Tyler Carson ( Cameron Monaghan ), the son of a Massive Dynamic employee ( Andrew Airlie ), is kidnapped by two people who are believed to be using mind control to avoid capture. However, at the money dropoff, the team learn that Tyler is the one who is using mind control after Peter is taken hostage. Walter suspects that Tyler took some of the enhancement drugs being developed to allow pilots to mentally fly their planes. Peter realizes Tyler kidnapped himself to both hurt his father and to find his lost mother. Walter devises a way to "shut down" Tyler's brain for a few seconds and Peter crashes the getaway vehicle. In the end, Massive Dynamic takes Tyler into custody, and a file reveals that there are a number of Tyler clones. Nina Sharp reports the incident to William Bell.
