Kerry is trying to deal with being on the outside with Cary within. David asks for help with using the chamber, but Kerry points out she is not the science guy. David wants to extend his psychic abilities beyond space and time to achieve multidimensional perception. Cary says its too dangerous but they're going to try anyway.

David is able to make contact with Future Syd. She says it's not possible for him to be there. She says she never thought she'd see him again like this. He asks if he's dead in the future and she says it's complicated. He tries to read her mind but he can't. He says he has to know why she wants him to help the Shadow King.

Future Syd reveals that David kills Farouk about a week from now in her timeline. She says they need Farouk for when things turn, that something much more deadly is coming.

Clark notes that David previously said he didn't know what Faroul looked like.

David and Farouk begin a psychic duel that manifests as a wrestling match. Then Farouk becomes a samurai. David becomes a tank. Farouk becomes a smoke cloud and then they wrestle again. Farouk snaps them out of it. Farouk says that if David helps find his body then he will be in David's debt, which means something where he comes from. Farouk promises not to kill anymore. David agrees to find the monk if he's at Division 3.

David leaves. Lenny talks to Farouk, suggests that now that Farouk is face-to-face with David that she can go. He points out that she's dead now, and her body is dead. Lenny asks if Farouk can make her a new body. He asks her what she would do. She'd live, she'd die again...and then what?

Kerry is still struggling with having Cary inside of her. At Cary's request, she begins singing a tune. Cary emerges. Kerry asks Cary to fix it so that she doesn't have to live through the boring stuff. Cary notices strands of white in Kerry's hair.

Melanie tells David about Oliver's dream of building Summerland and now she never had a dream of her own. Farouk's words are still ringing in David's head. Melanie says she was wrong when she told David that his ability was a gift. Instead, she believes it's an obstacle. She tells him to leave, take Syd and settle down and live his life.

David finds Syd up on the roof. She's behaving like a cat. Then he hears her voice telepathic coming from a cat nearby and realizes she's switched bodies with the cat. David tells Syd that he knows who took him in the orb, that it was her from the future and that she told him to help Farouk find his body. Syd says the music box they found was her's from when she was a kid and she didn't like seeing it again. David said it was Farouk who did that, not him. Syd agrees to go along with it. They go searching for the monk, who is in the room with the chattering people.
