Major Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) dropped by to see Maiya (Montse Viader) who was struggling to learn her new job as a bartender at the Flat Planet Cafe. Suddenly, overcome by pain and weakness, Maiya began to dimensionally "phase" and lose cohesion. Liam was horrified to see that Maiya might not be able to survive outside of her parallel world. Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard) met with Augur (Richard Chevolleau) seeking information about the parallel universe and about her double who existed there -- Maiya's sister Kayla. Lili also wanted background on Isabel Martinez, Maiya's double on Earth who, theoretically, could be Lili's sister. Augur told Lili that since Maiya's presence in their dimension violated the physical laws of the universe, neither Maiya nor Isabel would survive in the same universe unless they "merged."

Agent Ron Sandoval (Von Flores), the dimensional double of Maiya's dead husband Jason, tracked Maiya to the Flat Planet Cafe and ordered Lili to bring her to the Taelon mothership. Liam told Lili to watch out for Maiya while he went to search for Isabel Martinez. Liam traveled to an Inuit village where Isabel, a cultural anthropologist, was meeting with the community's elders. Isabel admitted she has been suffering from mysterious seizures, which Liam explained by telling her about Maiya. Though she was suspicious and afraid, Isabel finally agreed to travel with Liam to meet with Maiya.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen) officially left the Liberation as he publicly launched his bid for U.S. president. Augur bought the underground headquarters to use as his home on the condition that Doors could use it as a stronghold should the need arise.

Liam summoned Augur to met with Isabel and Lili to assist in "merging" Maiya and Isabel. Lili reported that Maiya was on board the mothership and that in her presence, Sandoval's CVI was picking up interference from across dimensions -- Jason's memories of his life with Maiya and the parallel world. The team members realized they must get to Maiya fast. They arranged to accompany Jonathan Doors in the guise of his security contingent as he prepared to discuss his candidacy with the Taelon leader, Zo'or (Anita La Selva), aboard the mothership. Before they began their mission, Lili showed a picture of her father to Isabel, who recognized him as her own father. Lili was forced confront the fact that her father had another life she never knew about.

Liam and Augur planned a diversion on board the mothership to give them time to bring Maiya and Isabel together. Sandoval grilled Maiya about her associations on Earth. Though she was growing weaker, Maiya taunted Sandoval with comparisons to her husband.

The Resistance team arrived on board the mothership with Isabel disguised as a member of Doors' security detail. Doors met with Zo'or who offered to endorse his candidacy if Doors would support the Taelon bio-engineering program. Doors told Zo'or he would never join with the Taelons. Meanwhile, Liam put the diversion plan into action by sabotaging a shuttle in the landing bay, causing it to burst into flames. When Sandoval and Lili responded to the emergency, Liam rushed Isabel to the lab where Maiya awaited. The women, shocked at seeing their identical being, pledged to help each other survive. As they reached out to one another they were consumed in a violent "merging" whirlwind. They both dropped to the floor, neither one showing signs of life.

At the landing bay where the shuttle fire was contained, Zo'or instructed Sandoval to return Doors to Earth. Maiya, now conscious, was the only one to survive the interdimensional merging. As Isabel lay dead, Maiya slipped into her security uniform and joined Doors' entourage as they boarded the shuttle. Sandoval found Isabel's body, and believing her to be Maiya, confronted Liam about her identity. Liam admitted he brought "Maiya" back from another dimension without reporting it to Zo'or. Sandoval accused Liam of gross insubordination and vowed to see him imprisoned. But Liam countered that Da'an (Leni Parker) was fully aware of Maiya's presence, leaving Sandoval fuming.

Jonathan Doors caused irreparable damage to the Taelons when he appeared on television to tell the public that Zo'or tried to buy him off. Doors vowed to uncover all of the Taelons' secret experiments and agendas. As Augur showed Liam and Maiya the conversions he had made to the former Liberation hideout, a grieving Lili entered and confronted Maiya, wanting to know why her sister died while Maiya lived. Maiya told Lili that Isabel's consciousness was inside her, and to prove it, consoled Lili with shared stories about their father.
