A teenage girl (Julie Watson) barely escapes from the small town of Taelonville, Indiana through an interdimensional (ID) portal. Her twin teenage pursuers, Belle (Reagan Paternak) and Steve Hartley (Max Piersig) are worried that her memory wasn't sufficiently erased before she escaped. Although the twins look like regular teenagers, their glowing eyes suggest they are Taelons. Belle and Steve return to their house and hook themselves up to IVs and electrodes. Meanwhile, Dr. Park (Janet Laine Green) calls Liam (Robert Leeshock) to share her examination results from a Jane Doe patient, the same girl who escaped from Taelonville. She explains that in addition to having amnesia, the teenager's three-month-old fetus was seemingly removed, not by surgery, but by Taelon ID travel technology. Liam shares these findings with Renee (Jayne Heitmeyer) and she probes Zo'or (Anita La Selva) for more information. But Zo'or knows nothing about reviving the human genetic research project, nor the use of ID technology to perform non-invasive surgery. Zo'or orders Sandoval (Von Flores) to find out if a covert operation exists.

Meanwhile, Liam goes to Taelonville to do a little investigating on his own. He enlists the help of the local sheriff, Bob Highland (Andrew Airlie), who explains that the Taelons restored the town after a nuclear meltdown. Highland introduces Liam to Carrie Drake (Jennifer Foster), the proprietor of a local restaurant, and the Hartley twins, none of whom admit to having seen the teenage girl. While Belle and Steve privately lament how Da'an (Leni Parker) abandoned them, Highland praises how the Taelons saved the twins from the radiation poisoning that killed their parents.

Back on the mothership, Sandoval questions Da'an about the use of ID technology and convinces him to share his knowledge before going to Zo'or. Da'an explains his part in saving the town of Silent Falls, now Taelonville, and his attempt to create a Taelon/ human hybrid, which he now feels may help the Taelons triumph in the coming Jaridian invasion. Unconvinced at first, Zo'or finally agrees that the continuation of the project could serve the Taelons' needs.

Meanwhile, Belle and Steve kill Carrie Drake and successfully carry out a plot to frame Liam for her murder. Liam contacts Renee for help. Upon her arrival, she gives Liam a long, deep kiss, transferring to him a lump of gray goo made up of millions of minute programmable robots. Renee leaves and Liam transforms the goo into a lock-pick. He escapes from his cell, tying up the sheriff. Liam meets up with Renee in an alley where she programs the robot goo to seek out traces of ID technology throughout the town.

Meanwhile, Highland frees himself and pursues Liam and Renee with a pack of men. The nanorobot goo discovers Steve and Belle's attic and sends a message to Renee. Renee and Liam enter the house, unaware that they are being watched by one of Highland's men. When they go to the attic they see a maze of melded human and Taelon technology and five artificial Taelon wombs, all but one of which hold Taelon/human infants. Belle cradles a baby and Steve threatens to blast the other infants. Suddenly, Highland and his men burst into the attic and a gun battle erupts. Belle takes the baby and manages to escape through a portal door. Highland arrests Steve and reconciles with Liam. A Taleon ID shuttle arrives and collects the remaining Taelon/human infants.

Later at the Taelon embassy, Sandoval reports to Liam and Da'an that Belle and the baby have not been found. Liam exits the room and Belle appears with the child. Da'an greets them with open arms and Belle pledges her allegiance to the Taelons. Da'an then assures her that he will get Steve released from jail.
