As the episode starts, Goodchild has perfected a method of copying humans. Determined to put an end to the operation, Æon and a fellow agent, Scaphandra who is a double-agent for Bregna, cross the border into Bregna. Scaphandra has lost parts of her feet during a previous crossing and has had hands transplanted to replace the missing parts of her feet. As Æon rushes towards Trevor's base of operations, Scaphandra is captured and taken to Trevor Goodchild who takes a sample of her for copying. Æon comes in, frees Scaphandra and tackles Trevor about the ethics and inner purposes of his operation. Deliberately presenting an opportunity for Trevor, Æon allows him to take a sample of her though Æon smashes Scaphandra's sample. After Æon leaves, Trevor copies Æon for himself. It is revealed to be a complex plot by Æon to ...

Æon enters her living quarters to find a container of eggs she was keeping in her refrigerator but she finds that Trevor, who is in a cupboard, has had them all. Angry, Æon leaves her apartment but before venturing outside the Monican base she witnesses another agent fail to successfully complete jumping through a complex climbing frame.

In this episode, Æon is on an assassination mission. She infiltrates her target's home via a maintenance ladder. On her entry she falls from the ladder, and notices she is spied on by a security camera. While walking down a hallway she notices a room where the security camera recorder is being kept, and enters. She goes to destroy the tape but at the last minute decides to review the footage. The picture is faulty because of a loose video jack shorting against an air vent. Æon goes to fix the connection but spills coffee on her gloved arm. Unnoticed by the departing Æon, footage of another intruder previously entering the building plays on the monitor. While washing her arm, Æon accidentally sprays water on herself in the bathroom's shower and spoils her signature hairstyle ...

The episode starts with Æon catching a fly with her eyelashes. We then cut to an apparent battle between Monican agents and Breen forces, with Æon liberally mowing down dozens of soldiers on her quest to apparently assassinate a Breen Official, though most of them are already sick and dying from a strange disease carried by an azure beetle. As hundreds of soldiers die in the sewers, Trevor Goodchild finds and takes in one of the beetles, hiding it in his finger and carrying it with his lover to the top of the building where Æon's target is sleeping. While Æon has traveled up onto the roof she unwittingly picked up a tack from a loose cable fastening on the sole of her boot.
