Warning: Spoilers
Okay so we start here with Niska, meeting LEO. They discuss the 'formula' for synthetic consciousness being hidden. Leo says this information is hidden and all they need to do is find it.

Leo tells Niska she needs to play nice. Haha.

And the Hawkins family discusses if they should get rid of Anita. Mixed reviews on that one!!!

LOL, Pete busts in to Voss' room in the morning to deliver her a coffee and almost catches VOSS on her charging station!!! Oh dear!! Pete apologizes and says 'oh i sometimes forget you're a woman.' hahahaha

+1 Star for Voss almost getting caught!!!!

Niska goes to George's house, sent by LEO. Vera immediately recognizes Niska for a synth, but Niska tells Vera she's not a synth. And since Synth's can't lie, that must be the truth!!! George is now aware that consciously aware synths can exist, if he wasn't convinced before by meeting Leo and Max.

Mattie is still connecting with Leo, and Mattie decides to drive off with Anita instead of letting the recycle synth people take Anita. Oh this should be interesting.

Mattie takes Anita back to Leo. Anita is acting still like a synth, but Mattie thinks that Leo's Anita is still in there. She's convinced she's seen it.

Niska and George debate how human consciousness can be replaced by a mere thousands of pages of CODE. George admits that he was brought over from MIT to England to help this David scientist by creating the design for the bodies, the exoskeletons and whatnot for the synths, 25 years previous. But when George became aware of what this David was trying to create, a self aware synthetic organism, David got rid of George from the project. George is not pleased, he is worried about what is sitting in front of him on his couch.

+1 Star for this backstory on George, Niska, and the creation of synths.

Oh another reveal!!!! As HOBB is investigating Niska's smash up of the smash up club, they discuss how this LEO is LEO ELSTER , the son of the scientist who created these synths, DAVID ELSTER. Leo supposedly drowned and is dead, so they were all told. The powers that be that Hobb is discussing this with realize what this is and call it as such, a National and Global, security issue. If self aware synths have indeed been created that this could ruin everything forever and far as their slave synths go!!! This simply cannot stand!!!

Pete follows a lead he gets on ODI and follows it back to George's house. Pete makes an issue of searching the House for ODI. It's a near miss, as Vera comes back from the store just before Pete finds Niska in the house, and Niska would be forced to kill him.

Pete leaves and returns to the hunt. And wow, Joe confesses his infidelity to Laura, with Anita. Talk about 2 schools of thought. Laura tells Joe to get the heck out.

Niska recognizes a picture of Hobb in Georges house. She confronts George about Hobb's role in this synth project. And George lies to her. And Niska knows it.

This ep. scores a 7/10
