The naive clones are to be cut loose and left alone while Sarah and the self-aware clones are to be terminated. Rachel offers to help with that. Evie turns her down.

Sarah continues binge-drinking heavily as the bar fills up. She encounters Dizzy, who thinks she followed him there. She assures him that she's off the clock. A girl and guy, Elle and Tito, buy Sarah a shot and flirt with her. Dizzy comes along.

They begin to have sex, but Dizzy continues talking about the clone drama and the bot implants. He confesses that he helped Sarah find MK because his friend Ed Capra had one of the implants and was killed. Sarah tries to get him to stop talking but he continues. He realizes the implant was removed from her mouth and brings it up, mentioning that other people have implants and wanting to know how she got it removed. She gets frustrated and leaves.

In the middle of Donnie's scary story, there's a knock on the door. The police arrive. They swarm in, arresting Donnie on narcotic trafficking charges and terrifying the children. Duko speaks with Allison and gives her his card. He mentions Kendall, shocking Allison.

Sarah goes to a bridge and hallucinates seeing Beth's bag and shoes left there. She then sees a hallucination of Beth herself.

Back at the lab, Scott and Cosima work on the bot. Cosima brings up the idea of implanting the bot in her own face: since Susan and Evie explained that the bot for Sarah was designed to trigger the gene for the clone illness, it could turn it off in Cosima. Scott tells Cosima that the idea is crazy.

Cosima and Scott go upstairs to eat with Hell Wizard. Cosima goes back downstairs and locks them out, preparing to cut a hole in her mouth and implant the bot in herself.

Sarah speaks with Beth, telling her she wanted to buy a train ticket but didn't have the money. The hallucination of Beth taunts Sarah about her desire for suicide.

Felix wanders around looking for Sarah. Mrs. S calls him and tells him that Kira told her that she was following Beth. Scott also calls Felix and tells him that Cosima is about to do something medically crazy because she blames herself for Kendall's and Delphine's deaths.

Felix hops in a cab and calls Cosima at the same time, as Scott and Hell Wizard bang at the lab door. Cosima answers and Felix explains to her that Krystal saw Delphine get shot but she was taken away alive by someone else. Cosima breaks down and stops the process of implanting the bot in herself. Felix assures her that they'll figure something else out. Felix spots Sarah on the bridge and jumps out, talking her down. She embraces Felix and they leave together.

Sarah returns to the safehouse the next morning, where Mrs. S is cooking eggs for breakfast. She prepares a plate for Sarah. Sarah grabs Siobhan's hand and they sit in silence.
