Outside their hotel, Stanford tells Mark to keep his mouth shut regarding the Mosaic project. An SUV crashes into the agents' car. A group of Asian men exit the SUV and fire a grenade launcher. The grenade explodes inside the car just before they barely manage to escape.

The show jumps back 39 hours earlier. An agent asks Demetri to speak with him in the debriefing room. Each of the agents are strapped to a lie detector as they give statements about what they saw during their flashforward. Mark says he saw two masked men carrying Kalashnikovs. After the interviews, Mark calls Aaron who tells him he is setting up his alarm system. Mark says he is stressed out since he has some meetings to attend. As she gets her mail, Olivia overhears Aaron suggest to Mark to attend an AA meeting. Mark asks Aaron to take care of his family while he is gone.

While Stanford plays basketball with the President, he asks him to make sure his funding is not cut during the Senate hearings. He says they are getting leads on what caused the black outs. Stanford says he would like him on his side. The President says it wouldn't help since his former campaign rival, Senator Clemente, is heading the hearing.

In L.A., Janis spars in a dojo and takes down a man. Afterwards, he compliments her and asks if she would like to go to a movie later. She says she already has plans and suggests he ask again later. After he leaves, Janis's friend Maya tells her the guy seems like a douche.

Al gives Janis a flash drive containing Somalian satellite data he obtained from the CIA. She asks another agent to look for any information about crows dying during '91.

The agents attend a press briefing held by the President. He announces the Senate hearings will be closed since they will discuss National Security. He says the Senate will shut down any unnecessary programs. Since the Vice President has died, he will announce his replacement nominee soon. He states like other world leaders, he will not discuss what he saw in his flashforward.

Back home, Aaron helps Olivia set up her alarm system. She admits she heard him talking to Mark about the meetings in Washington D.C. She reminds him the last time Mark started drinking, he was in D.C. Olivia figures Aaron knows about her flashforward. She says it is crazy to think she would be with another man. Aaron says since Mark is an alcoholic, he doesn't need a reason to start drinking again. Olivia says she is not sure if she can trust him. Aaron says if she can't trust Mark, who can she trust.

Stanford meets with the President in the Oval Office. He thanks him again for his work during the campaign. He feels bad that he couldn't bring Stanford into his administration from the start. He asks him if he wants to be his Director of Homeland Security. Stanford is a little upset he wasn't asked to be his vice president.

Janis has dinner with Maya. She says the FBI doesn't trust giving guns to gays, so she hasn't told anyone she is a lesbian. Maya shares she was wearing a wedding ring in her flashforward. Maya asks Janis what she saw. Janis jokes and says she was having a three way with Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin on the International Space Station. Maya tries to one up her fantasy and says she was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, tried to call Janis, but she didn't answer. Janis says she doesn't believe she would ever let her down, then gives her a kiss.

At the Senate Intelligence Committee headed by Senator Clemente, several experts testify. One man blames China for the blackout. Clemente says that most of the Chinese population was asleep at the time. He testifies since most the causalities were in the US, it seems like the country was targeted. Senator Clemente says Stanford will testify next.

During recess, Clemente tells him if her campaign could have proved what he did with a woman before the election, she would be the President now. Clementine says in her flashforward she saw herself as President in six months.
