...but just as they're heading into another building, Boyd intercepts them and asks Echo if she'd like a treatment. However, the impulse that's drawn her to Fremont is apparently stronger than the code phrase, as she refuses. Also, Boyd is now under the effect of the drug, as he chuckles to himself that he sure didn't maintain control over that situation. Hey, if incompetence weren't hilarious, the state of American comedy would be pretty grim indeed.

Starting with a closeup of a Rossum ad featuring Ambrose and the slogan "Because Minds Matter," we're back in the past with Caroline, Leo, and another activist couple, and as they eat they bitch about how evil Rossum is and how clear it is that they're hiding something. Caroline thinks the big secret is illegal animal testing, and says she wants to get footage of what's going on in the lab and put it up online to expose the company's misdeeds. Leo and the others wonder about getting past Rossum's security, and Caroline tells them she's working on it, but she spent four years "partying in the shadow of that building," and someone's got to stand up and do what's right. She adds that she's not asking the others to join her, but that's where she is at the moment, and while Leo beams with pride, I'm pretty sure the other two are thinking what a great friend she is for sparing them the awkwardness of having to tell her to go to hell.

In the lab, Victor is wrangling a bunch of suits that are looking around for the missing vial, and Laurence mutters under his breath, "Sure, now you're experts. Four hours ago you were discussing your love for applesauce." Hee. Like I hinted, he's another one that's funnier when he's tripping. Yes, Laurence amusingly futzes with his gun for a while, and then when Victor tries to tell him they've got fourteen subjects under sedation in the frat house, Laurence gets a rather hysterically maniacal smile on his face. That vanishes, though, when Victor tries to suggest they take him to Containment, and he draws his gun, but after a few seconds of tension, his wrist goes limp and he complains how heavy the thing is. Reed Diamond didn't make that much of an impression on me in the few episodes of Journeyman I watched, but I can't really blame him for that -- if Kevin McKidd couldn't hold my interest in that show, it wasn't going to happen. The point is, he's on my radar now, because he is making me laugh and laugh here. Victor helpfully relieves Laurence of his gun, and after he gets led away by another suit while complaining that "everything's heavy," Victor looks like he feels a migraine coming on as he makes a call to the security office to tell them their lead man has lost the stuffing out of his comforter...
