Scott's finally out of Amelia's clutches the makeshift greenhouse-infirmary and back in his own suite. Betsy stops in to see him before she heads back to New York. This conversation goes a whole lot better than their last.

( Sometimes you had to play bureaucrat. )

At the hotel, Angelo checks in on Nathan and finds him sound asleep at his laptop. He's in the process of pulling the blinds when the furniture in the room starts to move. And no, it's not an earthquake.

( Nate! Wake up! )

Scott ventures outside. Well, only as far as the porch. Ororo comes out to keep him company, and the two of them have their first real talk about what happened.

( I shouldn't be sitting out here brooding. )

( ~How much?~ )

Purchase made, Nate now has only to convince her of his good intentions - easier said than done.
