Sarah Manning, trying to keep up the pretense of being Beth Childs, tries to track down a lead on who is hunting the clones. She goes to a rehab facility that the suspect, Maggie Chen, had checked into. She impersonates a facility worker to gain access and discovers that Chen underwent tests and had a lot of synthetic biology work done on her. Sarah believes that Dr. Leekie from the Dyad Institute is behind this.

Felix Dawkins has a new client, an artist named Kira. Kira is a transgendered individual who wants a mold of her genitals made as part of her art project. When Felix accidentally takes Kira's plaster casts of her genitalia to the rehab facility where Sarah is, it causes problems. Felix is caught in a compromising position with one of the staff, and Sarah gets kicked out.

Cosima Niehaus meets Delphine Cormier, Dr. Leekie's new assistant, and sparks fly. Delphine admits to having a crush on Cosima, but Cosima is wary of her intentions. Cosima and Delphine work to analyze the samples from the clones to find out how they are connected.
