Plot[]
This episode begins with fragments of the past, as they materialize into view along with the familiar image of the little girl blowing bubbles. As the scene changes, an army marches and a woman burns at the stake, eventually settling on Marilyn Monroe having sex, which Stewart ends up watching. As Katie arrives, she tells him to start acting responsibility, which garners an incredulous reply from him.
Meanwhile the Senator arrives at the facility with a helicopter to greet Forest, where they talk together about what he’s working on. Forest is cagey, simply telling her it’s a “Prediction Algorithm” and leaving it at that.
Lily returns to work but following Sergei’s suicide she’s admittedly shaken. Lianne talks with her outside and its here Lily mentions her suspicions and how she believes the video of his death was faked. Jen arrives soon after, cutting their conversation short. She goes along with Lily’s ideas and as Lianne takes her aside, Jen admits that Lily has had schizophrenic episodes in the past.
She agrees to take Lily to see Kenton and as she talks about patterns, Jen looks at her like she’s crazy, prompting Lily to rush out the room. Unfortunately her episode sends her across the ledge precariously while Forest shows the Senator around outside. As he sees her on the edge, he radios through and tells Kenton to get her safely down.
Kenton stands with Lily on the balcony and tells her he believes she may be right in regards to the Russians. He talks her out of jumping and in doing so the Senator leaves with the helicopter. As Lily and Jen drive away, the former smiles which leads to be a stunt that had been Lily’s plan all along; distracting Kenton while Jen sneaks into the office and gets what she needs.
Meanwhile, Forest catches up with Kenton and he tells her they have an ace card in Lily – anything she says about their industry will come back on her given no one will believe her thanks to her previous episodes of schizophrenia.
Lily returns to Jamie and tells him she needs his help in deciphering the 24 hours worth of footage Jen managed to snatch from Kenton’s office. As he echoes back what she’s asking of him, they agree that it’s weird but eventually do sit down together and watch the footage. Staring intently, Jamie notice that the flames are exactly the same in every shot. Only this means its been enhanced with a fire effect and Sergei did not die from a fire, nor did he set himself alight. As she stares at the footage, Lily realizes that Sergei has definitely been murdered.
As we cut back in time to that fateful night, we see a scene played out in reverse as Kenton and the others pour petrol on the lifeless body of Sergei and pick him up to carry him away.
