When Stephanie (actually her clone) wakes, she is a bit dazed and confused. Michael explains that she was in a car accident.

While visiting Colin, Laura spots a pile of confidential forms being shredded and she secretly takes one of the papers. Robert Armstrong, owner of a company that produces artificial limbs, stops by to check on Colin but he seems to have his own agenda. Philip discovers that there has been a glitch in security and that Jacob is not responsible for the explosion. Immediately, Colin knows who planted the bomb, so he pays a visit to Robert. The men talk and Robert begs Colin to stop mixing android and clone organs. He feels that Colin is crossing the lines. From the next room, Robert's sexy lover and paid assassin, Bianca, listens in on their conversation. Samantha is in the hospital recovering and can now feel her legs.
