Weaver. Ain't that the truth. Then she asks Ellison to excuse her: "I'm feeling emotional." Wow -- that is advanced emotion-mimicry technology. "I'm experiencing feelings. Please excuse me." Ellison strolls out of the office, Weaver watching him. She buzzes her secretary: "Find my daughter and bring her to me."
