Synopsis

Danko is shaving his face when his alarm goes off. It says his front door is open, so he wipes his face, grabs his gun and goes to investigate. He shuts his front door and turns around to search his apartment. Hanging in front of a window is Eric Doyle. He's hanging like a puppet on strings with a curtain around him and a big bow and gift tag attached. The gift tag says "My Gift To You". Eric Doyle gasps, but doesn't wake up.
HRG finds Angela's limo sitting in traffic in NYC. It's pouring rain. Angela tells him they shouldn't talk anymore because it's getting too dangerous to risk him being seen with her. HRG says he's touched or he would be if he believed she actually cared about his safety. Angela says what she believes is HRG is distracted. He didn't pack his umbrella on a cloudy day and he has razor cuts all over his face because he used a dull razor. She says that family is a horrible price to pay for what they're trying to do. She realizes the irony of alienating her sons to save them. HRG says he's sure Nathan will forgive her, but Angela says she knows Peter won't. He said his goodbyes.
Angela points out that now Danko has thrown Nathan off a building and seen him fly away, it's all up to HRG. He has to give Danko a reason to trust him; he should turn in one of them. She says if she were a better woman, she'd tell him to turn her in. HRG asks, "what makes you so sure I haven't?" Angela replies he needs a bigger catch. She tells him to give Danko Rebel and Danko will be HRG's best friend. HRG points out Angela may need Rebel's services soon, but Angela says she's resourceful and will find ways to survive without Rebel. She tells HRG she plans on leaving the city that night and reminds him he only has fifteen minutes to catch the next train to DC. She gives him her umbrella and says "don't say I never did anything for you". He tells her not to go home and says "don't say I never did anything for you" and leaves.
Danko enters a room marked "Human Resources" that is full of people on surgical tables with IV bags going to their noses. Mohinder comes in the room and asks Danko "What is this?". Danko replies that it's "an effective way of stopping any of you from hurting any of us". Mohinder asks why he doesn't do it the old fashioned way and dig a ditch. Danko calls it gun control, everyone in the room is 'armed and dangerous' including Mohinder. Mohinder sees Daphne and asks why she's been moved from the medical facility. Danko says there was the American taxpayer to consider. Mohinder starts examining her and says she needs to get to the hospital right away. He asks to speak to Nathan and Danko tells him that Nathan flew away. Mohinder says he can't do anything to help Daphne here, she needs to go to the emergency room. Danko says he doesn't want Mohinder to help her. He brought Mohinder to this room so he wouldn't have to carry him. An operative shocks Mohinder and Danko says to hook him up to an IV and prepare a bed for Tracy.
Tracy is in her room with the heat lamps. She struggles a second, then she manages to blow out a puff of frost.
Danko and HRG enter the room with all the people on the tables. Danko tells HRG he brought him a present. HRG asks if that was the same line he used on Mohinder to get him to come in. Danko points out with the recent management changes it's really important that they get along. He brings HRG to Doyle's bed and says, "Happy whatever". He knows what Doyle did to Meredith and Claire and thought HRG might like to see the puppet-master strung up. HRG asks to return the favor and bring in Rebel. He suggests letting Rebel save Tracy Strauss. Using her as bait, they could capture Rebel. Danko doesn't like the plan at first, pointing out that Tracy is a killer. HRG promises to kill Tracy himself if the plan goes wrong and chalk it up to self-defense. Danko agrees.
