Adversaries, Part 1

Colin holds a press conference telling the world about the life-saving and life-improving benefits of cloning organs. The moral issue of cloning brings out religious protesters who picket 4Ever Technologies. Among the protesters is Jacob, the father of Samantha, a young woman who is paralyzed. Laura, Colin's assistant and also Samantha's friend, puts in a request for a spinal transplant. Colin confronts Laura about requesting the surgery behind his back but eventually approves it. Laura and Colin have been involved in a secret affair and her need for him in this instance brings them closer. Julia (formerly known as Stephanie) starts working at 4Ever and sets up a business agreement with Colin. Bethany is having recurring dreams about her ex-husband, who surprises her at the job with divorce papers. Later in the evening a security guard finds Jacob on the premises and moments later there is an explosion in the Cloning Lab.
