Anna's crashed out on that semi-circular couch, looking like she just got back from a three-martini lunch. Or three bloody marys, am I right? Amy appears in front of her. "Are you okay, mommy?" the little moppet asks. Anna says she's fine, but Amy starts caressing her head. "I'm making you feel better just like you make me feel better," Amy says. Anna takes Amy's hands and says she herself is the only one who has that ability. "Why would you think to do that?" As No. 2 drifts unnoticed into the doorway, Amy answers, "Because I love you." Anna's eyes look like they might almost shed tears of ordinary ice water, as her heart swells in the wrong side of her chest. She gathers the child into her arms and settles in for a snuggle. No. 2. quietly takes in the scene, visibly replays his earlier conversation with Diana in his mind, and leaves without announcing his presence, let alone mentioning Diana. Anna needs a goddamn door.
At 5CHQ, Sid, Kyle, Jack and Chad are hanging around aimlessly when Erica walks in, with Ryan and Lisa in tow. Erica tells an instantly worked-up Kyle to stand down. "He saved our lives. I don't like him, I don't forgive him, but we need him." Jack asks for what, giving Erica her cue to launch into a speech. "Every attempt we have made to take down Anna has failed." Because you suck. "We are surrounded by an invasion fleet." Nice of Sid to call and tell her that. "We are out of options. We don't stand a chance in hell of stopping Anna without help. This is help." With that, she cues Lisa to step forward with a holoprojector. And suddenly, right there in the 5CHQ, is a life-sized projection of Diana. Lisa introduces the glowing newcomer as her grandmother. "I was queen before Anna overthrew me," Diana tells them. Whether she's live or pre-recorded isn't immediately clear, not that it matters. Erica explains to her boys that Diana's going to help them make sure history repeats itself. "We're going to overthrow Anna. " But first they have a lot of standing around staring at each other dramatically.
