Things go haywire when Xavier finds the President dead one morning and he turns out to be the one who had last seen Cal alive. Authorities swarm him and make him take a polygraph test to know if he is telling the truth or lying. 

The woman taking the test asks him if a part of him is happy that Cal is dead.
