The two of them leave and Donna greets Ida, who is watering her bushes. Once Donna drives to work, Ida tells Bill that Donna is looking great.

In the basement, a beam of light shines down as Felix opens up Brady's skull. Brady checks the monitors and sees them working, and clutches at his head in pain. Felix talks about how they'll establish the neural connections and introduce visual stimulation, encouraging Brady to speak. Scapelli shows Brady a picture of his ice cream truck, and he resists talking. The nurse shows him a photo of the Mercedes, the clown mask, and finally Deborah. Brady's EKG readings show that he's reacting to the stimuli. Liang asks why the MRI shows that Brady is apparently conscious but still non-verbal, and complains that they came there to see results but there aren't any. He complains to Cora that he's getting excuses and leaves with his people, and Cora shares glances with Felix before going after them.

Felix sends the OR staff out and then tells Brady that he can make him do anything that he wants. He inserts a probe into Brady's brain, saying that he can turn him into a puppy dog. All Brady has to do is say "stop". Brady says that he's coming for Felix and might open his skull.

Reggie says that killing a dog is a misdemeanor, but the burglary is a felony with a maximum of three years in prison. Al insists that he didn't kill a dog, but Reggie tells his brother that they have on tape and have the bloody clothes as evidence. His brother says that he doesn't remember his days and something is slipping in his brain. Al remembers a trail of slime and nothing else, breaks into tear, and asks Reggie for help.

Felix goes to Lou's place and introduces himself to her. He says that he knows Brady is conscious and Lou agrees, and says that she asked Brady why he spared her life. Felix suggests that Brady cared about her, and doesn't think that her denying it is healthy. He asks her to help get Brady to show that he's conscious, and suggests that Brady is manipulating the computers in his room. Lou says that she could find Brady's cyber fingerprint, and Felix asks her to tell them Brady's triggers so they can bring Brady out of his shell.

Reggie realizes that Al knows who it is, and Al finally tells him that it's Brady and he'll come back again. His brother suggests that they should get out of town and take some time off, and Al says that they have to leave immediately or he'll die. Reggie finally agrees and they go to pack.

At home, Cora is packing and tells Felix that the Jiankang representatives want her on a flight to Beijing, and she'll stay until the union between the Chinese and Vitalta is secure. Felix says that he needs her there and they can wait, and Cora tells her that they can't. He picks up her passport and wonders if they're setting him up as a fall guy. Felix asks Cora to stay, and offers to talk to Cora's superior. She refuses and Felix asks her for the truth, and his wife says that is. Felix threatens to rip her passport if she doesn't tell him the truth about Vitalta telling her to go to China. Cora finally says that they didn't, and Felix takes her by the throat... and finally kisses Cora. He tells her that they're not in it together anymore and walks out.

Bill says that Brady is a pestilence and they need to get him as far away as possible, and walks away. Montez tells Pettimore that he asked, pays his bill, says that Bill ain't wrong, and leaves.

Under Brady's control, Al breaks one of Bill's records.
