In the wake of the attempt on his life, the American Companion Da'an (Leni Parker) met with the Taelon Council to commend William Boone (Kevin Kilner) for saving him from assassination and to appoint Boone Commander of Security and Interspecies Relations. Announcing the news at a press conference, Boone and Da'an promise to undo Earth's growing resistance to the Taelon presence.

The eccentric techno-genius Augur (Richard Chevolleau), an acquaintance of Boone's from his cop days, watched the televised proceedings at the Flat Planet Café. Installed in his new office with the help of FBI Agent Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores), Boone was careful to conceal the fact that his Cyber-Viral Implant (CVI) had been modified by the Resistance, making him unlike the true Implant that Sandoval represents. With his new mental powers, Boone was able to relive every detail of his life with Kate, which increased his determination to solve her murder, even if it jeopardized his new position in the Taelon inner circle.

By searching through his memories of his wife's last day, Boone was able to recall a suspicious car tailing Kate. Despite warnings from Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard) to abandon his search, Boone went to Augur's computer junkyard lair, where he entreated the notorious hacker to help him find the killer. Augur broke through security files to uncover the name of Judson Corr (Michael Filipowich), a known professional assassin. Boone confronted Corr at his condominium, but the hitman's sophisticated defenses allowed him to escape.

As Da'an became suspicious of Boone's obsessive behavior, Boone had to convince the Companion that catching Kate's murderer would serve the greater cause of protecting the Taelons. Resistance leader Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen), also worried about Boone's vendetta, wondered if he would have to kill him. To make matters worse, Agent Sandoval was tracking Boone, ready to destroy him if he compromised Taelon security.

At Augur's hideout, when Corr showed up to eliminate the computer trace that revealed his identity, he found himself face to face with Boone. Sandoval and Marquette arrived in the middle of a wild shootout, which ended when Sandoval blasted Corr with his skrill. Putting two and two together, Boone accused Sandoval of Kate's murder, which the agent freely admitted to. He said he did it to ensure Boone's allegiance to the Taelons, just as he had to commit his own wife to an asylum to get her out of the way. More than ever before, Boone felt contempt for both sides in the world he must live in -- the Taelons, as well as the equally brutal Resistance.
