Maggie's jaw dropped as Hannibal turned and walked away. So that was how it was going to be? If she was so easy to dismiss then it was obvious to her that Hannibal didn't really love her as she thought because if he did, he would have given her time to explain herself.

"Maggie," Ellen said quietly as the Doctor quickly wiped away a tear.

"It's fine," she said returning her focus to the patient. "I guess...I really didn't expect anything less."

"How's he doing?" Carla asked as Maggie finished checking Stockwell's blood pressure.

"It's coming up albeit slowly but it's getting higher and that's the most important thing," Maggie said meeting all three sets of eyes. "I really am sorry for what I did."

"We can discuss it later," Face said getting to his feet. "We should go check and make sure Hannibal and your husband don't kill each other."

"That would probably be a good idea," Maggie said sullenly.

"Is it safe to leave him?" Face asked looking down at his father who was still unconscious.

"We'll stay with him," Ellen said looking at her sister. "I'll come get you right away if there's any changes."

"Yes," Maggie said with a slight nod. "I think for the moment at least, he'll be fine."

Face walked Maggie down stairs to find BA playing a game of checkers with a boy around the age of ten who ran into the doctor's arms. "Face," Maggie said with a slight smile. "This is my son Ian."

"Hello, Ian," Face said putting out his hand for the boy to shake. With Maggie's hair color and eyes, it was easy to see how handsome the boy would eventually become. "Nice looking boy, Doc."

"Thank you," Maggie said looking at her son. "Where's your father?"

"Him and some guy named, John are walking out back," Ian said before returning to his game.

"Should we?" Face said as Maggie sighed. "I suppose."

"And that's the story, Colonel," Tom said as Hannibal rubbed his forehead. "You have to know, there's nothing between Maggie and I anymore. We've only stayed together for our son and that's the honest truth."

"I appreciate you telling me, Mr. Sullivan," Hannibal said shaking the man's hand as Maggie and Face stepped out the back door.

"Tom," Maggie said as the man wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "You shouldn't have taken a chance to come here. Trigorin is still a threat to you and Ian."

"I couldn't just take Ian and run without letting him see you first, Mags," Tom replied softly. "He needs his mom!"

"And, I need him to be safe," Maggie replied angrily.

"I agree with Maggie," Face said with a sideways glance toward Hannibal. "At least let me set you and Ian up with some security."

"Tom," Maggie said nodding toward Face. "This is Templeton Peck, head of the EIA."

"Mr. Peck," Tom said shaking Face's hand. "I appreciate the offer but I don't want to expose Ian to any more unnecessary risks. This whole experience has been traumatic enough so far."

"He looks like he's handled it well, Mr. Sullivan," Hannibal said with a wiry grin.

"Thanks to his mother's training," Tom replied looking adoringly at Maggie. "We never knew if the government would come take us away so we always had to be prepared for just such an event."

"Take you away?" Face asked looking directly at Maggie. "Why would 'our' government be out to get you?"

"Haven't you ever wondered why I would settle in a small out of the way town like Bad Rock?" Maggie replied meeting his eyes. "Let's just say, I left the CIA on my own terms not theirs and well, they're not very happy about it."

"I could imagine not," Face said with a sigh as he ran a hand though his hair. "I think it's time you filled us in on what happened, Doc."

"And, Murdock's involvement as well," Hannibal said harshly as Maggie nodded.

"I'd like to check on Stockwell first," Maggie replied evenly as Face nodded in agreement. "Then we'll have that discussion I promised you."

"Alright," Face said crossing his arms. "But, it's getting late, I think Tom and Ian should consider staying here tonight."

"Fine with me, Mags," Tom said to Maggie's chagrin. "Besides, it looks like there might be a storm coming in."

"I'll have Carla set them up with a room while you check on my father," Face said with a nod as Maggie agreed. "And, then we'll meet in the family room for that talk."

Maggie was relieved to see that Stockwell's vital signs had vastly improved from the last time she checked. Confident that the General would recover from the neurotoxin, she dialed down the oxygen level and checked his reflexes. "I'm positive, he'll recover," she said looking at Father Magill who sat by the General's side.

"Thank god," he said making the sign of the cross.

"Yes," she said breathing a sigh of relief.

As she headed down to the family room, Maggie believed Stockwell's recovery was imperative if she was to have any future with Hannibal and keep Face's trust. The Colonel's eyes seemed to bore into her very soul as she stepped timidly into the family room. "Hunt's doing much better," she announced to the family members assembled in the room. "I feel confident he'll make a complete recovery."

There were murmurs of relief from everyone before Maggie spoke again but this time it was directly to Hannibal. "Before I tell you everything, I want you to know that I'm not asking for forgiveness because forgiveness starts with myself and I cant forgive what I did so how can I expect any of you to forgive me. But, I did what I did to save my family, nothing more than you would have done if it had been Face, Murdock or BA."

"We could have helped! You should have trusted us and you should have confided in me, MO," Hannibal said angrily. "I don't think, I know you anymore."

"Maybe, you never did, John!" Maggie spat angrily. "There are things in my past that I didn't want anyone to know, least of all you."

Face couldn't believe the sudden animosity between Hannibal and Maggie and decided he needed to be the voice of reason. "Listen, Doc," he said gently. "I know you did it to protect your family and while I agree with you that anyone of us would have done the same, I really hope that if ever you find yourself in the same situation, you'll come to us first."

"I will," Maggie said quietly. "Promise."

"Good," Face said with a nod. "Now, I think it's time we hear the whole story, don't you?"

Maggie nodded before she looked to where Murdock was seated next to Ellen. "Murdock," Maggie said as he looked up. "I won't be able to do this if you don't agree."

"It's fine," Murdock said squeezing Ellen's hand as he meet her eyes. "I'm sane now."
