Airdate: Sunday.30.November.2003

Hiding out in a warehouse, the team devises a plan to frame The Covenant
for Sydney's extraction: Lauren will tell Lindsey that she escaped The
Covenant but they're still holding Sydney in return for the Rambaldi
device. Sloane will confirm the story with Lindsey. Jack and Vaughn will
say they were investigating Syd's trail. Lauren needs to look as if she
was mistreated; Syd gladly punches her.

Sloane also suggests Syd contact a Yale researcher named Dr. Edward
Brazzel, who's invented a non-invasive technique for treating long-term
amnesia. Jack and Syd later track her secret coordinates to a location
near the San Andreas fault, where they find a severed hand bearing a
Rambaldi tattoo. Meanwhile, Lindsey has the FBI arrest Dixon for impeding
a federal investigation. Lindsey is suspicious of Lauren's story but
agrees to trade for Syd.

The group visits Brazzel's lab and find him and his assistant Kaya to be
extremely eccentric. He believes dreams contain memories so, through a
cocktail of dangerous drugs, he fools the brain into entering a lucid
dream state. Once in this state, Syd must follow the thread of her last
memory — and be wary of new, traumatic memories.

Brazzel administers the drug and Syd enters the dream state. It's a surreal
mix of past and present. She remembers being picked up by 3 hooded men
after her fight with evil Francie. They inject her with something. She
regresses to childhood — she cuts a birthday cake, which becomes a severed
hand, and sees the face of a strange man. Back to the hooded men; she
follows as they take her limp body to Room 47. Lauren guides her away,
saying "You know better," then tries to strangle her with hanging plastic.

In the real world, Brazzel revives Syd as she goes into cardiac arrest.
When she awakes, she kisses Vaughn passionately, believing herself still
in a dream.

Syd says it was Lazarey's hand. Marshall's forensics prove the hand was
attached to a living man only 4 months ago. Jack says the incriminating
tape could have been a performance. Syd tells Vaughn that Lauren strangled
her, but Brezzel says it was probably just a representational figure. Syd
goes back under.

Sloane meets Lindsey, who says he'll make the trade but wants Sydney
assassinated in what appears to be a Covenant doublecross. Lindsey tells
Sloane, who's wary of entrapment, that he knows what he's up to and gives
Sloane an envelope containing some sort of proof.

DNA from the Kremlin confirms the hand belonged to Lazarey, which means Syd
didn't kill him and Lindsey has nothing on her.

Syd is dreaming again. She's in a car, called a St. Aidan, with Dixon. She
takes the box that contained the severed hand and walks into her
apartment. Weiss and Marshall are there gambling. She enters the hanging
plastic. Lauren tells her to leave. Syd chokes Lauren, who becomes a
Sydney doppleganger. They struggle, the double says to trust Lazerey.
Sydney shoots and kills the double and enters Room 47. "Oh my god," she says.
