That's basically death, as far as Edward's concerned, considering he will cease to exist after the procedure.

The goons grab Edward and start to haul him off to Tony's lab, when Paula walks in, having a conniption of epic proportions. She tells them Paula is not her name, and starts waving a gun around, calling Mavis and Trumble "twisted" for all the terrible things they did to her and made her do. Edward takes it upon himself to do some verbal judo to talk her down, and is able to close in on her and grab her gun. Ellen starts crying and freaking out, and the goons decide to haul her off to Tony's lab instead. I know this is Skinner's doing, but I'm still not entirely sure what she did to Paula or how, so I'm just going to decide that Skinner is a witch. You can't tell me that makes less sense than anything else we've seen on this show.

Once she's gone, Mavis brilliantly plays along, saying, "Paula must have accused Edward to disguise that fact that she was the broken operative." Hee. Alfre Woodard played that perfectly.

Well, Trumble's convinced! Because apparently there's no way two operatives could possibly be broken at the same time or anything! Witch hunt adjourned! He apologizes to Edward again for doubting him. Edward tells him an apology is not necessary, and walks out.

Mavis and Tony, in Tony's lab. Ellen has to be terminated while she's awake for the procedure to work, and she's terrified and screaming and her brain is getting sucked out by Tony's memory suction helmet. Mavis is somehow able to tune it out enough to wonder out loud why Skinner puts her ass on the line for Edward all the damn time.

AJ Sun throws either a welcome back party or a going away party for Ellen, I can't tell which, seemingly in the middle of the night. Henry walks around taking in the party, while Edward's latest voicemail plays. He's injected them with a "completely harmless" "nanovirus" that will be activated and kill them both should Janus ever try to eliminate Edward. "We're in this together, so don't get any bright ideas." Gah, these two. They remind me of middle school. But with nanoviruses and cooler cellphones.

Up next week: Angie's (maybe) a spy! A spy for the invading robot hordes! I knew it!
