Cody was still fending off Michael while holding Claire on her chair and she felt absolutely ridiculous. That wasn't important though; she needed to get this gag out to say the reversal words!
She tried telling him she had something to say by being as loud as possible but his hands were full holding the chair. He wouldn't be able to help her until he had a chance to put her down.
This was driving her crazy! She could stop all of this if not for the stupid gag.
Claire had been trying to get it out on her own as best she could—it was a real tongue workout and not the slightest bit comfortable—but she wasn't having much luck. She didn't manage to accomplish it for another five or so minutes of them fending off the rather dazed brainwash victims.
For some reason Three was watching rather than actively participating. She couldn't fathom what went on in that man's head.
