She knew it was a long shot when she suggested the search, but it's still disappointing to her that after a solid couple hours of looking for Jim's portal, they've come up with nothing. That could mean any number of things -- more likely than not, there are simply too many portals to sift through.

When she finally walks over to Jim, it is clear by the crestfallen expression on her face that she not found anything substantial. "I need to go home," she says sadly, her gaze turned down in apology. "There are some lab results I have to check on, and I was supposed to help Maggie with dinner. She'll know something's off if Caspar makes up excuses where I've gone..."

She feels terrible. This search was her idea in the first place, she didn't have to drag Jim into it. He has enough on his plate without having to worry about his alternate, too.
