Bob Brody (Michael Cram), a former Companion protector working as head of security for the New Life family planning group, is enjoying a quiet evening at home with his pregnant wife, Sue (Jane Watson). Suddenly a bolt of electricity shoots from Sue's womb, knocking Bob to the floor. He writhes in agony as the CVI (cyber viral implant) in his brain burns up, killing him within seconds. Traumatized, Sue goes into labor and calls for help.

That night, Detective Sam Nepps (Dean Monroe McKenzie) meets Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) to inform him of the unusual death of Liam's former colleague Bob. Bob's wife, Sue, is in a coma, but the baby has survived and is in a neo-natal critical care unit. Liam hears that Bob's cause of death was officially listed as a brain aneurysm, but Nepps believes it was a CVI malfunction. Liam decides to investigate.

At Doors International, Renee (Jayne Heitmeyer) tells Liam that New Life was started by the Taelons five years ago, and has a good reputation, having helped hundreds of infertile couples have children. Liam then visits the Taelon Mothership to ask Da'an (Leni Parker) about possible causes for Bob's CVI malfunction. Da'an explains that such damage could only have been caused by feedback from another CVI with an identical frequency, but insists such an occurrence is impossible since no two implants are alike.

While at the hospital, Liam and Renee spot Ronald Sandoval's (Von Flores) right-hand man, Frank Tate (Richard Zeppieri), and immediately suspect that Sandoval is behind Bob's death. Posing as a married couple, they visit the New Life center where Bob had worked. Renee is given a blood test by the center's manager, Louise Jacoby (Lynn Griffin), and is told she is infertile. Shocked by the news, Renee visits her own doctor, (Alison Burn) who verifies that she is unable to become pregnant. Renee and the doctor conclude her infertility may be due to exposure to Taelon technology.

Onboard the Mothership, Sandoval meets with Zo'or (Anita La Selva), informing him that Bob's death was the result of a CVI malfunction that could not have been foreseen. He tells Zo'or that the New Life project is expected to produce 70 children with very unique capabilities per week. Zo'or is concerned that the attention being given to Bob's death may jeopardize the project, and orders Sandoval to ensure that Sue Brody remains silent about how her husband died.

At the hospital, Sue awakens from her coma and is told by Louise that she has a new son. Her happiness is quickly brought to a halt, when Sandoval enters her room and tells her that Bob is dead. He warns her that her and her baby's safety are dependent upon her remaining silent about the circumstances surrounding her husband's death.

Liam meets a despondent Renee at a bar to reveal what he's learned about Louise. He informs her that Louise was a biotech engineer involved in CVI research with the Taelons before working with New Life. He reminds her that if Da'an's suspicions were correct, the Brody baby must have a CVI with a frequency identical to that of his father. They verify this by visiting Sue and her new son, on whom Liam uses a scanning device to confirm the presence of a CVI.

Liam and Renee take their findings to Da'an, accusing the Taelons of implanting CVIs in the New Life program's unborn children. Da'an denies the accusation, insisting that the Taelons were initially involved in the project, but have long since abandoned it. He does, however, tell them that if the current New Life administrators were somehow implanting CVIs, they would need incubators. That night, Liam and Renee sneak into the New Life facility to see if such incubators exist. They are shocked to find the New Life incubators are actually zombie-like humanoid females who are regularly hooked up to a strange machine that beams Taelon energy into their wombs. Liam and Renee fight their way past security guards and return to the Mothership.

Pressured by Renee, Da'an admits that the Taelons had been firing energy beams toward North America and this may have contributed to the infertility of many women, including Renee. While he won't admit that the reason for the energy dispersal was to drive more women to the New Life clinics and create CVI babies, he does offer Renee a rejuvenation lattice that will restore her fertility. Renee asks Da'an if he has enough to help all the women the Taelons have affected. When Da'an replies that he doesn't, Renee refuses the lattice. She tells Da'an she'd rather remain infertile than accept a favor from a Taelon.
