Cut to an office where Jonas and Ruth are watching video of some town where there are dead bodies all over the ground. Including dogs! "My God," Jonas says. "How many casualties?" Ruth reports that she's spotted fourteen, but she thinks there are more. She got this footage, she says, from "a contact," and it comes from security cameras. It's always good to know the guard at the mall. They get bored just watching people come in and out of Casual Corner. They discuss the fact that Jonas has gotten nothing from the military, and the media has been kept out of Paradise as well. Ruth thinks it seems like "a biological attack." Jonas says he wants her to cool out; they don't want to get into "a pissing match with the Army." The whole Army? No. That would be messy.
Elsewhere, Jaime is at a restaurant with a friend she suddenly has (probably one of the sitters from last week, but I ain't checking) and she's saying that she really acted nasty to Becca and isn't sure what's wrong with her. Oh, I don't know -- the robot parts? The friend tells her not to be so hard on herself, what with the dead fiancé and bratty sister -- and just then, here comes the other friend. Wow, her friends really look alike. Maybe they're from cloning! Her whole life is a lie! I...yeah. Never mind. Jaime puts her hand up to her ear as we hear a loud squeaking, but when they ask, Jaime says her ear is ringing. Heh. Friend Number Two announces that she's just gotten into law school! Yay! That will be so much fun. She should totally do that. As the friends burble on about visiting New York and such, Jaime gets uncomfortable and excuses herself, fully twenty seconds or so after her second friend showed up. I guess that would be the friend who smells.
