2The Real Thing
The town comes together in a final attempt to locate the lost Astraeus.
5Jack of All Trades
Carter drops by the diner and sees Jo canoodling with Zane. They're working on getting back together. Carter and Jo's significant others are still having problems with their matrix relationship.
Warren Hughes (Wallace Shawn) is coming by to interview the Astraeus crew members to make sure they're fit to return to work at GD.
Jo checks with Carter. No more wierdness between them? He assures her there isn't. She leaves."That was weird," he says.
At GD, Fargo orders the Matrix shut down. Zane's restoring the program code to analyze it. Fargo's angry at it for killing Dr. Martin and doesn't care to analyze it. He orders it shut down. Zane ignores him.
At GD, Warren (Wallace Shawn) bear hugs Carter and Allison. He promises to keep his evals as casual as possible. "In case things don't go well, sheriff, I'll need you to handle the redactions," Warren tells Carter.He begins his rounds.
They visit, Dr. Fowler, the Astraeus crew's particle physicist. He applied a virtual breakthrough to his work here. It involves a hunk of meat.He teleports it three feet away, but there are issues. The meat explodes all over Carter.
Warren thinks Fowler rushed his work to impress him and orders him redacted.
For Fargo's review, they go play laser tag -- "recreation therapy."
As they blast away at each other, Warren asks about Fargo's health.
Allison checks out Carter's meat pulverized eardrums.
In laser tag, Fargo narrows his sights on Warren, but suddenly, he seems to be in Carter. Carter draws his gun and blasts away at the lab.
Carter freaks out. He's Fargo.
In laser tag, Carter is in Fargo and is losing at laser tag. Fargo/Carter checks his reflection. "This is my worst nightmare," Carter says.
He stalks Warren, with Carter's aim, zapping away. Warren congratulates him on passing the first phase of his review.
Fargo and Carter confront each other."We've had a kind of neural swap," Carter-as-Fargo says. (For the purposes of this, we'll use the regular character name, just insert the swap for yourself.)
"We were just making out in the infirmary," Fargo says to Allison, to prove it to her.
They realize if Warren finds out, they can kiss their jobs good-bye. Warren comes for phase 2 of Fargo's eval.
Carter visits Henry, suggesting Dr. Fowler's teleporter might have played a role.
Warren does a version of a Rorschach on Fargo, and finds his answers aren't typical of a person with an IQ of 163.Zane interrupts, saying he found something promising about the project they discussed shutting down earlier. Fargo tells him to carry on.
They run a CAT scan on Carter (Fargo), who suggests Allison might have to date him in Fargo's body.
They get a neural spike on the CAT scan and Fargo is back in himself, passing Warren's Rorschach. Warren pronounces him fit for duty.
Allison is happy to have Carter back.
At the diner, Henry says he tested the teleporter and it had nothing to do with this.
They hope the worst is over.
In bed at night, the lights go on in Allison and Jack's place and she suggests they celebrate. Suddenly, Carter is in Zane's body and Jo is in the shower with him.
In Carter's bed, Zane isn't so chivalrous and says nothing to Allison. He thinks it's the weirdest dream ever.
In the shower, Zane resists naked Jo and says he's late for work. He runs out of the shower and calls Carter.They swear each other of the other's woman and make plans to meet at the lab.
Carter nearly gets in an accident when a car tears past him and decides to give chase.
Carter comes to the lab in Zane's body, complaining he feels "bulky."Warren comes for Zane's evaluation with a special activity planned.
Out on the road, Carter pulls over a woman who says she was testing a hybrid turbine engine. He hits on her shamelessly and is sure to give Carter's name often.Henry calls, telling him Zane is with Warren and he has to come in.
At GD, Warren has Zane up a rock climbing wall. Fargo comes to check Zane has his project done. Martha zooms in way too close to comfort. Zane falls off the wall.
Jo comes to GD and learns what's going on. Warren and Zane race by, running from Martha gone haywire.
Warren has an implanted defibrillator and is having issues. Allison resets it.
Zane gives Carter grief for showering with his girlfriend. He tells Carter (Zane) to back off or he'll pound another bacon cheese scone.
Zane (Carter) suggests the accidents might be related to what's going on, the teleporter, Martha and woman in a runaway hybrid.
In the neurology lab, they find Jack has an unusual concentration of high-speed electrical impulses in his brain. The entire crew was sharing Z waves and his brain is acting as a transmitter. They suggest surgery.
Allison says they have to tell Warren what's going on.
Warren says after they fix Carter, they're all redacted.
Jo talks to Carter (Zane) who feels really weird about her being in the shower with Carter's brain. She tells him he doesn't care who he's in. He kisses her. Carter zaps back in himself at that moment, in time for Zane and Allison to come in the room.
Allison preps for surgery on Jack's brain, using high tech gloves and imaging. There's a spike in the part of his brain going nuts. Suddenly, he's in Allison and she has his hands in his brain.
Carter tries to talk Allison through getting out of his brain. He says it's like video game and she imagines Operation, she just has to pull out the probe without touching the sides. She succeeds.Warren watches.
Jo tells Zane it's crazy for him to be jealous of something that never happened. Zane says he's been digging into the programming and what happened in there is based on their own psych profiles, so it's possible. She says part of it was him being dead, so as long as he doesn't make her kill him, they're fine.
Carter gets test results. His brain is acting as an antennae, but each swap is causing damage that could hurt his central nervous system.
Henry reports the other malfunctioning devices were all on the same Z-wave frequency. Allison realizes it could be the same project he's been telling Zane to shut down.Allison takes off.
Zane shows Fargo what he's found, the mainframe has been trying to track the Z waves of the Astraeus crew and there's one still active -- Holly.
Henry and Allison come in and tell them to shut it down.
Jo visits Carter, not knowing he's Allison. She wants things to be normal again and suggests they be honest with each other. Jo says of course she's thought about being with him, why wouldn't she? He's attractive and her best friend."It's not that I want to pursue it, why act like it's never crossed our minds?" she says.She asks if he's ever thought about it. Carter (Allison) says no.
They think Jack's still connected to the mainframe because he was connected wirelessly. Zane points out if they shut down now they might lose all stored data, including Holly. Fargo tells him to do it. Zane pulls the plug.
Allison zaps back into herself but gets an urgent message.She races to find Carter collapsed in the infirmary.
His synapses are misfiring and his EEG is all over the place. Warren suggests they reboot him, like his heart implant does. Henry plans to insert a nanoprobe.Allison sticks her hands back in Carter's brain and delivers a charge.
They all wait for him to regain consciousness. He does.
Warren is impressed with things turning out OK. He's reconsidered his decision to redact the crew -- everyone but Fowler.
Grace (Tembi Locke) tells him she needs to get away alone for awhile.
Allison and Jack go out to dinner and wince when Jo and Zane come in.
Carter tells her he only thought about her and the kids during the brain zapping. He wants to start building memories for forever, starting now. He gets down on one knee, even though he knows it's the wrong place and the wrong time. He slips an onion ring on her finger and proposes.
She says yes.
Jo seems maybe a tiny bit upset, but everyone else celebrates.
6Worst Case Scenario
Sirens and lights go off like crazy, Henry shouts out bad readings. Carter comes in and learns the radar is tracking a missle that's 30 seconds away -- they're under attack, but don't know from who. The shield fails, so Fargo gives the order to shoot the missile down.
They brace for impact, then order Carter to get Fargo to a secure location. In the hall, Ally examines the wounded.Carter checks in with her, they agree to postpone their engagement party.
There's an announcement about power failing and Zane works to fix it. People, smoke and rescuers fill the halls. Another announcement mentions a contamination.
The airlocks come down and the evacuation protocols kick in prematurely -- Fargo's office just dropped 72 floors. Part of the ceiling crashes down on to Larry."Well, Larry, can't save 'em all," Carter says blithely.
He turns to Carter, who calmly announces his leg is broken, although he's unharmed, and Carter has to carry him down the stairs.
It's too much for Carter. He throws his hands in the air and quits.
The disaster simulation ends.
Later, Henry assesses the damage and finds some of it is actually real.
Carter asks about Grace, who still feels responsible for what happened to the Astraeus crew, and she's weirded out that Henry's NPC tried to kill her.
Henry introduces Dr. Michael Clark, a "severe accidental phenomenologist" who designed the scenario with his computer, ADA. With 29 people "dead" and around 300 wounded, their performance is a solid B+.
Jo is short and brusque with Carter when he tries to make small talk about his engagement. She makes an excuse to leave.
Jo goes looking for Fargo, but finds Zane on the way to the gym. He's on a top secret project and isn't sure when he'll be home.
Carter asks Ally if Jo seems tense. They're postponing the tasting at Vincent's because Ally has actual injuries to treat. He wonders if maybe the simulation went too far.
Zane meets Fargo in the lab for his secret project. It involves an adaptive wave form force field, so no one winds up in the wrong body again. Fargo is looking for closure with Holly.
Carter finds Dr. Clark, sharing his concerns that the drill was too real. Clark brushes him off, saying the damage was minor.As Clark opens the door to his office, Carter notices gas seeping out of the wall nearby. The doors open and they get thrown against the wall.
Later, Henry examines the damage, saying a liquid nitrogen valve ruptured during the drill and caused a kind of explosion. Jo is rude to Carter again and everybody notices.
In the mainframe, Zane gives Fargo an earbud to zap him out of the program in case of emergency. Zane's not sure what Fargo will find in there.
Fargo goes in and ends up in a deserted town. He finds Holly with her head down on a bench. She doesn't know they're still in the matrix. She kisses him.Zane yanks Fargo back awake because his heart was racing. Fargo tells Zane he found Holly intact in there, he thinks she's alive.
Carter races after Jo, who tries to ignore him. She found computer evidence that someone opened the liquid nitrogen valve deliberately. She doesn't want his help looking into it.He finally asks what he did.
She can't believe he doesn't know; she shared something personal with him and he humiliated her.He has no idea what she's talking about.
She tells him when it happened and then realizes he really doesn't know what she's talking about. She sees an out and takes it, saying it doesn't matter.
Alarms go off. They races to the power grid controls but nothing's responding. And then it sparks. Power grid failure is eminent."Is is just me, or are we getting a crazy case of déjà vu?" Carter wonders.
Later, Henry says power will be out 8 to 10 hours. Jo finds whoever let the liquid nitrogen out in Clark's lab also used the same code to take down the power grid. She tries to call Zane to ask him to hack it. They realize their PDAs aren't working.
In the matrix, Zane suggests Holly is actually conscious in the machine. Fargo goes back in and Jo finds Zane in there. He doesn't want to tell her what he's up to. Jo gets an alert about a containment breach in the animal area.
Fargo finds Holly back in the matrix making daisy chains. She thinks she's stuck in some sort of computer construct, but doesn't realize how long it's been.
Fargo's about to break it to her when Zane has to zap him back out.
Carter drives to fix the cell antennae. He parks his SUV next to what's supposed to be a 200 meter tall communications tower that's really only 3 meters tall. He gets out to check it out and then notices his SUV sinking. Then he's sinking.
Andy arrives to find Carter up to his armpits in a field. The ground is contaminated with a leaking chemical that's turning the ground into liquid. Andy prepares to toss Carter a wire cable.
Jo follows up on the animal escape alert with a team. She finds a hamster, but there's also a chemical leaking into the air.
Back at GD, Carter suggests everything is happening like the disaster drill, but it's real.Carter tenderly holds an oxygen mask to Jo's face, patting her head. Ally sees him.
Zane reports the user code being used is Dr. Clark's. It doesn't make sense that he'd blow up his own lab. Carter suggests it's his computer ADA running things. She's offline but could have set up the simulation before. So this time if they fail, they really die.
Jo asks Ally if Carter's OK after the brain swapping. Jo mentions that Carter's brain was occupied by other people, too. Ally looks like she's about to confess, but she's called away to treat someone.
Henry and Carter confer with Dr. Clark, who's kind of impressed with his malfunctioning program.
Suddenly, the shield starts to fail and a missile is launched. They can't arm themselves and Henry points out no one just has an electromagnetic shield laying around. Zane pipes up. He just happens to have one handy from his work with Fargo.
In the middle of the evacuation, Ally tries again to talk to Jo, but she says it can wait.
Henry relays coordinates for Carter to set up the shield in a field. Even if it's in the right place, they'll only have a few seconds before it degrades.
The missile parts start to fall from the sky and Fargo activates the shield. It works just long enough to absorb the missile.
Disaster averted.
Ally goes to visit Jo and confesses what Jo already knows, that Ally was in Carter's body when Jo confessed her feelings for him. Ally knows she should have said more then. She says seeing her with Carter in the matrix was really hard and so when Jo confessed her feelings, Ally panicked. She apologizes again.
Henry gets a call from Grace, who says she misses her.
At Vincent's, Fargo tells Jo that Zane is helping him, but he won't say more.
Carter and Ally sample food for their party. Jo gets up and makes a toast to her "very best friend" and congratulates him for getting a "highly intelligent" woman to marry him.
Fargo sees all the happy people and heads back to GD.He plugs himself back in and confesses to Holly that he can't pull her out. He tells her she didn't make it. She doesn't feel dead, although "that does explain why I haven't peed in a month," she says.He says he wants to keep seeing her. "So what happens next?" she asks.
7Ex Machina
Fargo is convinced that Holly is still inside of the Matrix computer, but the DOD is determined to wipe its hard drive clean -- losing Dr. Marten forever.
8In Too Deep
In the morning at Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison's house, Fargo (Neil Grayston) is hanging out working on Holly's hologram. She now looks 3-D, although she's disappointed he didn't give her bigger boobs."Fargo, when was the last time you slept, or ate or weren't here?" Ally (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) asks.
He's resolved to do none of those until Holly (Felicia Day) can, too.
Ally can't find her phone anywhere and when she does it shocks her. Carter's did, too. Ally's son Kevin (Trevor Jackson) giggles and wishes them Happy Feynman Day -- it's GD's version of April Fool's, named after Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman.
Ally has plans to spend the day inspecting an underwater lab. Before she leaves, Carter asks about picking a date for their wedding. She lets slip she hasn't actually told her family about it yet.
Carter asks Andy 2.0 (Kavan Smith) to get Fargo to move out.
At GD, Jo (Erica Cerra) dodges pranks. The helicopter spins upside-down on the launch pad. Fowler reports he's missing tiny brachiopods. An invisible barrier was pre-approved, magnetized pants were pre-approved, but she's irritated by the unapproved foam party.
Zane (Niall Matter) tries to convince her to embrace the spontaneity of the day. She's having none of it and announces the next person to pull an unapproved prank is in big trouble. Her outfit turns to pleather and suddenly she's dressed like a dominatrix.
Zane gets notice from Larry (Christopher Jacot) - he's been promoted to head of section five, but he doesn't believe it.
Allison enjoys the silence of the underwater lab. She climbs into the mobile observation lab and the hatches slam shut. The computer doesn't respond. She's trapped in it as it takes off. She's getting angry when Carter pops out of the lower section. He arranged the prank. "I hate surprises, how do you not know that about me?" she complains.
Carter brings her downstairs to show a romantic table and hologram Vincent (Chris Gauthier) hosting their meal. She realizes it took a lot of prep.
Jo sees a floor filling with water she makes an announcement to end all pranks. Zane comes on the PA and overrules her. She's changed back into pleather dominatrix gear.
At home, Andy 2.0 suggests Fargo leave for awhile. He starts to say he might not have long with Holly. She disappears. He orders Sara to find her, but Sara says it's hard to maintain Holly. Holly comes back.
Jo is storming down a hallway when it explodes behind her. She runs to yell at someone.
In the sub, Jack asks Allison how she could not tell her family about them. She doesn't want to talk about it. He turns off virtual Vincent and turns up the lights. "Maybe we should do this another time," he says.
"Maybe we should," Allison says. They both ask the other what they meant. He says lunch. She says that's what she meant, but it sounded like more.
Jack tries to remember how to turn the sub off autopilot when Allison notices a swirl of light coming toward them. It fries the circuits, but it's really not that bad. They brace for impact as it drifts to the lake floor. It lands softly, also not that bad.
Then the sub starts to tip down into a crevasse. The automatic safety shields drop. She tells him the lab wasn't meant to withstand any more depth. Jack suggests launching torpedoes to propel them backward, Ally comes up with launching probes to try to shoot back to solid ground, the same concept.
Up in GD, Jo yells at Zane for undermining her authority. He denies he has anything to do with the explosion. She shows him the log of all the accidents. He sees they're all water-related. He demonstrates a reaction that could happen if water mixes with a chemical. Not good.
Jo hears dripping and opens a wall panel. Henry confirms Lake Archimedes is the source of the water; it has the same concentration of tiny brachiopods like the one's Fowler lost.
In the sub, Carter and Allison argue as she tries to rig it. Carter insists it was his idea.
"Yes, Jack, you are the genius," she says.
He decides that's why she hasn't told her family, she's embarrassed he's not a genius, but she says that has nothing to do with it. They're still arguing when the sub starts tipping. They slide down the trench.
They land safely at the bottom. Jack says Jo will come save them. Allison gets huffy about Jo.
Carter can't believe she's still hung up on Jo and points out it was a fake relationship between a fake her and fake him in a fake computer world.
Allison says it's not about Jo or their IQs. She worries what happens if things don't work out, there's no going back to how things used to be.
Jo confronts Fowler, who's been trying to transfer a sample of salt water from Lake Archimedes all day. It appears to have transferred, but it's not in his lab where it's supposed to be. Jo tells him to turn off the machine, then she goes to Zane and tells him to call off the pranks.
They notice a piece of the sub's guidance system in the ceiling, transferred there by Fowler. Jo calls Fargo at home to come in on search and rescue.
In the lab, they've completed sweeps for the sub but don't find it. They figure they fell into the mile deep trench. Carter and Allison have nine hours of air left.
Down in the sub, virtual Vincent won't shut up. Carter bangs on the remote, irritating Allison even more.
The welds start shooting off the sub as the pressure builds. They make it into the upper compartment and slam the hatch shut as the compartment below floods and is crushed. The airtight lock leaks.
Virtual Vincent comes back on to suggest a dessert wine. Carter asks what goes with a watery grave and Vincent replies he'd have to check the database.
Carter throws the remote as he realizes Vincent must be connected to something. Ally works to fix it.
Up in the lab, Virtual Vincent pops up, announcing 'Mayday!' and that they got "vortexed or something." Henry (Joe Morton) realizes it's Jack.
Henry says there's a rescue pod on the way, but with the water quickly filling the sub they have minutes, not hours.
Jo asks Fowler to use his transportation device, but he says there's no way to lock onto them. Jo asks Zane how he locked on to her to change her clothes. He programmed a device to pinpoint her DNA.
They have Jack and Allison's DNA on file. Henry relays the risky plan to Jack, who remembers it relocated a tenderloin into meat dust earlier. He freaks out a little.
"Jack, we have to stop worrying about what might happen and start focusing on what we can do right now!" Allison says. He agrees it's a good idea.
Ally suggests they have to disengage the pod from the lab so that the pod isn't dragged down when the lab is crushed. Jack dives under the water to pull the four release levers. The fourth one sticks.
Ally dives down to help him and together they're able to pull it. The lab floats up.
Henry tells them they're almost ready.
Allison says there's one more thing, and tells Jack she's settled on a date -- right now. Henry leads the ceremony over the remote and pronounces them man and wife as the water fills to the top of the pod.
Zane gets a lock on their DNA and they pop into the lab in a bubble of water.
"May I present Dr. and Mrs. Jack Carter," Henry announces.
Fargo fires Fowler.
Allison thanks Jo for being her maid of honor.
Zane asks Fargo why he's running Section 5 given he's not leadership material. Fargo says he wasn't ready either, but he got the hang of it. Zane asks what's wrong, Fargo says it's about Holly.
The next day, Jo apologizes to Zane for cracking down on Feynman day. He says he understands she was just doing her job.
Zane tells her Fargo gave her a job he can't screw up. Holly is dying again and sustaining her is going to take a breakthrough in computer programming only he can do. Jo zaps him into a suit as he heads in to work.
Back home, Andy offers to take the kids to school. Fargo plans to head back to work. Holly offers to go into sleep mode. Allison and Carter tell them all to stay put, they're used to the chaos.
9Smarter Carter
Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) bask in post-nuptial glow. Just a few DOD forms and it's legit. Ally's brother Marcus (Dondre Whitfield) is coming to town, but Kevin (Trevor Jackson) warns Carter he's prejudiced."Against white people?""No, against dumb people."
In the GD lab, Zane (Niall Matter) tries out his computer patch to stabilize Holly (Felicia Day). It works, but Holly can't leave the house yet.
Holly pops up on Zane in the bathroom, pleading with him to get her out of there.
Kevin drops by the station to rehearse a project for Carter, bearing maple bars and coffee.
Zane and Henry (Joe Morton) craft a mad scientist plan to get Holly out of the house. They enlist Jo (Erica Cerra) to keep it from Fargo (Neil Grayston) for now because he's being overly cautious.
After the fourth time through his presentation, Carter assures Kevin he's got it down.They hear a noise and crash outside.
Carter runs out and finds a pair of robot legs running around. He prepares to tackle them like Brian Urlacher. The legs jump in a tree and get Carter in a choke hold around the neck. And that's when Marcus shows up.
With the legs in jail, Carter announces they take "restless leg syndrome to a whole new level.""But they could not outrun the long arm of the brother-in-law," Marcus says.
They bond over puns. But quickly Marcus is citing the number of PhDs in their family.
Ally takes Marcus for a GD tour.
In Henry's garage lab, Zane powers up Holly. Jo brings in the robot legs, but Zane's moved past them to biological fabrication.
Jo gets a message about the missing equipment Zane is requisitioning.
At GD, Marcus is surprised because they didn't even know Allison was dating. He worries Ally has nothing in common with Jack.
Jo checks with Dr. Parrish (Wil Wheaton) about the conference he's coming from. "If I see another diversionary devices demonstration, I'm going to flash bang myself." (Get it?)Parrish is keeping a running tab of Zane's infractions and wants to take them to Fargo. Jo intercepts.
At dinner, Kevin tries to build up Carter but Marcus makes small digs at him. Then Carter quotes some of Marcus' article back at him, using big words. Carter pulls Jack into the kitchen, busting him for prepping him with the guise of a presentation.
Ally finds Carter up in the morning, drinking coffee, having not slept. He's reading Marcus' book and Ally's.Ally heads to work and Carter checks his experiment in the oven.
In the station, Andy (Kavan Smith) comes in to see Carter finishing memorizing the penal codes, still guzzing coffee. He lets Andy know he can be reassigned, he's got it covered.
At GD, Parrish tells Jo she can't be impartial because she's back with Zane. Jo confides Zane's promotion is making her life harder. If they work together, maybe they can get Fargo to take it away.
In Henry's lab, they have an organic dummy ready to impart a consciousness to. They only get one shot with Holly so they test first.The test consciousness fries the body, melting the face.
At GD, Jo tries to come up with another way to stall, flirting with Parrish and saying his magnetism was distracting her during their interviews, so they have to do them again.
Marcus does his book signing at Carpe Diem. Carter interrupts with a few questions, dissecting Marcus's theories and saying he's found a glaring error.
Marcus tries to stare him down, but Carter says he can prove it. Carter takes him outside and shows him a processor he built in Marcus' car based on his design. Marcus thinks his design is sound. He fires up his car. It makes a bad noise.
They run for cover as the car overheats and the hood blows off. "Tough break, Collins! Science is fun!" Carter crows.
Carter cites the theory Marcus should have followed and suggests some solutions. Ally is concerned, but Marcus just wants to hear Carter's ideas.
Ally finds Carter in the station, where he's manic and in need of a super computer. Ally wants to run tests, but Carter wants a super computer to run his tests. Andy volunteers himself.
Ally is concerned Carter is willing to risk his friend.
At GD, Kevin tells his mom there's something wrong with Jack. She knows. There's something weird about the coffee he's been drinking. Kevin confesses he gave him a cognitive enhancement drug, but the effects weren't supposed to last this long. Something in the coffee is enhancing it.
In the lab, Carter works on Andy's circuits, condescending to Marcus at every opportunity. Marcus thinks it's 15 years ahead of his research. Andy's excited to try out his new brain, which uses a lot of power.
Ally calls Carter to tell him he's been dosed. He isn't paying attention. Andy slips away.
The power goes out in GD.
In Henry's lab, they can't figure out how to get Holly into the dummy without frying it. Parrish busts in.
Jo finds Andy at the power grid pulling power lines and wanting to recharge himself. Jo says his heat signature is through the roof. He's putting the town at risk. He sucks electricity from Jo's car, electrocuting her, and drives off.
At GD, Marcus marvels at Carter's computations. Ally wants to reverse the effects, but Carter thinks they're awesome. He's enjoying fitting in and not being the "dumb old sheriff."
In the garage, Fargo busts in, having been tipped off by Parrish.
Ally reports Andy is run amuck, but Carter doesn't see the "human" side. He's only concerned with the processor.
Fargo puts a halt to Zane and Henry's research, but Holly tells Fargo living in the house isn't a life she wants.
At GD, they try to get Carter to focus on the blackouts. Carter calculates Andy has 21 minutes left before he fries.
Jo and Zane respond to Vincent's 911 call at Carpe Diem, but nearly get run over by Andy speeding off. He took the freezer cell.
They try to figure out where power hungry Andy would go next.
Cut to Andy unhooking his girlfriend Sara the smart house to drain her power.Allison interrupts, trying to reason with him. Jo joins them with a gun, but neither has any effect. Sara zaps him. Jo pins him down. He listens to Ally and asks for help.
In the lab, Carter works on removing Andy's processor. He's back to normal and leaves to apologize to Sara.Marcus is bummed at the chance to not study him more.
Carter insists to Ally he's better than he was. She thinks he's missing his best part: his heart.
Fargo goes looking for Holly in Henry's lab. He apologizes for losing sight of what she wanted. He's on board trying to make Zane and Henry's plan work.
In the lab, Marcus, Ally and Carter work to zap away his smarts. Carter's sure it'll work, he's a genius.Ally zaps him. Carter wakes up feeling like his old self.
Back at the house, Carter apologizes to Andy.
With Marcus, Kevin and Andy looking on, Ally and Carter sign their official marriage documents. Marcus also signs as a witness. Andy, (with SARAH's help), says Carter can now "kiss the bride".
10The Honeymooners
Jack drives Allison away for their surprise destination honeymoon. Instead of heading to the airport, he takes her to a cottage in the woods. It used to belong to Sheriff Cobb and he got it with the job.
Allison is clearly disappointed. Jack's been fixing it up and wants her to pick the details. He presents her with her own tool belt. She realizes he put a lot of thought into it. He's resolved to put down roots.He takes rings out of the tool belt.
At GD, Fargo, Henry and Grace oversee the biometric creation of Holly's new body. Grace has come back to oversee the transfer of her consciousness into the body. They only get one shot at it.
In the cabin, Allie tries to see the potential. She thinks it might be easier to start over from scratch. Carter's trying to make the case that it's a gem when his foot goes through the floor. There's a safe underneath.
At GD, Holly is ready for the transfer. They zap Holly's Z waves into the new body.
Grace sees the brain stem is non-responsive. They can't put her back in the computer.They try to figure out what went wrong. Fargo thinks she's gone. He kisses Holly and she sits bolt upright.
Back in the cabin, Andy opens the safe with his laser finger. It's full of old case files. They send them away with Andy.
In the lab, they try to convince Holly to take things slowly with her new body. She leans on Fargo for support.
Back in town, Andy tells Jo that Sheriff Cobb was investigating spies in Eureka. Jo knows they found Beverly Barlowe was the spy, but Andy thinks there could have been more.
In the cabin, Jack and Allie work to stop the leaks. She wants to use a pop up cabana, but he wants to go old school.
Andy and Jo go through the files and find a disc.
In the cabin, Allie and Carter get down to honeymoon business, but no sooner do they get into bed and the roof falls in.
In the lab, Holly is excited all her new body parts work. She tests out her mouth on Fargo's. Holly breaks off, then starts telling Fargo they're trapped in a computer construct and have to get out.
Back in the cabin, in a tent in the living room, it's finally stopped raining. Allie tries to make coffee, but there's no running water. Jack thinks he can unclog the system.
Back at GD, Holly chows down. Fargo tells Zane that Holly doesn't remember her matrix freak out from last night. Zane suggests Fargo bring in some of his things so she'll feel comfortable.
Jo and Andy show Henry the old disc they found. Henry puts it in the computer and they find it's a hologram system.
Fargo comes back with his stuff and finds Holly is gone.
Henry tells Grace about the possible old spy investigation.
Jack tries to unclog the water pump, over Allie's suggestion that they call the GD engineers. He gets it working and she slips into a shower. It's going well until it starts spitting mud on her.
At GD, Fargo and Zane go looking for Holly.
In the lab, Henry pops in the disc for Jo and Andy, who is totally geeked to see who the spy might be.The image pops up fuzzy and Henry tries to sharpen it. Instead, the disc bursts into flames.
Jo comes in to Carpe Diem to find Vincent blabbing to everyone about the old case files.
In the cabin, Jack tries to placate Allie with promises of Vincent's food. But he opens the cooler to find it's full of ants. He tries to cover by suggesting they fish instead. He has to admit the food is ruined.
Allie gets upset, saying he didn't consider what she might want for their honeymoon. She thinks the cabin is unbearable."This isn't our honeymoon, this is a disaster," she says.
He relents and takes out a phone to book a tropical vacation. But when he turns on her phone he finds she has 40 messages about exposing a spy.
Grace sneaks into Henry's lab and grabs the disc. He catches her. Jo joins them. Grace realizes they weren't destroying the data. Jo told Vincent to spread the word to try to encourage whoever it was to finish the job.Henry is heartbroken.
Jack finds Henry in his garage. Henry now thinks the way Grace left down after the Astraeus is suspicious.
Fargo finds Holly cowering in his office. She can't tell what's real and what's not.

Zane examines Holly and tells Fargo the biochemical structure of her brain is breaking down. He says they have to redo the transfer. Holly is paranoid and twitchy and doesn't know who to trust.
Carter tries to talk to her. She hallucinates him trying to kill her and she grabs his gun.Fargo steps in front of it and is able to get it back from her.
They prepare her for the redo of the consciousness transfer. Zane flips the switch and Holly's body convulses through the process. She stabilizes but doesn't wake up.
Henry visits Grace in lock up. He wants answers. She says once upon a time she believed in Beverly's mission to monitor GD, but she quit. She says she had no idea Senator Wen was working with Beverly. He wants to know who else was involved and asks who she's protecting.
She says she's protecting him, he introduced her to Beverly. "We both shared classified information together, you taught me everything I know," she tells him.
Fargo wakes up in the lab and finds Holly back to her old self.
Allie comes out to the cabin to find Jack working on it. Compared to what the other couples are going through, the cabin doesn't seem so bad. She appreciates his effort.
He has a surprise for her -- he's installing a solar heated shower.He promises their next trip will be Fiji.
11Mirror, Mirror
Everyone is acting suspicious after Grace (Tembi Locke) was outed as a spy.
At GD, Fargo (Neil Grayston) walks Holly (Felicia Day) through becoming undead officially.She tries to decide what she wants to do. Zane (Niall Matter) offers her his lab.
Jo (Erica Cerra) is trying to avoid letting word of Grace's arrest become known higher up the chain. But then Major William Shaw (Roger R. Cross) shows up. He informs them the Justice Department will be taking over and they're taking custody of Grace. Jo is busted for not telling him immediately. Shaw resolves to find anyone else involved.
In his garage, Henry (Joe Morton) fires up the old data drive found in the cabin safe. It's a report from him, saying they should focus on a project in section 5 and he's made contact with Senator Wen.
Carter (Colin Ferguson), Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) and Jo head to an experiment on "smart dust" to work against global warming. It's like a gazillion tiny versions of a car shade to protect the ozone.They have smart fog in the air being contained by a plasma field. They can control everything about it, including the reflectivity so the particles look like a mirror. They're going to spray them. Cut to Fargo overhead in a biplane.
Zane shows Holly around his lab then steps out. The computer suggests research opportunities. She has one message in her inbox. The computer plays it. It's a series of images and flashing lights. Holly is momentarily mesmerized.
Zane comes back having seen a surge on his PDA. Holly is creepy and zoned out. She tells him she didn't see anything.
Out in the test field, Fargo prepares to swoop over in the biplane. Carter wonders whether something is going to blow up or if he'll get covered in goo, the two likeliest scenarios.
Fargo releases the dust trail. They're contained by the particle field. Allie checks reflectivity and sees everything is working perfectly.
In the lab, Holly shows the hypno-email to Andy (Kavan Smith), who is also mesmerized.
Carter and Allie return to the station to find Henry waiting for them. He tells them he's there to surrender himself to local law enforcement and GD security. He tells them he's the second spy. He coordinated everything and recruited Senator Wen. He takes full responsibility.
Carter is concerned until Henry tells them it was the other Henry from before they went back to 1947. Carter thinks that lets him off the hook. Henry says if they punish Grace, they have to punish him.
Carter suggests he talk to Grace before doing anything else.
Back at GD, Holly gets Fargo to sign for a bunch of supplies for the bioprinting lab -- not her area of expertise. She wants to work on the technology that saved her.
Shaw calls Jo to give the OK for Henry to talk to Grace. On the road back to GD, her phone fuzzes out. They notice a car coming straight toward them. Both cars swerve and then come to a stop inches apart. Carter and Jo end up facing exact mirror images of each other.The smart dust doesn't seem so smart anymore.
Carter and Fargo go back to the smart dust control unit and find it ripped out. Fargo explains the dust could eventually affect all systems, from independent thought to bladder control.
Grace tries to convince Henry not to turn himself in. She was already having doubts about Beverly and her group before he came back. "You made me a better person, so if you're looking to take responsibility for something, take responsibility for that," Grace says.
At the experiment field, Andy reports the disruption is getting worse. Fargo is trying to make a new control panel, but the last one took years to make. Andy suggests it was sabotage. He has a list of 272 suspects he suggests Carter check out.
Back at the lab, Allie thinks they have about 12 hours until they start seeing effects of the dust. Fargo asks Allie to check out Holly. He's worried she's overdoing it.
Jo asks Zane to get her a list of the evidence Shaw is taking about Grace. But he says no. He doesn't want to get her hands dirty.
Allie goes to check on Holly and finds the bioprinter at work on a new body. It's 47% done.
Holly finds Allie checking out her research. Allie worries Holly is doing research more advanced than she should be doing. She shouldn't be fooling around with bio imprinting. Holly reminds her the boss, her boyfriend, said it was OK. She kicks Allie out.
Back at the experiment field, Fargo tries to get the smart dust to coalesce, but it doesn't work. The missing control unit uses the same wave lengths and is interfering. Carter remembers having the same problem once with a garage door opener. Andy shoots down the idea. He suggests more suspects for them to interview.
Alie finds Henry sitting gloomily at Carpe Diem. He mentions Holly asked him to come by to help with her research. Allie wonders how he would go about Holly's research. He suggests computer models, not bioprinting a body as Holly is doing. He thinks that sounds wacky.
Jo joins Shaw and sees him packing up the evidence. He's trying to get it out before the smart dust gets to it. She offers to help him go over it, but he tells her it's all classified.
Zane shows Allie fragments of the hypno-email he found on the computer. He slows it down and shows a ghost hand reaching out. He tells Allie about finding it on his lab computer on an email addressed to Holly. Zane doesn't believe she didn't see the surge he asked about.
The patterns of the hypno-email could act as a neuro trigger on her new photon brain. The patterns are too complex to be an accident.
Carter reports to Fargo the smart car system went down but nothing else so far. Fargo can't get his control panel fix to work. Carter mentions his garage door idea.
Fargo says it would work, contradicting Andy saying it would break various laws of physics.
Henry walks in a daze past Allie. He went to Holly's lab and says everything is fine. He tells Jo he had the bioprinter moved off site for "maintenance" so Holly won't have more access to it. He wanders off.
Carter tells Allie that Andy is acting weird and asks if the dust could be affecting him. Allie thinks there's something more than the dust making things wacky.
Jo goes back to Zane asking for his help. He's cool and confident and tells her without saying it he already removed all mentions of Henry from the evidence Shaw is packing up.Jo sees the hypno-email playing on his computer. She recognizes it from when Holly was trapped in the matrix. Carter calls asking her to come meet him.
Jo heads out to the forest looking for him. She runs into a patch of reflective smart dust, it's everywhere. It's like mirrors suspended in the air. She stops to look at herself in one and marvels at how creepy it is to be looking at herself.
Then mirror Jo grabs real Jo around the neck and whacks her. It's not a mirror. She yells for Carter but Andy comes out, mimicking Carter's voice. He's not there to help.
Fake Jo sits in Fargo's office as he makes excuses to Shaw for why the files were corrupted.
Zane shows Allie the email, which looks like someone trying to get out.Zane can't find a point of origin for the email. Allie looks at the readings and sees Z waves. Someone else could have been in the matrix.
Allie wonders if someone is controlling the smart dust so they can't communicate with each other. She tries to call Carter, but is interrupted by Shaw coming in to arrest Zane. Jo does it for him.
Carter follows the control panel tracker (Fargo's version of his garage door opener idea) to a warehouse and finds computers set up. But he can't get through to anyone to tell them what he found.
He looks around the warehouse and sees the bioprinter at work on another body. He watches as the face takes shape. It's him.
He finds Jo and Henry unconscious on stretchers. He's trying to wake them up when he hears Holly behind him.
Holly, Henry, Jo and Andy fakes are all staring him down. Holly zaps him unconscious. "Now we're even," she says.

She watches Carter and Andy be way too interested in Dr. Tuckman as he gets coffee and gets in his car.
At GD, Jo brings Henry to talk to Grace in lock-up. She tells him if he says he helped her, she'll deny it. He says they have nothing to hold her on, which is why he's helping her escape. He punches a code to open the lock-up and tells her, ominously, that he'll never let her go.
Carter and Andy pull over Dr. Tuckman, a member of the Astraeus crew. They want him to come with them. "Back where you belong," Andy says. Carter puts him in the back of his cruiser.
At GD, Shaw interrogates Zane as Jo stands on Shaw's side. Zane points out they don't have enough evidence to arrest him. Shaw gets word Grace just escaped. Zane has a pretty airtight alibi.
Zane thinks Jo is acting weird.
At GD, Ally tells Fargo that people are acting weird, like they're brainwashed. Fargo hasn't heard that Carter found the control panel. And he didn't authorize the move of the bioprinter, contrary to what Henry said. He also didn't give Holly permission to start printing body blanks.
Ally tells Fargo about the other Z waves they found in the mainframe. Ally suggests the program told Holly what to do through the energy pulse. She wonders if the hands and whoever they belonged to in the computer that she and Zane saw got out.
At the abandoned warehouse, Henry reports virtual Eureka is back on-line and this time they won't get out. "When we get the rest of them, I think I'm going to like it out here," Evil Carter says.
Ally and Fargo check the DNA profiles printed onto the bodies, including Jo and Henry and a dozen others. Zane finds them. Carter's DNA is among them.
Carter follows Dr. Yu and tells her he needs her expertise.
Fargo, Ally and Zane try to figure out who to call. Fargo decides to go talk to Shaw because they don't have his DNA so he couldn't be fake. But he dismisses Fargo and Jo tells him they have a lead on Grace.
Fargo tries to get away from Jo.
Zane tells Dr. Parrish (Wil Wheaton) his theory. They walk into Parrish's lab and come face to face with another Parrish.
The two Parrishes try to convince Zane which one is real and one finally tells Zane he trusts him. Zane shoots him, dematerializing him into goop. The real Parrish wouldn't trust him.
Parrish suggests developing something that just targets the Evil Clones, something like an EMP that fries their brain waves.
Fargo eyes everyone at GD suspiciously.
Holly jumps out and startles him, telling him she doesn't feel like herself any more. "They're making me do things," she says.She confesses to making bodies against her will, then suggests they go a quiet place to talk.
Ally goes home to get her kids to leave town, but Evil Carter is already there. Ally tries to convince him to leave the kids alone and explains to Kevin that he's not feeling well. Sarah the house runs a CT scan on Carter. Moments later, she zaps him. Her scan showed his cells were only one day old. Ally handcuffs him.
She calls Zane, who reports he has an EMP z bomb to test. Ally tells them to meet her at the cabin.
Holly leads Fargo out into the woods, feeling in his pocket. He pulls out the zapper, saying he wanted to trust her. He zaps her.
Ally drives Evil Carter to the cabin. He tells her Real Carter is napping. Evil Carter says when they're back inside the matrix they'll be able to work in safety without real world danger.
Parrish and Zane put the finishing touches on their machine. They're getting ready to leave when there's an announcement that GD is under lockdown.
Ally reaches a road block including Jo and Andy. She speeds up, crashing into the parked cars. The cruiser flips over, but she gets out unharmed. She runs off in the woods.
At GD, Parrish suggests that the NPC think he's Evil Parrish, so he can walk Zane out as his prisoner, just like Han did with Chewie in "Star Wars."Cut to Zane and Parrish under the control of the Clones. It didn't work.
Meanwhile, out in the woods, Carter, Jo and Andy stalk Ally.Carter sneaks up on Ally and she picks up a tree branch and whacks him. She heads to the road and flags down a car -- it's Fargo.
They speed off. Fargo has Holly unconscious in the backseat.
At Cafe Diem, people are getting antsy about people disappearing. Vincent hides people in his freezer, but then immediately tells Andy and Jo where they are.
At the cabin, Ally and Fargo try to figure out what to do without Zane's Z-bomb. They decide that it's possible Zane still has it and where ever he's being held they're using the control panel. So they just have to hook the bomb into the control panel -- as soon as they find out where everyone is being held.
They release Holly back into the wild and follow her and Carter to the warehouse.
Once they get there, Ally goes to find Zane's Z-bomb while Fargo syncs his PDA into the control unit to amplify the pulse.
Ally sneaks around the sleepy bodies and hides from Henry. She's completely freaked out when she sees they have dozens and dozens of people knocked out on stretchers.She finds Jack and unhooks him from whatever is sedating him, but he doesn't wake up.
Fargo syncs his PDA but it starts beeping and they chase him.
Fargo runs outside, drawing all the guards away. He runs into Evil Everyone. "You know what they say, 'Resistance is futile,'" Holly tells him.
The sync with the control panel finishes and Fargo uses it to turn the smart dust to night time. Flipping on the night vision on his glasses, he slips away.
Inside, Ally finds Zane and the Z-bomb. She's about to turn it on when a young girl finds her and starts calling her Mommy. It's an older Jenna.
She reminds herself Jenna's not real. While Ally's distracted, Carter sneaks up on Ally and grabs her.
Out in the woods at fake night time, Fargo runs into Andy. They switch the smart dust back to day time.
In the warehouse, Evil Carter hooks Ally up to the bed to knock her out. Real Jack finds them and rescues her, knocking out Evil Carter.
Ally and Carter run and she picks up the Z-bomb where it fell. They escape the warehouse.
Without the control panel they need another way to amplify the signal, Ally suggests the satellite dish at the cabin. They run as Evil Carter and the NPCs follow them.
At the cabin, Real Carter tries to barricade Evil Carter out, but he breaks through the ceiling. He drops down and pulls a gun.
Ally creeps around behind him and bashes him on the head. She climbs up to the dish on the roof as Carter fends off himself.
A horde of NPC evil clones races toward the cabin. Ally works to wire the Z bomb into the satellite. As the Evil Clones break through the cabin windows, Evil Carter gets Real Carter in a choke hold.
Ally finishes wiring the Z bomb and activates it. All the Evil Clones drop.
Back at GD, they put the NPC clones in deep freeze. There are ethical considerations to how they deal with them.
Holly is still comatose after two weeks. They get a 911 text about her.She wakes up.
She doesn't recognize Fargo or any of them. It's like a computer crashing and her hard drive is wiped.
At Cafe Diem, Carter and Ally try to figure out where they might move to. "At a certain point we have to ask ourselves if the universe is trying to tell us something," Carter says.
Shaw comes looking for Fargo."Is there a problem?" Jo asks."Isn't there always?" says Shaw.
He has news from the DOD. The department appreciates the work that's been done, but given the security breaches, they're terminating funding of Global Dynamics. "We're shutting Eureka down," he says.
More military trucks roll in to town.
