In the third episode of Alphas season one, titled "Anger Management," the team is tasked with investigating a spree of seemingly random acts of violence in a New York City neighborhood. As they begin to delve into the case, they realize that the perpetrator may be an Alpha with the ability to manipulate emotions and incite aggression in others.

Meanwhile, Dr. Rosen (played by David Strathairn) continues to navigate the politics of working with the government agency that oversees the team, known as the Strategic Response Unit (SRU). He meets with the head of the SRU, Agent Sullivan (played by Valerie Cruz), who expresses concern about the team's abilities and their potential for causing harm.

Back in the field, the team members begin to experience their own emotional struggles as they try to track down the Alpha responsible for the attacks.
