Meanwhile, Natasha is trying to stop her family from being deported back to Jamaica at the end of the day. He has a few hours of free time, so he walks up to a church in a half-mocking, half-curious attempt to take the conductor's advice, but the church's doors are locked. The conductor preaches a mini-sermon over the speakers about finding God, and Daniel leaves the train rolling his eyes. At his mom's insistence, he hops on a train to get a pre-interview haircut.
