Manuel makes a food run to the kitchen at the same time that Scott comes up from the hangar to make one himself. Manuel airs his doubts about the choice he made not to stop Shiro, and Scott's response succeeds in confusing him.

Paul and Shinobi are off to look at the rental property for the formal party they're throwing.  Shinobi gets a little morose in the music room and ends up obliquely discussing his relationship with Sarah.  At the end, he resolves to talk to her and he and Paul agree that after the fact, they'll go for a drive to wherever Shinobi's of legal drinking age and sit down and maybe Paul will be a little more forthcoming about the part of his past that lets him empathize with what Shinobi's going through.

Nate's down getting some tests run in medlab; Paul finds out and comes to keep him company, just returning the favour Nate did him while he was stuck down there.  They talk for a while about Moira and then training.  Paul proposes an unusual "training" exercise that Nate may regret agreeing to before all's said and done.
