Daisy thinks of all the times she has seen Baby Nicole’s picture; she was looking at herself. Horrified, she realizes that Neil and Melanie died because she had gone to the protest march, but Elijah insists her parents had already been suspected as Mayday operatives. He leaves to arrange transportation for them, cautioning Daisy to stay in and not look out the windows. He returns with George, the street person Daisy had thought was a stalker. George had witnessed three men walking Neil and Melanie out of the shop, holding them up like they were drunk. The men placed Neil and Melanie in the car, where they slumped over, and a minute later the car exploded. Ada and Elijah worry that the men were Eyes, and Neil and Melanie might have revealed something.
The group heads down to another apartment in the building owned by a man named Garth, who will provide transport. The apartment barely looks lived in. Ada tells Daisy they must be quiet and wait.
Daisy sleeps for a while, and Garth is there when she wakes up. He looks at her with interest, calling her Baby Nicole, but Daisy asks him not to call her that.
