No, she says its bigger than that: Its this place.

You never know where you stand with anyone… whether theyll be there for you when you need them.

Said babycouldbe his biological granddaughter or she could not.

I can see why Samar wants out.

Oh no, Im digging in deep chaining my ankle to the metaphorical bed Kaplan-style (too soon?)

and sticking this one out until we get some answers.

And thats how Red and Lizzie find themselves on the hunt for…

GAIA, NO.

And all this, as Red tells Liz, has something to do with finding Agnes.

You remember Agnes… the newborn baby whos been separated from her mother for, like, weeks.

But Kirk swears, Yes, the blood is what I need but its not what I want.

Hmm, kinda seems like you want the blood too though, pal.

But Lizzie thinks she knows how to handle Kirk.

For me to trust him, to care for him.

And because its what he desires the most, its the easiest way to deceive him.

I guess its just some of that not knowing where you stand that Samar says is going around.

NEXT: What the frack is up with this guy?

To that we say: YIKES.

And along that same sentiment, Kirk is getting one of his oft-featured blood transfusions.

To that Ms. McBangs says, We are out of time and we are out of resources.

UH,excuse you.

Though this time hes not at the DMV, hes taking part in his favorite extracurricular: bowling.

You know who else likes bowling?

NEXT: RIGHT???

WRONG: Ayers juststole a nearby helicopterand hes headed straight for the pipeline.

But you know whoreallynever gets enough credit?

So without hesitation, Cooper hits the button for him.

Aram apologizes to Cooper for hesitating and Cooper says, For what?

You did your job and then I did mine.

But all is not as copacetic on the Post Office team as a whole.

And that is finally Arams breaking point: You know when I congratulated you on submitting your transfer request?

As far as Im concerned, you cant go fast enough.

And what I wanted to say is, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So how about some good news?

There is a child.

Her life hangs in the balance; I believe Skylers doctor could save her.

If they can get to Dr. Sebastian Reifler, they can get to Kirk.

But Red is on the case.
