When Eloise Kittridge ( Maureen Mueller ) is murdered, Goren and Eames's investigation leads to a plot by the head of the Durning Foundation, Spencer Durning ( Josef Sommer ) to ensure his legacy. He acquired Eloise's father Randall Kitridge's recently deceased body from cryogenic storage to retrieve his brain for research because his son Nicholas ( Jay Goede ) is suffering from early onset Alzheimer's disease which Randall Kitridge had apparently recovered from in mid-life.
