Carter and Jo continue their search for the missing Astraeus crew. A surprising source confirms the new theory of the disaster, and offers to help them rescue the crew. Meanwhile, back at the lab, lives are at risk as more of the crew comes closer to the truth of their situation, and Carter is sent in on what may be a one way virtual rescue mission.

Carter starts to swap bodies uncontrollably, which puts both his body and his consciousness in awkward situations. Meanwhile, Warren Hughes returns to GD. This time to evaluate Astraeus crew members' reactions to their abductions and any effect to their job performances. But Carter's body swapping jeopardizes jobs, relationships and, ultimately, his own life. Elsewhere, Zane's quest for answers from the matrix reveals disturbing results for both him and Fargo.
