This week the murder of a human by a Synth is drawing a lot of negative attention toward the police and the Synths themselves. Niska is on the run after her violent behavior at the smash club. The identity of Hobbs is finally revealed. The Hawkins is dealing with some marital and family issues. Leo is getting help from an unsuspecting source to find Mia (Anita), and Peter’s attitude toward Synth’s are starting to turn sour.
- Leo tells Niska that he found a program within Mia’s (Anita) root source code left by his father David Elster that could possibly give every Synth consciousness. He stashes Niska with Dr. George Millican until he can find Fred and Mia.
- Hobbs is given an order to destroy Fred to prevent anybody from taking him. His colleagues consider Fred and his conscious Synth family a national and global threat.
- Mattie takes Anita away after Laura and Joe agree that it would be best if Anita be returned to the Persona Group for recycle. She meets up with Leo and Max to help them reach Mia.
- Peter Drummond is placed on desk duty after his physical altercation with a reporter.
- Karen Voss is ordered to clean up the media mess that her superiors believe she created. Little does her superiors and she know that it was Peter who leaked the information to the press.
- Leo is having trouble reaching Mia and declares that she is lost forever. Mattie refuses to believe that and takes her home to see what she can do to help her. Leo then pushes Max away and walks out, leaving Max alone.
- Mattie finds an adult sex program activated and believes that Toby had sex with Anita. Toby denies it, but realizes that his father is the guilty one. Toby takes the blame, but confronts his father about it and is ashamed that he would do this.
- Millican hides Niska and their views and feelings towards humans and Synths clash, but somehow they get along. Niska almost gets caught when Det. Drummond visits him about his old D-series found in the woods. While hiding, she finds a picture that shocks her.
- Niska finds out that Millican, Elster, and Hobbs were once colleagues on the early Synth program. Hobbs is actually Professor Edwin Hobbs. Unfortunately, Millican finds out that Niska is the murderous Snyth the police are looking for.
- Feeling guilty about what he did, Joe confesses to Laura that it was he who had sex with Anita and justifies it that she is just a sex toy and an appliance. Disgusted by him, Laura kicks Joe out of the house.
- Hobbs shows his colleagues a destroyed Snyth body confirming that it is Fred, but something is not right about his demeanor and attitude.
- Karen talks to Peter about her theory that they should be looking for a Synth posing as a human female. He says if that is so, then that changes everything when Synths pretend to be humans. Karen walks away trying to not to react, but she knows she is everything that Peter fears.
- Peter finds himself at a Pro-Human/Anti-Synth rally where he is getting inspired by what the speakers is saying.
This week a lot is revealed about Dr. Millican and his connection with the Synth program. We get to see more of Det. Peter Drummond and how he is dealing with his separation with his wife and his feelings towards Synths. Det. Karen Voss is still hiding the fact that she is a conscious Synth from everybody, especially her partner. Millican comes face to face with David’s final creation of true A.I., and gets a dark picture of how A.I. perceives humans. Leo sinks to some form of depression after his failed attempt to reach Mia, and the Hawkins family is split apart after what Joe did. Next week, Hobbs takes steps to his advantage with the Synth problem.
