Through surveillance, Alt-Broyles discover that Olivia B and Lincoln B have hidden Lincoln on the premises. He goes to investigate when he is stopped by Walternate and Peter. He informs Alt-Broyles about the shapeshifter problem. Olivia B and Lincoln B go to investigate the origin of that phone call that the cop made in last episode and it takes them to an abandoned warehouse. (I mean doesn't everything?) They meat up with David Robert Jones. He shows them his collection of shapeshifters as he's very proud of them, like his children. He kills one right in front of them to show them that if he'll do that to someone he loves, imagine what he'd do to someone he doesn't. He surrenders easily and asks to be 'taken to their leader.'
Olivia approaches Astrid to check a blood sample against the international database. Olivia confesses to her that Lincoln and Peter crossed over to the other universe so that Peter can get 'home.' Astrid doesn't understand until she realizes Broyles has no idea. She wishes Olivia luck as she has to go tell Broyles what's going on since Peter and Lincoln have yet to return.
Olivia B and Lincoln B arrive to Alt-Broyles with David Robert Jones (We'll call him DRJ) and fill AB in that DRJ is a psycho. Lincoln tells Peter that they're bringing in the suspect of who tried to have them killed. Peter tells them they're ready to go home since Walternate has agreed to help him but Lincoln wants to stay and help. Peter is scared that he can't get home and yells at Lincoln that it's time for them to go...until the suspect comes in and he recognizes DRJ.
Alt-Broyles interrogates DRJ. DRJ tells him that since the scientist was 'taken offline' today, he needs the hard drive on scientists desk and they have 15 minutes to get it to him. Peter and Lincoln arrive to inform Walternate who DRJ is and he's a scientist and that he crossed over from the other side. Peter asks if he can talk to him. AB advises against it but Walternate grants him permission. Peter levels him since he knows exactly who he is. His blood pressure spikes. Even though he's never met Peter, Peter knows him. He was the one who created the portal (NOW I REMEMBER HIM) and Peter closed it on him and cut him in half. DRJ tells him he's run out of time. AB gets a call and needs to be heard by AB, DRJ and Walternate to hear. A doctor calls from a hospital and has them listen as she releases a toxin that kills a floor full of people.
Olivia goes to Broyles to confess, but he knows what she did. He knows all...as Alt Broyles informed him what happened already. Insubordination will be dealt with later, but right now DRJ has to be dealt with. In this reality, neither of them have ever heard of DRJ either but it is definitely a situation that both sides need to handle.
DRJ threatens to kill more people with more chemical destruction unless he's released. Walternate grants his release which does not make Lincoln happy. Lincoln B put a tracker into DRJ's tea so he'll be monitored. They grant Lincoln permission to be on their team for the investigation. Alt Broyles releases DRJ and provides him with the hard drive he requested. (Nice tight T-Shirt, Lance Reddick!) Confused, didn't Alt Broyles confer with him last week?
They all watch DRJ but DRJ is pretty much aware he's being constantly watched so he's doing nothing. Olivia B and Lincoln have a heart to heart. She tells him that although Lincoln B and her are close, their relationship is platonic. DRJ pulls something from the trash including a wad of cash. He randomly offers cash to people. As a crowd gathers, Astrid and Peter sees the tracking signal multiplies. He has figured out the signal and put the same one on all the money he gave out. He is now untraceable and leaves in a car waiting for him. As he drives away, Alt Broyles sees him but does nothing. (Huh?)
Elizabeth comforts Walternate on the bad day he's had. He's visibly upset but Elizabeth calls him out about being upset about Peter as well. He's tried to see what Peter's saying but there isn't anything he can do to help Peter. Only Walter can. Elizabeth thinks maybe she can help him.
Peter asks Alternate Astrid if he can use her computer. She is fascinated that he's from another timeline. I like alternate Astrid. She's a total nerd. Lincoln asks Olivia B that he is troubled that DRJ pinpointed their technology so quickly. He thinks that he was tipped off by someone on their team. Alt. Astrid tips them off that Peter knows where DRJ is headed. Peter thinks he's looking for a mineral which can be used as a power source. He knows because back in his home universe, William Bell used it and DRJ stole it in that reality. They pinpoint it to the Mohonk Quarry in the Hudson River Valley. When they arrive, it seems that the Quarry is clear and secure the perimeter. Peter is patched through and point out an access road that should be guarded but they don't see it. Peter realizes that they are in the wrong universe. (This show is confusing.)
DRJ crosses over to the other side.
Walter has a visitor...it's Elizabeth from the other side. She tells him right away that she's not his wife but her counterpart from the other side. She asks why he's refusing to help Peter. Elizabeth tells him that he needs to save his life. She hasn't seen Walter since he came to steal Peter from her. But she forgives him. He doesn't want her forgiveness though. He's been punished for it ever since. He's come to terms that there is no absolution for him. She convinces him that even though this isn't his son, or her son, there is some part of their son in him and he deserves to go back to the people he loves. He needs to help him. Walter is scared...but so is Peter.
Peter and Lincoln arrive back and are greeted by Broyles and Olivia and tries to place the blame on himself but Olivia's in a lot of trouble. It's okay though, she's used to it.
The FBI in this universe invades the Quarry and DRJ is there. They are under fire as soon as they arrive but they fend them off. DRJ takes off and Olivia chases after him. Peter gets on the walkie talkie and warns her not to chase DRJ because he'll go through the portal and it will kill Olivia. She stops in time and portal chops off the front half of her car.
The two universes meet for a council. Walternate leads the meeting with each counterparts sit across from each other. Only Walternate and Peter are without counterparts. They agree to work together to stop the shape shifters. Lincoln doesn't know how to go after DRJ since DRJ is always one step ahead of them. He holds all the cards. Peter disagrees. They have him. He knows DRJ and that is one variable that DRJ didn't count on. They stopped him once before they can do it again with Peter's help. Olivia wants to know everything about DRJ. She wants to jump right in but Peter wants to go get some sleep. She thanks him profusely for saving her life at the Quarry. (Spark?) Are we rooting for these two or no?
Walter arrives to see Peter. He tells Peter what a wonderful woman his mother was. Peter realizes that Elizabeth came to see him. Walter offers his help to Peter. Peter is thrilled. He tells Walter that Walternate surprised him by not being the man he thought he was. He's even happier that Walter turned out to be the man he knew he was.
DRJ sends a mysterious message telling a computer that Phase One is completed and ask what was next. A response comes through that in due time, 'she'll' be ready. It comes from Nina Sharp!
