At the Taelon Embassy, Da'an (Leni Parker) presents the Taelon Galactic Database to reporters as Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) patrols the periphery. Scott Pierce (Steve Bacic) steps into an alcove and pulls out a Hammerlin CD-57 Pulse Gun with an attached transducer. Pierce fires energy pulses that penetrate the virtual glass of the embassy and runs away. Liam and Da'an are stunned to see gaping holes in the virtual glass that is impervious to all human weapons. Sandoval (Von Flores) and Liam find the CD-57 gun and the transducer. Liam requests all surveillance videotapes to identify the shooter. Sandoval tells Liam that he does not want information about the attack released to the press. But later on the mothership, Sandoval informs Zo'or (Anita La Selva) that he has leaked all the information to SatNet News, as per their plan.

Renee (Jayne Heitmeyer) later informs Liam that the Taelons had initiated and lost a lawsuit against Hammerlin Guns, arguing it was possible to modify the pulse weapon to make it a more powerful. Later, Chief of Staff Hubble Urick (Frank Moore) meets with Renee to attain her support for his future political career. Augur (Richard Chevolleau) identifies Scott Pierce from the tapes, but discovers that Pierce is a patient at St. John's Neurological Center. Later on the mothership, Zo'or enters a secret room that holds Pierce's comatose body. Zo'or inputs instructions into a machine and Zo'or's Taelon energy is transferred into Pierce's body. Sandoval enters the secret room and cautions Zo'or about the dangers of being inside Pierce's damaged body. Sandoval cannot guarantee Zo'or's safety, but Zo'or/Pierce insists the risk is worth it to further his knowledge of human experiences.

Zo'or/Pierce goes to a bar and Sandoval monitors Deegan (Leif Anderson) and the two thugs he hired to attack Zo'or/Pierce. But Zo'or/Pierce beats up the thugs and kills Deegan. Sandoval enters the bar and finds the exhilarated Zo'or/Pierce with blood on his hands. Later on the mothership, Sandoval and Zo'or tend to Pierce's battered body, and Sandoval again cautions Zo'or about the continuation of his experiments.

At St. John's Neurological Institute, Liam meets with Dr. Nigel Fields (Michael Fawkes) and learns that Pierce has been in a coma for three months. After being denied access to Pierce, Liam leaves and Dr. Fields reports Liam's inquires to Sandoval. Disguised as hospital staff, Renee and Liam sneak into Pierce's room, where they learn from his wife Erica (Kathryn Zenna) that the Taelons are helping Scott recover from his coma. Later, Renee and Liam meet with Butler (Donald Carrier), a specialty arms dealer, and learn that either the Taelons or the government produced the transducer used in the embassy attack. Meanwhile, Augur traces the energy signature of Zo'or/Pierce's travels and speculates Pierce is a Taelon.

Concerned for Zo'or's safety, Sandoval tells Da'an that Zo'or/Pierce attacked the Embassy and is conducting transference experiments. Zo'or insists to Da'an that in order to manipulate humans to ban energy weapons, the perpetration of a high profile crime is necessary. Hubble Urick requests Renee's presence at a fundraiser in honor of Zo'or and asks her to be an adviser on Taelon relations. Later, Liam traces Zo'or and Pierce's movements and confirm they are the same person. Just as Liam finds the transfer room, Zo'or/Pierce portals out. Liam globals Renee at the fundraiser to inform her of his findings just as Zo'or/Pierce materializes. Liam portals in just as Zo'or/Pierce is about to kill Hubble Urick. Liam tackles Urick and Sandoval prevents Zo'or/Pierce from firing. Sandoval and Zo'or/Pierce return to the mothership and Zo'or transfers out of Pierce's body. Upon recovery Zo'or orders Sandoval to dispose of Pierce, who has now emerged from his coma. Liam learns of Zo'or's plans and he creates a diversion to take the body. Da'an confronts Zo'or and Zo'or channels his experiences to Da'an, which troubles yet intrigues Da'an. Zo'or believes the human survival instinct will help save the Taelons from the Jaridians. Liam and Renee reunite Pierce with his wife and allow them a few moments of happiness before they are told the truth and hidden from the Taelons.
