Mia leaves so they can talk things out. Felicity apologizes but is interrupted by the location of their target appearing on her screen. 

William watches the Galaxy One propoganda again. Mia tells William that Roy went with Felicity instead. She asks William what's wrong, she thought he and Felicity were okay.
