The episode begins in the Sahara Desert three months earlier. We see a young boy playing with a toy truck, before a ball of fire crashes to the ground. The boy searches through the wreckage and discovers an identification tag for Sean Bennigan. Back at home, Claire (Lily Rabe) chats with Henry about his new friend. The electricity in the home goes bonkers and Claire answers the door to nobody. John Doe (Milo Ventimiglia) is free and he immediately recovers a bag full of his belongings.

They speak about Minx’s new friend, Drill. Wes speaks about his relationship with Lena (Kristen Connolly) and insists nothing will change. Once he leaves home, Claire follows him and stops his car. She immediately hounds him about Sean. She shows him the sketch of Sean and questions why he wouldn’t come home.
Meanwhile, John Doe visits a storage unit and looks at his cache of information relating to Drill. At the hospital, Harper Weil (Abby Ryder Fortson) speaks to the doctor about her mother, Amanda (Autumn Reeser). Dr. Benavidez (Catalina Denis) insists Amanda is fighting. John Doe collects everything, while Claire speaks to Harper, who refuses to say whether or not the sketch is Drill. Harper insists she has to win, in order to get her mother back. Claire attempts to convince Harper to give up information, but she refuses.

Meanwhile, Minx plays a game with her friend and wins. Minx convinces her friend to play a new game. She introduces her friend to Drill, who she insists is magic. Claire and Jessup speaks to the doctor, before they watch John make his escape. Claire tells Jessup that she believes John is her husband. At the office, Wes watches footage of Sean walk away from the crash. When he returns home, the house is being searched by the FBI, because compromising files were downloaded from his account. He argues with Lena about his cheating.

Minx studies over a wiring diagram. The doctor gets into her vehicle and discover John inside. He pulls a gun on her and insists she is going to help him do something.
Review
Well, a decent episode, but it seems like we’ve seen all of this before. The big cheating scandal is nothing new. John quickly getting a new tattoo, although he is on the run, is somewhat silly. Some of the acting is a little shaky, but the mystery of the show is good. For that, a 5.5 out of 10 is deserved.
