Alec introduces himself to Mia, and then realizes that he knows her from the time he spent in Psy-Ops at Manticore. Alec asks Mia what her specialty was, and Mia admits that it was "telecoercion." She stares into Alec's eyes for a minute and then says, "Hi! I'm Mia." Alec introduces himself, apparently having been convinced that he doesn't know her. He walks off, and Sketchy asks him about the new chick. Normal returns with the application. Mia asks to be a dispatcher, and gives Normal the twinkly eyes. He agrees. It's all very "these aren't the droids you're looking for." Max walks in and sees Mia. Max asks if she knows Mia, and Mia says that isn't possible since she just started working there. Max looks confused, but accepts it.
At Crash that night, Max tells OC how she had a weird argument with Logan earlier; Max complains that Logan asked for her help, but nothing she does is good enough. OC spots Logan walking in, and suggests that he might be coming over to apologize. Logan walks over, and OC makes herself scarce. Logan says that he got a tip that Dougie will be at the club tomorrow night. Max is disappointed that she didn't get an apology. She passive-aggressives a couple of "whatevers," instead of just telling Logan what her problem is. Logan doesn't get it, and leaves to get a drink.
Alec talks to Mia at the bar. Alec is sure that he knows her from somewhere. Mia insists that couldn't be true, and asks whom Max is talking to. Alec says it's her boyfriend, Logan, although they both insist that they aren't in a relationship. Alec adds, "It's psychotic." Mia gives him the twinkly eyes. "But sweet," Alec concludes. Mia asks if Alec likes Logan. Alec says that Logan is all about saving the world and doing good, and it's boring. Mia twinkles, and Alec adds, "But admirable." Logan walks up to the bar and exchanges greetings with Alec. Mia introduces herself and then says that Alec has something to say. Mia twinkles, and Alec tells Logan that he understands why Max admires him, and sometimes Alec wishes he had more purpose in life. Mia asks Logan if he has something to say, and then twinkles. Logan admits that sometimes he wishes that he were more of a free spirit, "and it must be nice to be a happy-go-lucky sociopath." Mia calls for a group hug, and Alec and Logan embrace. Across the bar, Max and OC wonder what the hell is going on. Alec and Logan snap out of their trance and wonder why they were hugging, and quickly part.
