Come on, Eileen

So back at the trailer (yeah, THAT'S a smart move), Sarah and Allan yell at each other, with Sarah saying she wants the truth and Allan insisting that he doesn't know anything. "You're a fake," Sarah says, and Allan calls her the exact same thing: "You're a mother. You're a seeker. You're a soldier. You're everything," and I find myself hitting fast-forward. "I'm a man who lives as a woman. You're a woman who lives --" he starts, but he never gets to finish it because Sarah's got her gun pointed right at him. Eventually, he shuts up about how he was almost killed.

Maybe if he had been killed, we wouldn't have to listen to more blah-blah about how despite everything that's happened, he doesn't hate the people he worked for, because he used to be a cog in a machine but now he's doing something he believes in, or whatever. Honestly, I can barely keep my eyes open at this point. "Eileen" says the old Allan Park is dead. "I was a waitress. They killed her too," says Sarah. Now we're just killing time. She asks about the lab Allan worked at, and he says he has no idea where it is, since they picked everyone up in a windowless van to take them to and from work every day. Sarah says she thinks she knows someone who might be able to help, and she hands over a pamphlet for Dr. Barbara Morris the "hypno-regression therapist," the lecturer at the UFO conference.

So now Riley is ... back in the bathroom at the Connor Compound? At any rate, she flashes back to visiting Jesse at the hotel because she needed someone to talk to. "Phones. That's why we have phones," says an extremely pissed Jesse. A distraught Riley says she got kicked out of her foster home because she hit her foster mom. She thinks that instead of going into another foster home, she and Jesse can get a place together. "I'll just tell John that I quit school, and then we can be together," she says. This would be when Jesse hauls off and smacks. "I'm not here to babysit you. And you're not here to feel sorry for yourself," she snaps. She lectures a shocked Riley on how she's here to do a job: keep John away from her. "Go do your job," she says. You know, I assumed she meant Sarah, but given that she doesn't say Sarah's name, it could be Jesse's referring to an even tougher bodyguard...
