## Plot summary

Tom, Meredith, and Ben gather together for a reading of the will. Ben is encouraged to leave for a specific portion of the reading, but he refuses, and so the truth of his biological lineage is revealed. Ben is bitter and angry that both his mother and brother knew and didn't tell him. Although both Tom and their mother attempt to reassure him of his place in their family, Ben is in no mood to be consoled. Ben finds out that Miyu was attacked by one of the activated people and goes to check on her. During the power outage that occurs that night they almost rekindle their romantic relationship but Ben takes it too far, mixing his old fantasies from the application Miyu, and almost chokes her. She tells him to leave.
Lawrence's death is all over the news, and Danny and his friends are watching. He becomes agitated about the way they're talking about it because of Tom's reaction to the events. Suddenly, the program is disrupted by tons of images of people having sleep seizures from activating on the Feed. That night, one of their friends begins to activate in her sleep. They watch on, broadfasting it on the Feed, not realizing that their friend is being replaced.
Evelyn attempts to move on from the tragedy. She burns Max's old shirt as well as the sheets from the bed they used to share and then dresses to go to work. She goes to visit Max and unhooks the IV delivering his pain meds. She asks again who he is, and he introduces himself as "D." During the exchange he tells Evelyn that Max died at the farm and that there was nothing that could have been done to save him. That night when she returns home, though, she activates a hologram of Max which she lays down with.
Tom arrives to the Hub and discovers that ICSA has seized 60 additional people, including children, who have been activated. Most of the people are hearded into large metal cages, but a single girl manages to manipulate her way into being given a private cell in the same style that Max was contained in. He makes his way to his father's old office where he begins reviewing Lawrence's mundles with Evelyn's help, dividing the years between them. They discover that Lawrence deleted everything that they didn't want them to know. Tom determines that they're going to need everyone's assistance to put the pieces of the puzzle together, including Gil, and maintains that the former security officer is innocent.
Meredith and Amanda Javad host a meeting in which they announce that together they will be running the Feed. That night when the power goes out, she hears sobbing in her house and goes to investigate. She finds Ben alone, crying. He confesses to her that he planted the app on Gil and tells her that he didn't mean for it to go that far.
A group of Resisters wearing special full-body gear meant to hide their presence from Feed users attempt to hack into a private server. The operation is revealed to be headed by Tia, and their purpose is to broadcast the financial details of 3 million people worldwide. A group of security guards arrive to investigate and the women manage to stun them and escape. It's revealed that one of the women on the mission is Kate. When they get back to base, the small group launches their program which succeeds in broadcasting the data but also takes out half the power in London, including at the Hub, where the electronic door locks release. The little girl leaves her cell, makes her way down to the other cells, and kills the guard on patrol there, enabling them to escape. Several of them search the compound looking for anyone they can capture and/or kill, and Evelyn, Tom, and Bea barely escape with their lives. He and Kate quarrel over the outcome of her actions that night as well as what he's attempting to do to fix things.
Gil is transferred from the Hub to normal prison where he can be bailed out. A prisonmate taunts him over Lawrence's death, and Gil responds by slamming his head into a table, resulting in him being escorted to solitary. That night when the power goes out, the inmate that he assaulted shows up with an iron bar and beats him badly.
