The episode opens with Emma (Mia) as a child, in the wrecked car after the accident. She watches Lorenz drive away and discovers that her parents are dead. Back in the present, she talks her way into the university lab, where she finds that the records for her brother are archived off-site, at Lorenz’s house. That evening, Mia goes to a marijuana harvest festival party with Jasper, and afterward, on their way to get ice cream, she reminds him he has something to do at the professor’s home.
Mia goes with him and gets in the house by asking to use the bathroom. Roaming around inside, she finds the computer with the archived files but it is password-protected. Mia surprises Jasper when she finds him in a secret basement lab where she sees a vivarium filled with red-eyed mosquitoes he has created. Jasper suddenly falls ill with an attack related to Huntington’s disease. He tells Mia to call his friend Niklas, who is aware of Jasper’s genetic disorder and Lorenz’s work to treat it.
Niklas has to interrupt Lorenz at a meeting to find out what to do. He gives the phone to Mia as he doesn’t understand Lorenz’s instructions. Mia is reluctant to let her professor know that she is in her house, but only she knows enough lab biology to reverse the gene vector mishap that is causing Jasper’s attack. When her attempt fails, she calls Chen-Lu, who comes and saves Jasper. When Lorenz returns, Mia disconnects the wifi so that Lorenz has to use her computer to look up some information.
She leaves it on and Mia sneaks back to find and print her records and those of her brother from Project “Homo Deus”. She is only able to grab some of the printouts and has to flee so that Lorenz doesn’t catch her. Niklas finds the remaining prints and becomes wary of her motives. Lorenz is also suspicious when she finds the disconnected wifi. In the flash-forward at the end, Jasper is on the train that is also carrying Mia and Niklas, and he has a jar of mosquitoes, which he releases.
