SummaryEdit

Previously on FlashForward Edit

Charlie's fears Edit

Charlie Benford has a nightmare...

Working with Simon Edit

Simon Campos is trying to convince Janis Hawk to help him get to the National Linear Accelerator Project because he wants revenge against the people who caused the Global Blackout. Demetri arrives and a shorft fight ensues. Janis constrains Simon but, in doing so, receives a blow to her abdomen.

Bryce, Nicole and Keiko Edit

Nicole Kirby visits Bryce Varley at his home to talk about what they are going to do that day; she looks at a drawing of Keiko Arahida and her guilty feeling about not having told Bryce that Keiko is detained in Los Angeles returns. Keiko is told by an interpreter that she could be held for as long as a year until her immigration case is heard.

Afghanistan Edit

In Afghanistan, Aaron Stark places his wounded daughter Tracy Stark onto a rough cot in the room he saw in his Flash so Kahmir Dejan can try to save her life. Aaron interrogates Keith Connor, a Jericho operator and learns that the villagers Tracy had thought were dead were actually unconscious as a result of a test for the Global Blackout. Jericho wanted Tracy to find out why she remained conscious while within the one kilometer range of the experiment. Tracy died shortly after.

Mark's descent into madness Edit

Lucas Hellinger tells Mark Benford that there are various paths from the present through the day but that they all end with Mark dead in his office. Back in Los Angeles, Mark briefs Stanford Wedeck and Marshall Vogel on his discovery of the relationship between the term "tachyon" and a data warehousing company, Tachyon Offsite Information Systems.

Demetri and Zoey disagree Edit

Mark Benford and Demetri Noh discuss what they have accomplished and Mark convinces... Demetri Noh meets Zoey Andata at the airport to fly to Hawaii; he tells her that he is the father of Janis Hawk's child.
