Francine and her mother have a heart-to-heart talk. Marie drops a bombshell on her: She was "Mary Midnight" and that's how she met her father, he was in a photo club. But when she became pregnant with Benjamin she left it all behind and concentrated on being a good mother. Her father fell in love with one woman, but ended up married to another, just like he always said. Francine tells her Dad misses the woman he fell in love with. "We are grateful you tried to do what was best for us, but we're all grown up now, what about you?"

Tambi meets Sara and her boss on the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah. She wants to trade an iPod for Katchoo. The hard drive of the iPod cointains all the banking and corporate information of the Parker Girl operation. In exchange, the FBI obtains complete absolution for any and all charges against Tambi and her girls. Then Tambi will assemble an elite team of her best to work for the U S, but they will not exist on any payroll. They will go where the US officially cannot go and do what the US cannot do under existing laws. And if the FBI says no, then Tambi goes back to the way things were, keep the money, and do it all without them anyway.

Tambi strikes the deal. Becky and Cherry Hammer will work with her. Katchoo is a free woman. And she wonders what free people do.

In Carolyn Hobbs' office Peter sticks his head in and says there's a tall gorgeous brunette down in the gallery asking about Katchoo. "Is it Sara? She dyes her hair, you know." It's not Sara, it's the real thing. Katchoo briefly hopes it might be Francine. But it's David.

"Hi. Remember me?"
