The Dreaming. Max enters with some groceries. Joshua is busy painting the windows black, and looking sad. Max tries to joke around, but Joshua ignores her. She notices a map on the table with an area outlined in red, and asks him about it. Joshua says that it's Terminal City, an area where there was a biochemical spill. Max says that she's been there, and there's not much to see, but people usually go there when they have nowhere else to go. Joshua says that Alec told him there are other "downstairs people" there, and he wants to go. Max thinks that it's too dangerous, and tries to lighten the discussion by saying that he should forget about Terminal City. Joshua says that everything in the house reminds him of Annie, and The Dreaming isn't his home anymore. Max urges him to hang on, and it'll get better.

Logan starts an Eyes Only bulletin. He gives the usual spiel about how it can't be traced or stopped, and will only last sixty seconds. Logan starts talking about how the transgenics aren't dangerous. Meanwhile, White and his goons are trying to trace the hack, but they don't know if sixty seconds will be enough. Aryan Goon (who I keep thinking will become more important, because he and Otto are the only goons that get any screen time) says that sometimes Logan goes over sixty seconds if he really gets going. Logan concludes the transmission, and the goons are unable to trace it. How come in television and movies, they either complete the trace, or they miss it by only a few seconds? I would love to see a show there they don't complete the trace, and they say, "Wow, we missed that one by a country mile! We would have needed at least five more minutes on that one." White tells Aryan Goon to remind their "Korean friends" that if the technology doesn’t work, they won't get paid. Aryan Goon starts babbling in Korean to the guys sitting at the computers. Otto rushes up with a portfolio containing the results of 453's DNA test.

White tells Max Doppelganger (who is named Sam; we don’t find that out until later, but I'm getting really tired of typing Max Doppelganger) that she's not a true clone, because Max doesn't have any junk DNA, but she does. Sam is wearing this hideous Little House on the Prairie-style skirt. I guess it's better than leather pants. White wants to know where Max is, and Sam claims that she doesn't know, and hasn't had any contact with her. White points out that Max broke her doppelganger out of Manticore. Sam corrects him to say that she was already out, because she was on a deep cover mission for two years. White asks if her husband is just part of her cover. Sam admits that he was at first, but then when Manticore went down, she fell in love and adopted his son. White pretends to be tearing up over the sadness of the story. Sam asks where her husband and son are. White doesn't answer. Sam says that they don't know anything, and White can't believe that she never told them she was built in a lab. Sam begs. White says that they are fine, and she'll see them after she helps him find Max, and he has a lead for her. White explains that Max was admitted to a hospital recently, and he thinks that Max's doctor knows more than he's saying. White wants Sam to find out what the doctor knows, and then find Max. Sam asks about her family. White says that if she pulls this off, the three of them are free to go. Yeah, right. White removes her restraints and comments that he knows that she's thinking she could kill him right now, but she won't, because it might endanger her family. White says that he had family too, before Max took his son away. White gets right in Sam's face and says cheesily that he's really motivated and wants to find Max really badly. He's like Shatner here, with the overacting.
