The National Guard arrived to pick up Rachel's coffin, but were unsure as to what to do because the graveyard was still flooded. Sheridan stalled the Child Protective Services and asked for a final few moments together with Mark before they take him away. Alistair announced he'd be going home — with a reluctant Katherine. In a surprising moment of compassion, Pilar pulled Katherine aside and expressed apologies and condolences for how Alistair has been mistreating and abusing her. Pilar said while she wouldn’t be able to forgive Katherine for what she did in running away with Martin, she at least now has some understanding for why she did what she did. Pilar also expressed her admiration for the sacrifices Katherine has made for Sheridan. The National Guard finally sealed Rachel's coffin and removed it. Afterward, Sheridan reluctantly gave Mark to the Child Protective Services agent as Gwen comforted her.
