Wanda lies in wait for Scott in his office and demands something out of him. Scott doesn't mind but Pietro might. Oh well.

( Wanda, did you pick the lock? )

In Hawaii, Pietro waits for the arrival of Scott and the team. And waits. They're a whole four minutes late, curse them. Toad, of course, jumps to the conclusion that they're there for his new prized gadget.

( He so very much resented having to employ amateurs. )

Toad turns out to have protected his gadget - rather well, as a matter of fact. Sam and Cain ponder the problem. So does Lorna. Look who's on-site after all!

( Anyone want to explain this to me? )

Rematch time, as Toad spots Jean. But there's been a lot of water under the bridge since Liberty Island, and Toad is no match for Phoenix.

( The base was very well equipped for ambushes. )

Back to the forcefield. Sam and Cain indulge in a little nostalgia. It doesn't precisely work.

( Fire away, Cannonball. I ain't got the first clue. )

Scott, sitting in the plane, is joined by Pietro, with the list. Pietro doesn't take Scott's concern for him very well, but that's just his way.

( Your sister's worrying herself gray as it is, and we both know she'll be able to read between the lines of the mission report. )

It turns out that it's a very good thing Lorna's on-site. She's the only one who can figure out Toad's remote. Maybe.

( Unless you can figure out a way to turn the generator off, we're pretty much screwed )

Elsewhere, the last part of the plan falls into place as Alison knocks Pietro out, somewhat ostentatiously.

( Oh goody! I get to do the pretty light show! )

No boom today. Maybe boom tomorrow.

( We're not dead. )

( It was 80 degrees and beautiful in Hawaii. )

Scott follows up on his discussion with Pietro by looking for Lorna. Lorna doesn't want to have anything to do with the mission.

( I quit, Scott. For good reason. )

After dinner, Alex picks up on Lorna's unease. She tells him about Scott's request and he is about as happy about it as you'd expect.

( I'm going to Hawaii. Tomorrow, actually. )
