The Purge had been an eventful night, leaving John a little unsettled regarding the way Darrow conducts itself and while he hadn't been particularly worried about the people he cares about, knowing them to be capable of taking care of themselves, it has shifted his attitude regarding their team.
Knowing what he's like, he's still certain he's not meant to be in the role of their leader, and he thinks Karen and Dutch will both accept that. Peggy seems less sure, but he thinks if he has the other two backing him up, he'll be able to avoid that for at least a little while longer. His focus right now is trying to figure out the right way to get back into what they used to do.
And that means finding a way to create something similar to the Machine.
Before he can even begin to consider something like that, however, he needs to tell a few people the whole story of who he is and what he had done in New York. Karen knows everything and Dutch knows more than most, but even she doesn't know about what Finch was capable of or the computer he'd created. It feels like the first step in getting back to what he used to be, telling her the entire truth, and so he's asked her to meet him late one afternoon.
When he sees her, he raises his hand and smiles faintly.
"Coffee or guns?" he asks. "Your choice. I have some things I need to tell you."
