Molly and Julie make peace. Learning of Shepherd's death, Molly and JD resolve to find Calderon; they and Ethan discover Terra is gone. Calderon transmits his location to Ethan. JD insists on accompanying Molly and Ethan, even after Molly explains the connection between the amulet and JD's death in her vision. They arrive at Calderon's secluded home, where he holds them at gunpoint; Ethan creates a diversion and the tables are turned. When questioned, Calderon implicates TAALR as the mastermind behind the Humanich threat, his supposed terrorism, and John's murder. The amulet is a kill switch, but he no longer has it. Molly and JD have sex. Calderon attacks Ethan to cannibalize parts to repair his companion, Frankie, a "Sentient," similar to a Humanich. Molly saves Ethan, who decides to help repair Frankie. To repay him, Calderon risks exposure to obtain another copy of the kill switch, and is apprehended after handing it over. Despite Molly's fears, she and JD commit to destroying TAALR. Meanwhile, TAALR installs Lucy as Fiona's head of security and pressures Fiona to authorize increased Humanich militarization. After Humanichs begin building more Humanichs, Julie and Charlie stage an argument so Charlie can get close to Lucy again, but Charlie feels guilty over their actions towards Lucy since her creation. He and Julie share a kiss. Charlie hosts a romantic evening for Lucy and offers her enhanced human senses as a ruse to access her neural network, but he is detected. When Charlie attempts to destroy the Humanichs, he finds them already gone and Lucy reveals she has abducted Julie. Unable to contact anyone, Julie is locked in a trunk with dwindling oxygen.
