On the mothership, Zo'or (Anita La Selva) discusses with Ram (Michelle Duquet), the Latin American Companion, his idea to make President Thompson an advisor to the Synod. Ram opposes the plan and leaves to find his Protector, Tonio Arias (Silvio Oliviero). Meanwhile, Tonio is approached by Sandoval (Von Flores), who secretly attaches a microchip to Tonio's skrill. Ram and Tonio enter the ID portal and emergency lights begin flashing. With the exception of Zo'or and Sandoval, the crew on the bridge watches in horror as Ram and his Protector are killed in ID space.

Meanwhile, Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) and Da'an (Leni Parker) wait for artist Hannah Klein (Tamara Gorski), who is going to make a fractal-sculpture of Da'an. Hannah arrives and it's obvious there is a mutual attraction between her and Liam. Da'an suddenly senses a disturbance in the Commonality and Sandoval contacts Liam through his global and informs him of Ram's death. Zo'or later informs T'than (Michelle Nolden) that his ally Ram is dead. T'than becomes suspicious of Zo'or because Ram's death shifts the balance of power in the Synod to Zo'or's favor. Meanwhile, Liam travels to El Salvador to investigate Tonio's home and is disturbed by how overly neat it is. Sandoval contacts Liam and tells him that Tonio is now a suspect because the lab confirmed that Tonio was holding something that created a vortex in the ID field. Later, Liam goes to see Renee (Jayne Heitmeyer) and tells her that Tonio's CVI would have prohibited him from murdering Ram. Meanwhile Sandoval goes to see Hannah at her loft. It becomes apparent that Hannah has been hired by Sandoval to find out what ties Liam has with the Resistance. Hannah vows that Liam will tell her every secret he ever knew.

Liam and Renee go to the Flat Planet Café and give Augur (Richard Chevolleau)
a disk that contains all the data from the portal accident. Liam and Sandoval return to Tonio's home in El Salvador and locate a secret room that contains an array of anti-Taelon newsletters and Resistance propaganda, along with a photo of Hannah Klein. Liam looks at the photo in shock, while Sandoval feigns concern.

Renee learns that Hannah's father was an ID technician before he was killed and Sandoval assigns Liam to get close to her to find out what she knows. T'than tells Da'an about his proposal to bring all the Taelons to live on Earth after reengineering it to duplicate their homeworld. Da'an doesn't approve of this idea because it will virtually wipe out the human race. Da'an exits and Zo'or, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, enters. He tells T'than that the Taelons' greatest weakness is the Commonality and that it should be destroyed. Meanwhile, Hannah files her report with Sandoval, which states that Liam is a loyal Companion Protector with no ties to the Resistance. Sandoval doesn't buy this report, so he implants a locator microchip into Hannah's arm to track her movements.

Later, Hannah waits for Da'an at the embassy. T'than arrives with Sandoval, who has rigged the security alarm to go off. As soon as it does, Sandoval instructs Hannah to take T'than through the portal. Liam enters the room and thinks that Hannah is going to kill T'than when he sees them together inside the portal. Liam leaps into the portal and the three of them disappear into ID space. Liam notices the glowing chip on Hannah's arm and she tells him that Sandoval put it on her. Liam overloads his ion pistol and it tears a hole in the vortex, releasing them from ID space. T'than and Liam survive, but Hannah dies in Liam's arms. T'than and Da'an know that Zo'or was behind T'than's assassination attempt. To further gain Da'an's allegiance, T'than tells Da'an that he has changed his mind about recreating their homeworld on Earth.
