Sparrow (Bruce Clayton), a scientific genius confined to a wheelchair, entered into a partnership with Da'an (Leni Parker) to invent new assistive technology for the disabled. Da'an brought Major Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) to Sparrow's company, Artelligent, Inc., to discuss the biosurrogates Sparrow had engineered with genetic information from a Jaridian replicant held by the Taelons. Sparrow planned to transfer his consciousness into a biosurrogate to escape the prison of his body. While the men talked in Sparrow's office, a reporter sneaked into the biosurrogate lab and photographed the inanimate bodies. The light from the flash activated one of the specimens, which grabbed the reporter in a steely grasp.

Alerted to the trouble, Agent Ron Sandoval (Von Flores) arrived at the lab and found the reporter and a guard, both dead. The biosurrogate had escaped wearing the guard's clothes. Sandoval's investigation confirmed that the biosurrogate was indeed alive and programmed with full Jaridian instincts, but was devoid of any consciousness of its own. When Sandoval met with Zo'or (Anita La Selva) and Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard), Lili discovers that Sandoval and Zo'or had been tampering with Da'an's benign research and had programmed the biosurrogates into killing machines. Sandoval returned to Artelligent, Inc. to confer with Liam about capturing the biosurrogate and to inform him of its lethal capabilities.

Liam went to Augur (Richard Chevolleau) who he found with Sparrow. They started a satellite scan to track the missing surrogate on Augur's computer, then headed to the Flat Planet Cafe, where Sparrow got his first glimpse of Maiya (Montse Viader) as she tended the bar. He was transfixed by her beauty as much as she was fascinated by his wheelchair, sparking the beginning of a friendship.

In another part of town, the biosurrogate was in search of food. Entering a diner, he took a police officer's meal. The cop pulled his gun to arrest him, but the biosurrogate calmly took the gun, shot the officer, then returned to the counter to eat his food.

Another cop chased him to a park, but using his Jaridian cloaking device, the biosurrogate disappeared.

President Thompson (Barry Flatman) came on board the Taelon mothership demanding to see Zo'or. He wanted to corroborate their stories since the public would find out that their president had endorsed the biosurrogate project, despite its potential dangers.

Back at Artelligent, Inc., Sparrow was informed that his project had been taken over by the Joint Chiefs of Staff as a military operation. The news was devastating to Sparrow since his consciousness transfer was set for the next day and he wanted Maiya to see him in a new physical form.

Meanwhile, the biosurrogate continued to wreak havoc, killing another police officer. Lili leaked information about both killings to Doors (David Hemblen), who went on national television to inform the American people about the Taelons' and President Thompson's complicity. But in fact, Doors was secretly plotting with Augur to access Sparrow's computer files to use the biosurrogate technology for the Liberation cause. Sparrow, focused on Maiya again, asked Augur for help in completing his "transfer" into a biosurrogate body.

Liam investigated a third murder committed by the biosurrogate. This time, the victim was a teen-age boy. Liam met with Sandoval, who informed him that a second biosurrogate was missing from the lab. Sparrow had transferred his consciousness into the new body, unaware of the full Jaridian weaponry that had been programmed into the biosurrogate. Liam met with Augur, who helped Sparrow with his "transfer," then went to the Flat Planet Cafe, following a hunch that Sparrow would go there to see Maiya. Liam arrived at the cafe and found Sparrow and Maiya together. But the rogue biosurrogate burst into the bar and attacked Liam. It took all of Sparrow's and Liam's alien weaponry to kill the biosurrogate. They finally succeeded, blasting it into a billion particles. But Sparrow didn't survive the encounter, and they discovered that the Taelons had lied and it was impossible to save him.
