Knowing who was in charge in Colorado five years ago and knowing who was in charge that brief moment she'd met McKay - he'd been staring at a colleague of hers - are two different questions and she hesitates a moment too long before she gives an answer that's not really an answer. Choosing to focus on Ianto's statement, she side-eyes John before focusing on his friend.

"I've heard a little bit about different times, and I've been trying to pin down what year it is here," she admits. "It was early 2011 for me and I hadn't been in Colorado since the middle of 2008. I saw McKay a few years before that. He's a funny guy. I heard he was doing something else, but I never got specifics." Not exactly.

She lifts a shoulder in an attempt to be nonchalant. Turning back to John, she asks, "So, how'd you meet him?"
