The safehouse is somewhere underground, that's all Sandra really knows. For a moment the realization that there are no windows is frightening, oppressive, but the speed and fluidity with which Noah and Hiro carry out the plan reassure her. The men have been refining this plan since that night in Kirby Plaza, and it's going off without a hitch. Noah makes another call and Hiro disappears again, gone to fetch Mohinder Suresh.

Sandra tries to tell herself her daughter is too young to understand what has been done to her.
