Heh. Boy, I'd like to live in a world where nobody had to go to work the Friday after Thanksgiving....
Somebody has to actually get up and open the store and stand behind the retail counter all day. Lots of somebodies. |

Somebody has to drive the ambulances and run the emergency rooms and man the help desks... Or operate the Stock Market (okay, admittedly not as important as driving an ambulance, but my firm sets up school district and utility district bond deals, among other things). |

Having just re-read this episode, one thing jumps out at me that I don't see mentioned in the comments yet. No matter how determined Reyes is to take gammas alive if possible, I don't think there would have been any chance of doing so with this one even if he hadn't grabbed Nikki. How could you ever keep Frank Scott confined in Idlewood? Or could he be monitored electronically, even if not by the naked eye? How extensive is that "don't look here" spell of his, anyhow?

Difficult, but there's always the old-fashioned chain them to the wall and weld the door shut behind you.....
RFID tagging might work, particularly if you implant it deep enough he can't get it out short of surgery, but the invisibility is so effective you really need to keep the cell door locked permanently.

Two orderlies, one relying exclusively on video observation and reporting to the second orderly where Scott is at all times. A shackle and chain if they're old-school, or a kind of "invisible fence" of the kind used for dogs, that when approached will trigger an embedded shocking device or, better, the release of a strong sedative into a major artery.
For starts.
Idlewood has managed to hold people like Joseph Lawrence Hakes and Clemson McCain, after all.
