- After a series of mysterious bank robberies, a suspect is found embedded into a wall, causing Walter to realize that they have not only found a way to literally walk through walls, but are looking for something he's made in the past.
- Four thieves activates a device to rob the safe of a bank crossing through the solid door. However, the time to flee is over when the last thief is crossing and he is embedded into the steel door. Agent Broyles, Olivia Dunham, Dr. Walter Bishop and Peter investigate the crime scene and Olivia recognizes the criminal. They find that there have been other mysterious heists in other safes. Meanwhile Olivia visits the widow and soon she learns that the memories belongs actually to John Scott. In Frankfurt, the lawyer of David Robert Jones visits his client to report that the last job was successful. Dr. Bishop recalls that the safes belonged to him and he had stored pieces of an experimental teleportation machine capable to bring any person from any place or any time. What is the objective of the criminals and what will happen to Olivia?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Thieves rob a safe from the inside, by passing through a wall they turn to a Jello-like substance. On the way out, one gets stuck mid-wall as it hardens. The team leader, Mitchell Loeb (Chance Kelly), now free from heart parasites, shoots the poor stuck guy in the head, execution style.
The Fringies report to the scene. Broyles (Lance Reddick) says it's the third in a string of robberies. Even weirder, Olivia (Anna Torv) knows him. Raul Lugo (Angel David). He was in her first unit of the Marines. Walter (John Noble) says they'll have to get the guy out of the wall, maybe in pieces.
After the job, the team argues. They're trying to open the safety deposit box they stole. Mitchell Loeb tells the guy who objects they've got one box to go and he should inject himself and shut up.
Wissenschaft Prison, Germany Mr. Jones (Jared Harris) welcomes a Mr. Kohl (James Frain).
Peter (Joshua Jackson) and Walter shop in a big box hardware store, which boggles Walter's mind. Peter picks up on Walter implying Peter travels a lot and hasn't picked a direction. Peter plays the "you've been in a mental institution, you don't know me" card. They're looking for a circular saw to cut through bone and tissue, Walter helpfully over-informs the clerk.
Kohl, Mr. Jones' lawyer, tells him the best he can hope for his life. Mr. Jones asks if he has any news from his people. They say the job in Philadelphia was successful. He tells Kohl to have his people wire Loeb another $100,000 and tell him the location of the next "item."
Jones makes a list of the things he wants Kohl to bring on his next visit including sun tan lotion and Dramamine. He asks Kohl's suit size. He gives him his personal tailor's address.
Edison, New Jersey Olivia breaks the bad news to Susan (Rosa Arredondo), Raul's wife. He moved out two years ago and they hadn't spoke in months. The robberies are news to her. She doesn't remember Olivia at all, or that they've been to each other's houses. Olivia says they had dinner at Susan's house the night Raul became first lieutenant. Susan says Olivia wasn't there, but Olivia remembers everything about the place. But Susan says no: That day it was just her, Raoul and John, his friend from Camp Pendleton. John Scott.
At the lab, Peter catches body parts while Walter saws them out of the wall. Walter says the robbers would need cutting end knowledge of quantum science. Peter asks how Olivia's visit with Susan was and can tell something's wrong. She tells them she didn't recognize Raul, John did. Walter doesn't understand it.
One of the team of robbers tries to get into the super high security safe deposit box. Loeb won't let anyone on the team see what's in them. He says they wouldn't understand anyway. He opens it, thrilled.
At Massive Dynamic, Nina (Blair Brown) wants the people working on John Scott's corpse to try harder to get into his brain. He's their only advantage against a team of highly motivated individuals.
Walter thinks the netting left at the vault might be the key. He's using rice to prove his point. High frequency vibrations disrupted the wall's structure. Use of the technology can render someone radioactive.
Olivia reports the safety deposit boxes were all paid for in cash 23 years ago. The owners are untraceable. She tells Astrid (Jasika Nicole) to make sure the hospitals alert them if anyone comes in with signs of radiation poisoning. Meanwhile, she's going to try to track down people who knew Raul, starting with someone at a bar in Cambridge. Peter decides this mission calls for his particular skill set.
With no one paying attention to his demonstration, Walter makes use of his rice, placing a beaker full on a vibrating surface. It appears solid and supports the toy man atop. But when it's vibrated it shifts and the toy slips in. Cool, if anyone had been watching.
Olivia, as Stephanie, starts in with a double shot of whiskey with her brother "Rick." She asks the bartender if she knows him. She pretends to recognize Drew, from Raul and Susan's wedding. He says Raul got weird. He was in the Gulf War and hung around the VA a lot when he got back.
Olivia calls Broyles to find out what VA that was. It wasn't in his records. They have an hour. When Olivia is ready to go, Peter scoffs at her for chugging and leaving. "Is that a dare?"
Loeb's team compare notes on him over a game of chess. One went through his bag and found a map in German. Loeb walks in and says they're heading to Providence. One guy tries to light his cigarette and shakes horribly.
Peter wows Olivia with card tricks, getting a card into a bottle. She responds by showing off her amazing card-counting skills. She's got a thing for numbers, can always remember them, including the ones from the safety deposit boxes: 233, 377, 610. Peter knows the numbers.
They run home and wake up Walter. He thinks they might need the room. Instead, Peter has recognized the numbers as what Walter recites as he falls asleep each night. The Fibonacci sequence. He starts to dismiss it as a coincidence and realizes something else: the boxes are his.
He can't remember where else they are or why he did it.
Broyles finds the VA Raul stayed in. He had no visitors. She thinks he might have been recruited by another patient.
Back as Massive Dynamic, they have found memory echos in John Scott showing the memories they need might be in Dunham's mind.
Olivia travels to the VA in D.C. She and the doctor play a back and forth game of confidentiality and classification of secrets. The doctor walks off and she starts to make a call when a nurse tells her about the chess club. There were four of them. He remembers their names.
Charlie Francis (Kirk Acevedo) finds a record that the vets bought plane tickets getting them to Providence under an hour ago. Olivia calls Peter to run it by Walter, who feels awful he can't remember. As Walter and Astrid brush the cow (that's not a euphemism, there's a cow in the lab), Peter pauses for a moment and nonchalantly asks Walter what bank he'd go to in Providence if he needed to rent a safety deposit box. He instantly comes up with a name.
Dunham and Francis arrive at the bank, which reports no alarms. They find box 987, the next in the sequence, has been opened. They figure they went through the floor into the sewer. The team is loading into their van when Francis and Dunham round the corner, firing. They take off with one guy not yet loaded in. He runs after but falls when Olivia shoots him in the leg.
Back at their headquarters, one of the team is upset to have lost another man. He refuses to do anything until Loeb shows him what the thefts are all about. He shows them. It looks like a camera or a microscope.
Loeb calls someone and tells them over the phone they're ready and someone is coming that night.
Kohl brings Mr. Jones the requested items. He tells Kohl to come back with paperwork for his appeal tomorrow at 6:30 and to wear one of his lucky suits. He wants his people to get one last thing: Dunham.
She parks her car as someone conducts surveillance on her. She interrogates Ryan Eastwick (Paul Fitzgerald), who won't talk. Peter notices Eastwick's hands won't stop shaking. He tells Francis to call her out, he has an idea.
Peter goes in, bringing a cup of coffee and saying he doesn't think Eastwick will crack. He just wants to see his hands. He lays out some symptoms: shaking hands, vomiting, and hair falling out. Eastwick asks what's wrong with him. Radiation poisoning. He doesn't know the man who hired them or what they were stealing. He only knows he's going to a field in Westwood.
Consulting the map, they find Little Hill air strip, the code word Smith gave to Jones a few weeks ago.
At the lab, Walter goes through his things trying to figure out what he hid. Peter passes the time with simple sleight-of-hand magic tricks.
Walter looks on proudly, then tells Peter he nearly died as a child. His kidneys failed. The doctors didn't know what it was. They guessed a rare form of bird flu. In his research he discovered Dr. Albert Gross was the only one who had solved a case of that illness, but he'd died in the 1930s, so Walter conceived a device to retrieve anyone from anywhere in time. He thinks that's what was in the boxes. He never got to try it - Peter got better - but in theory it could work.
Little Hill Field Olivia is 10 minutes away as Loeb and his team set up the device, like surveyors using degrees for perfect alignment. It's 12:30 a.m.
In Germany, Kohl arrives for Jones. Without preamble, Jones snaps Kohl's neck then takes the suit off his body.
On the way to the field, a black SUV cuts Olivia off. She runs from her car but men in trench coats taser her. The device, complete with a ring about three feet in diameter is set up in the field.
Jones puts in eye drops and applies suntan lotion then goes to stand in the exact corner of his cell. A bright light shoots into the sky from the device. Olivia is out cold in the SUV. Light surround Jones. Loeb watches with anticipation. The walls around Jones start to shake and he disappears in a shaft of light... and reappears in a similar light in Little Hill.
Broyles calls Nina Sharp to tell her it appears Olivia was abducted. He implies she took her, but Nina protests. She's right.
Jones wastes little time basking in his leaping-through-space glory. He needs to get into the decompression chamber and checks to make sure they have Dunham. "She didn't even put up a fight," Loeb tells him.
