Rocks Fall; No One Dies

Suddenly! A shadowy figure appears in the frame behind Sean and Leila! It appears to lift a gun, but it's too backlit to tell for sure. A woman's voice tells them, "You shouldn't have come here."

Simon calls Thomas to tell him that his cover's blown. Thomas tells him that it's time to move on again, which you'd think Simon would have realized on his own. Simon has a brief fit in his car.

TEN YEARS EARLIER, in the lovely city of WASHINGTON, DC, Simon and another guy talk about how they just graduated from Spy University. But then they pass an old lady who calls Simon "Mason." It's that lady from 1954, but now she's old. And now she notices that he hasn't aged a day. The woman's daughter (or possibly nurse) explains that she has Alzheimer's, which is pretty convenient for Simon. He seems affected but can only say "I'm sorry. You must have me confused with someone else." Okay, that's an incredibly generic line there, but this scene is still the most interesting thing in the show. I'd be delighted to have a show about what it's like to be an incredibly long-lived person trying to hide in regular society. That's right: this show is making me pine for the coherent storytelling of Highlander: The Series.

The Situation Room. Sterling wants a picture up on the center screen. It's Sophia! They found her, but this image is ten minutes old. They should probably send some men over to shadow her, but I don't know how their chain of command works with Simon no longer involved. Come to think of it, shouldn't Sterling be asking what happened to that guy he sent over to check on the field team? And while I'm on the subject, Sterling told someone to pick up Sean a few episodes ago, and he doesn't seem to have followed up on that at all. I think his Tragic Flaw is that he forgets about ongoing projects. Anyway, Sophia is seen going into a building. Simon tells Thomas that they're on her trail, so I guess he's going to keep doing his job until someone specifically tells him that he's been found out as a They infiltrator. Then he'll run. Simon tells Thomas that he should flee, but Thomas claims to have a contingency plan.
