As the episode opens, Mia is having a flashback to childhood. The two children had participated in one of Lorenz’s studies and her brother had died. She overhears her parents arguing with Lorenz about her culpability in the boy’s death. Back in the present, Lorenz praises Mia in front of the class for her novel approach to a molecular biology problem. Mia convinces Lorenz to hire her as an assistant on human clinical trials.
While discussing developments with her roommates, Jasper, and his best friend Niklas, Mia has another flashback to the car accident in her childhood that killed her parents, but which she survived. Lorenz is present at the accident scene and thinks that both parents and the girl are dead. Lorenz retrieves some documents from the accident site and drives away.
After the flashback, Mia is walking with Jasper when she receives an anonymous text message that asks: “Do you have new information?” At Lorenz’s lab the next day, Lorenz has Mia take swabs from volunteers in a study about genetic markers related to hormones and female fertility. When one volunteer decides not to participate, Lorenz has Mia take her place. When Lorenz takes a throat swab from Mia, the girl has a flashback to the time that Lorenz had taken a swab from her and her brother as a child.
Mia later swaps her sample tube with a swab she surreptitiously obtained from Lotta (so that Lorenz won’t discover that Mia is already in her database). After Jasper sequences the samples, Lorenz reviews them with Mia and is surprised that, although Mia has freckles, she lacks the correlated DNA sequence. As the episode ends, Lorenz gives Mia a passcard to the lab.

Biohackers is a German techno-thriller television series created by Christian Ditter that premiered on Netflix on 20 August 2020. A week after its release, the series was renewed for a second season, which was released on 9 July 2021.
Mia Akerlund is a medical student at the University of Freiburg, where she meets Jasper, a talented biology student, and Niklas, his somewhat strange roommate. She is very interested in biohacking technology and becomes involved in the world of illegal genetic experimentation. Mia is also trying to investigate the cause of her brother’s death. When she learns of breakthrough biohacking research results which have landed in the wrong hands, Mia has to decide whether to protect her friends or avenge her brother’s death.
