The episode opens up in the labratory in the Department of Defense. A frantic scietist (Alex Sullivan) is shown deleting files from his computer and places a flash drive into his pocket. The next day C.I.A agent Bishop Bricker goes into the office of Frederick Mason, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, and tells him the "information" is missing. An angery Mason then tells Bricker to "activate it" and "have it retrieve the data." Bricker then goes to a labratory. As Bricker enters you see the words "Project Alpha" on the wall. Bricker then walks up to a computer and uses it to activate Project Alpha. You then see a close up of an android's face and the android (named Alpha) opens it's eyes. A few hours later Alex is shown at his home sitting at his desk. The doorbell then rings and a suspicious Alex grabs a gun from the desk drawer. As he goes to the door he realizes that it's just the pizza delievery boy. However, as Alex turns to get the money for the pizza he is attacked by the pizza boy. However, it is revealed that the pizza boy is really Alpha who was using his cloaking technology. Alpha then tackels Alex to the ground and the two brgin to fight. Alex reaches for his gun. However, Alpha picks the gun up first. There is then a shot of the outside of Alex's house and you hear the sound of a gun being fired. Several months go by and Alpha is disguised as Alex and living with Sullivan family. In the morning Alpha wakes up and is shown interacting with Alex's wife, Sarah, and his children, Rachel and Billy.
