Rita undergoes a series of tests of Laura’s creation to determine where she fits in the Bureau. She doles out paperwork for Rita to complete, but our girl still has no clue who she is. In 1917, Rita’s led to the Bureau of Normalcy’s “Meta Recruiting Lab.” We see Laura De Mille ( Michelle Gomez) spearheading the Burea’s meta lab. However, Cliff’s too preoccupied with his online life to help Vic with his existential crisis. Vic seeks advice from Cliff about the meaning of life - why did he become Cyborg? Oh, and he’s befriended a cam girl, Ginger. Next, Vic ( Joivan Wade) finds Cliff ( Brendan Fraser/ Riley Shanahan) succumbing to the siren song of online gambling.

In the present, Larry ( Matt Bomer/ Matthew Zuk) watches over Paul ( John Getz) while the latter feverishly mutters gibberish. At this point, the Brotherhood of Evil is going strong, and they’re hellbent on destroying the world. Meanwhile, we see Brain and Monsieur Mallah ( Jonathan Lipow) observing Rita’s arrival from afar.

They grill Rita regarding her identity, but she’s bereft of her memories. Rita’s greeted by a tough-as-nails farm woman, with the Bureau of Normalcy hot on her heels.
