...and then we're seeing that notorious video from the pilot. Echo is the viewer, and Adelle joins her to remark that Caroline seems so innocent and unspoiled, but she wasn't. "Caroline Farrell left quite a trail of unhappiness in her wake, and not a few bodies." I won't really argue that point, Adelle, but rainbows haven't exactly been flying out of your ass for the run of the series either. Echo asks if Adelle's saying Caroline is evil, and Adelle gets the line of the episode: "Worse. An idealist." Hee. Talk turns to the missing wedge, and Echo admits she was glad when Ivy told them it was gone, but she still didn't take it. Adelle: "I only considered it briefly." Heh, nice.

In the lab, Ivy expresses suspicion of Echo, as she tells Topher again that if Caroline were to return, it's possible Echo would cease to exist or that something equally bad for her might happen. Topher, however, points out that Echo willingly went to the Attic for them, which has to be worse than anything dumping Caroline into her brain would do. Anyway, they stop bickering when Ivy announces that the "ghost chair's just been engaged," and they proceed to activate the empty device...

...and in D.C., as an Active, Apollo, is being imprinted, Bennett realizes that something is happening to corrupt the process. She guesses Topher's probably behind it, but that's all she has time to do before Apollo grabs her by the throat and pushes her against the wall. As he holds her there with one hand, he keys in a security code (not sure how Topher and Ivy knew what D.C.'s codes were, but let's say they successfully hacked that part of the system as well) and the doors to the lab open and Victor and Ballard come rushing in. Topher instructs them not to hurt Bennett, and after Victor powers Apollo down with a code word ("Gingersnap," which cracked me up for some reason), he leads Bennett out by the (good) arm. However, Ballard's attention becomes focused on a security camera containing Madeline's? November's? Hera's? image, and he informs Victor that they're not leaving yet. Addressing the question of how exactly they're going to extract her would probably detract from the dramatic tension, so that's probably why they didn't do it.
