In this episode, someone is wreaking vengeance for the death of a Aaron, a boy who was shot and killed in the grounds of a house – a security house of the future. Run on an absolutely lethal system, the house essentially protects itself, with laser-guided guns, no less. So the tragedy of the death of a boy is causing … quite the disruption (forgive me, I couldn’t resist) for the company, even one year later.

Even moreso for the couple on whose grounds Aaron was killed. They’re being swamped with death threats and hate mail, and the episode opens with their deaths.
The boy’s mother immediately becomes suspect number one, but her alibi is quickly sorted. Kennex plays dress-up, with Stahl, to try and find the mercenary hacker that might have been responsible for the couple’s death. I think Kennex was wearing more make-up than Stahl.
Long story short, it comes to light that a friend of Aaron’s, Emily, was behind the hacking, and the deaths. He was on his way to see her that night, cutting through the grounds of that house because that’s what you do in the future? Case solved, no mess no fuss.
Entirely boring, to be honest, if it weren’t for the story revolving around Dorian. He’s having his own memory issues, and in a hilarious scene with Rudy as his roommate, we find out that Rudy has found something in Dorian’s memory banks that shouldn’t be there. He gives Dorian a plausible enough explanation, but to Kennex he explains that someone put memories in Dorian.

My first thought was Vaughn – hot on the heels of his appearance, we find something wrong with Dorian. Could Vaughn have somehow planted it there? Are these Vaughn’s memories?
The memory in question is of a boy in a hospital bed, playing with a train – it’s a tender image, from the POV of someone sitting back and watching him – like a father and his son, which given Vaughn is Dorian’s creator, makes sense. By why Dorian? In fact, I don’t think we ever got an explanation as to why Dorian was still easily accessible as an android partner for Kennex at the beginning of the series, especially if the entire range of androids had long been scrapped. Why keep him around?
Curious questions, right? Two episodes to go until some answers – hopefully – as there’s still no word on whether Fox is going to renew this show.
