Sean and Leila are at the house in Tulsa. Already. Even though they just told us that it was twelve hours away, and the news report in the hotel room meant that the timeline was allegedly in sync with the DC timeline. But here we are in Tulsa. I don't wish to start a fight with the good people of Tulsa, but I feel like this show could select more high-profile locations. The woman in the house doesn't want to talk to them, because she's obviously hiding a deep, dark secret. We as the audience already assume that the secret is that her little girl now has the face of an old lady, which kind of drains the excitement out of this scene. Leila does her usual thing where she begs to get help finding Samantha. Sean doesn't say anything, which is probably for the best. He's proven fairly ineffectual at begging for things.
The woman reluctantly lets them into the house, where there are bags packed for a quick escape. She tells them that Abby (her little girl, who recently escaped) is resting and can't talk to them. Anyway, Abby doesn't remember anything before being found at a truck stop in Stillwater. Then the mother gets abstract, saying, "Everything should be fine. But it's not." Then she gets mad at Sean and Leila, telling them they don't know what it's like. But she also won't tell them what she's talking about, which is just unhelpful. A jerk enters, and he appears to be Abby's father. He shouts a lot about how nobody's allowed to see Abby. Or even talk about her. Leila makes a really good point about how Abby might be able to help free the other little girls, but Jerky McGee over here doesn't care. Besides, he claims, Abby doesn't remember anything at all, so there's no point in asking her anything. Just then! A little girl in a hooded sweatshirt wanders into the room. Abby (for it is she, although we don't see her face) apparently heard the yelling, and she asks if Leila is Samantha's sister. So she clearly not only remembers things, she was even there when Samantha was brought there and is willing to talk about it. So naturally, the jerk shouts some more and threatens to call the police. Sean makes Leila leave. Even though it seems like this little girl has concrete information on the conspiracy that's attached to an attempt on the President's life, so maybe it's the sort of thing that the police should be involved in.
More hot make-outs! This time it's Thomas and Isabel. I feel like somebody has decided the most exciting way to start a scene is to have two people rolling around in a bed. Thomas assures Isabel that Sophia doesn't suspect a thing. And as though that weren't enough hubris, he tells her to stop doubting him. She kind of rolls her eyes and goes through a series of instructions about Elevator #3 and plastic sheeting for hiding Sophia's body and so on.
