Story Development
Synopsis
Inside Renautas Headquarters, Noah, Quentin, and Taylor are being pursued by guards. Noah asks Taylor what Molly was referring to when she said billions of people would be killed, however Taylor doesn't know. Noah tells them they must find Erica in order to get answers.
In St. Pierre, Quebec, Malina asks Farah why they've come here. Farah needs to see someone before they leave. Malina tells Farah that she knows she's supposed to save the world, but isn't sure how she's supposed to do it. Farah reassures her that when the time comes she will know. Farah hides Malina inside a building and tells her to remain there unnoticed while she meets someone.
Erica watches security video of Ren's followers who have gathered at Renautas and asks why they're here. Harris informs her that they're on "some kind of scavenger hunt". Since Renautas publishes 'Evernow, they're taking photos of themselves on the campus. Upon seeing that the girls are all dressed as Katana Girl, Erica surmises that this is a trick by Miko in order to gain entry undetected and recover her sword. Erica orders Harris to take the sword to her house for safe keeping. Erica complains that with E.P.I.C global tracking offline they are falling behind schedule. Harris reminds her that local tracking via the eyewear does still work and that their agents are already using them. In order to handle the mob of Evernow fans, Harris suggests they might just have them all arrested for trespassing. Erica points out that these people are customers of theirs, and as every one of them has a cell phone, video of it will immediately go viral if they do anything about the mob. She tells Harris to send one of himself to find Miko. Harris takes out scissors and cuts off one of his fingers which begins to grow into a clone. His clone approaches the gate to the campus where a guard is barely able to hold the mob back. Harris informs the guard to let them through.
At the ATF Evo Division, Tommy is being booked and documented. A medical technician injects a tracking device into Tommy's wrist. He informs Tommy that he has an allowed radius of travel and if he exceeds it the response time is 10 minutes. When he asks who responds, the technician tells him he won't want to find out.
In Los Angeles, Carlos returns to the garage. He calls out for Jose, but there is no response. He notices signs that something is wrong and finds the El Vengador mask inside a car.
Still inside Renautas, Noah, Quentin, and Taylor come across a large seed bank. Noah remarks that it's the kind of bank one would construct when planning to rebuild after a mass extinction. While they're in hiding several men arrive to transport one of the pods to another location. When Quentin asks where it's being sent to, Noah suggests that Taylor ask her mother.
Luke pulls up to his home and cautiously enters. Getting no answer after calling out for Joanne, he heads into the kitchen and notices a picture of his kid on the refrigerator.
In Quebec, Farah is still waiting for her contact. She dials a number on her cell phone and leaves a message for Caspar informing him that she's been waiting for hours and their contact has not yet arrived. As she's leaving she turns invisible. A Harris clone, in hiding nearby, puts on his eyewear and is able to track Farah despite her being invisible.
At Renautas, one of the Harris clones also puts on his eyewear and scans the visitors that have entered the campus. Ren and Miko notice and surmise he's looking for Miko. Miko realizes that they must know she's here for the sword and Ren suggests that they will likely attempt to trap her. Regardless, Miko is determined to press on and recover the sword so she can save her father.
Luke enters his son's room and looks around emotionally at the reminders of his son.
Agent Cutler interrogates Tommy asking him which of his aliases is his real name and why are he and his mother on the run. Tommy states that "Tommy Clark" is indeed his real name. When Cutler asks Tommy his last name before he was adopted, Tommy becomes confused. Cutler realizes Tommy did not know he was adopted. Tommy denies that he was adopted, however his blood type confirms that he is not the biological son of Anne Clark. Cutler tells Tommy they need to find his biological parents in case they're unregistered evos as well. While he is telling Tommy that his registration and ability is being logged, Tommy teleports out of the office. Cutler makes a phone call ordering the hospital where Tommy's mother is to be locked down. As he opens the door, Caspar is waiting for him. "Penny for your thoughts, Agent Cutler," he says.
Farah returns to the building where Malina is hiding. She tells Malina that her contact never arrived and suspects she's being followed. The Harris clone and another agent arrive and Harris asks where "the baby" is. Farah turns invisible to elude them. Harris, wearing E.P.I.C eyewear, is able to see Farah and places a warning shot right at her feet. Seeing an agent coming up behind Farah, Malina shouts to Farah. Farah disarms the attacker and Malina uses her ability to create a gust of wind blowing Harris and another agent backwards. Farah calls to Malina and they take off running.
Carlos arrives at the police station and asks an officer to see Captain Dearing. When asked why, Carlos accuses Dearing of having kidnapped his nephew and a priest. The officer goes to Dearing and informs him someone is here to see him for information about a kidnapping. Dearing tells the officer he'll be over in a minute. Meanwhile a couple other officers are opening up the E.P.I.C eyewear that's been delivered to the police department. When Dearing overhears one of them mentioning that they can detect evos he becomes concerned. With the eyewear on they discover Dearing is an evo. Realizing he's been discovered, Dearing attacks the officers but is quickly shot with a tranquilizer dart and taken away.
In a Renautas lab workers move one of the seed samples into place in front of some sort of machine. Erica arrives and speaks with Richard ______ who tells her they're about ready to begin. Erica comments that what Richard has accomplished is like the big bang, only not as messy. Richard gives the ok to begin the test. A technician places a gloved hand onto the seed sample and the machine seems to power up. Moments later the sample vanishes and the machine powers back down. Erica complements Richard on his work mentioning that while they've mined all sorts of abilities from evos that this one in particular is the most important. Erica then receives a call from Taylor who apologizes for breaking into Renautas and allowing Molly to kill herself. She asks if Erica will come home so they can talk in person and Erica agrees. Hanging up the phone, Taylor tells Noah and Quentin that she's always been good at pretending to cry.
Miko and Ren follow along with the group visiting Renautas while trying to keep a low profile. Becoming suspicious Harris puts on his eyewear and turns around hoping to detect Miko. Miko however climbs the wall then pulls up Ren in order to remain out of sight. Seeing a picture of Erica, Ren points her out to Miko informing her that it was Erica who took her sword. Miko remarks that she is a powerful foe, but they will not fail.
Tommy teleports home to find an eviction notice being placed on their door. When he confronts the landlord the landlord tells him that he doesn't rent to evos. Tommy protests, however the landlord points out that not being a registered evo is enough for him to evict Tommy and his mother.
Farah and Malina stop a moment to see if they've escaped. When Malina asks who it was that came after them Farah informs her that it was Renautas, a company determined to ensure that Malina does not complete her mission.
Luke watches a video on his laptop of himself and his son building a miniature sailboat. He places a call and asks to see Don as soon as possible.
Harris and his crew catch up to Farah and Malina who take off running again. They run through a warehouse and Malina states that they can't just keep running. She turns and attempts to stop them with her ability, however Phoebe steps up and using her ability is able to deactivate Malina's. Shadowy tendrils project forth from Phoebe and travel towards Malina and Farah. Farah shouts to Malina to run, however Harris shoots Farah in the back before she can get far. Malina helps a Farah limp away, however Farah tells her to just go. She hands Malina an envelope and tells her the answers she needs are inside. Malina runs off and hides on a lumber truck.
