Demetri (John Cho) and Agent Fiona Banks (Alex Kingston) attempt to track down a killer (Callum Keith Rennie) as questions arise about the universe course-correcting itself, when people who thought they’d escaped their fates are found dead. Demetri manages to kill him before he can kill a woman who was supposed to die a week earlier, but Fiona accidentally runs her over. Fiona then receives a phone call from the doctor at the hospital and the conversation they have is the same one thet Gough had in his Flashforward. Fiona believes the doctor will call again on April 29th to tell her Cecelia is dead. This makes Demetri question if the universe will cause him to die.

Mark (Joseph Fiennes) reluctantly agrees to help Simon (Dominic Monaghan) find his sister, Annabelle, but discovers he’s withholding the truth about her true circumstances. Simon finds his sister on a bridge, but Annabelle tells him not to walk too close or “they’ll” kill her. She tells Simon to give them the QED (quantum entanglement device) device to them if he wants to see her alive. Later, Mark and a SWAT team find her in an empty van at a warehouse. Thankful, Simon quickly phones her, then runs off. Mark goes to the safe where the QED device is, only to find the device gone. Mark then questions Annabelle about her experience, and she syas she overheard her captors saying that Simon could cause another blackout.

Lloyd (Jack Davenport) feels guilty about lying on a televised interview, so Olivia (Sonya Walger) tries to ease his guilt. Lloyd confirmed that the blackout didn’t cause brain damage, but to be sure, he asks Olivia to show him some MRI records. The result: no brain damage. They both reveal their feelings for each other are growing and share an intimate moment. Just then, Mark comes over to Lloyd’s house to ask him where Simon is and sees Olivia there. Lloyd explains he doesn’t know where SImon has gone but that Simon is capable of anything and that he always has a plan.

Nicole (Peyton List) learns the whereabouts of Keiko (Yūko Takeuchi) – the woman in Bryce’s (Zachary Knighton) flashforward. Nicole goes to tell him, but Bryce then tells her that his cancer is in remission, and he’s fallen in love with her. Nicole then struggles with whether to share this information, due to her growing feelings for him.
