Athena is alarmed to find Khoury manufacturing child synths for barren couples but is still anxious to find Leo for help with her daughter. Pete introduces Karen to the seraph, whom they name Sam and trace to Qualia and Athena though she is not forthcoming. Pete is also concerned that Karen is hoping to give herself a new name whilst Max decides to break with Leo, altering his encryption code and seeking to establish his own community of synths. Mia returns to the Hawkins house but as their original automaton. To restore her full functions they contact Mattie, who has joined Leo and Hester, who mistrusts her. Mia leaves to join Leo whilst Mattie returns home to find Niska who is on the run.
