### Recap

During a fraught operation off the Miami Coast, Michael Evans unleashes a devastating new technology  while accompanied by new recruit Phil Wise.

Captain Canuck goes AWOL, setting out solo in Michael’s Avro Arrow, hoping to arrive ahead of a mysterious foe hitting each of Mr. Gold’s compounds and to find a clue in his quest for Marla Ritchie. Canuck instead finds himself face to face with the deadly mercenary Blue Fox.

### Synopsis

Six months ago, after watching his online videos about declaring war on the Hamilton Mafia, Michael Evans and Parminder Patel meet with Steeltown Hammer, Bryan Dwyer, in the hospital. Micheal recruits Dwyer to Equilibrium, offering to help him with his legal defence.

Present day, Dwyer helps new recruit, Phil Wise, to his new quarters on the Equilibrium base. Bryan asks Phil for help with his legal case, but is told that he is in International, not criminal law. Micheal comes to the door interrupting them. Phil asks about Micheal’s bodyguard, who was attacked by Bill Koontz’s body earlier, but Micheal dismisses it and offers to show him some cool stuff. Micheal has Dwyer take Phil’s phone as a security measure and pat him down. He finds Wise’s platinum astronaut pen, Michael tell Phil that his pen was taken during the Evans Energy liquidation, and tells him not to let anyone ever take it from him. They arrive in the basement to find Redcoat, who tells him that the Avro Arrow has been taken by Captain Canuck.

On Cooper’s Island, Blue Fox attacks Captain Canuck, who recognizes her as the woman who took Marla Ritchie. Parminder attacks Blue Fox with the Wolf Drones, but Canuck tells her to stand down. Blue Fox taunts him about how easy it was taking and delivering her. Micheal tries to reach Tom telepathically, but ends up distracting him. Blue Fox stabs him, breaching his shield. Parminder remotely hacks Canuck’s booster pack, throwing off Blue Fox and chasing her down again with the drones. Parminder accidentally slips and tells Canuck about the big brother circuit that Michael had her install in his suit.

Back at Equilibrium HQ, Micheal tries to have an Ensign activate the big brother circuit, while arguing with Redcoat about it putting Tom in danger. The Ensign tells him the circuit has already been activated. Michael orders his team to track him down. Kebec realizes that Redcoat already knows where he is and they set off in the only ship that Michael can’t track, Mr. Gold’s.

Parminder tells Canuck that someone else tried to activate the big brother circuit, knowing that Micheal must be onto them. Tom pulls Blue Fox’s sword out of his chest and sets off after her. Parminder tries to slow her down, but Blue Fox grabs one of the drones and shoot down the other two. Blue Fox sets the drone to sentry mode, but the friendly fire prevention system stops it from firing at Canuck. Unable to climb a ladder due to his wound, Tom overtaxes his booster using it as a jet pack to escape the compound. Canuck questions nearby civilians, while Blue Fox escapes using an image inducer.

Parminder picks up an energy surge and recognizes it as the same from when Marla Ritchie got abducted from HQ. Parminder realizes that they can use her image inducer to track her. Canuck catches up to Blue Fox as she plants a bomb in the compound. Blue Fox kicks his wound, and climbs into an escape pod. Canuck escapes, climbing onto another pod as the compound explodes. As they fly through the air, Canuck jumps from pod to pod until he lands on Blue Fox’s, who is waiting for him with her wrist mounted blades. As they fight, Parminder warns him of an approaching vessel, a giant gold pyramid. Blue Fox tells him that there is something that she needs in the pyramid, and if he helps her, she’ll give him what he wants, Marla.

Back at Equilibrium HQ, Phil activates the hidden transponder in his pen. P.A.CT. director, Manon Deschamps answers, telling him the she will be personally supervising this operation. Phil tells her that they’ve accepted his cover story, but Evans has miniaturized and weaponized the Uniband tech, confirming their fears. Manon tells him that a rival agency also has an operative inside of Equilibrium.
