Cynthia is brought to the station. She says she went to watch the test then ran away when the woman was killed. She explains they were working on a laser induced plasma channel gun, which is the same as a lightning gun. Floyd says he suspects Neox of falsifying their tests to get more money.

Meanwhile, Alan gives Amita a locket and explains his deceased wife wanted him to give it to a daughter, but he is doing the next best thing which is giving it to his daughter in law. Alan says the day would be his wife's birthday.

Nikki learns the body of the woman might be a Neox contract liason named Allison Williams. Colby and Nikki head to Allison's apartment to retrieve some DNA to match the body.

Charlie gets a call from Otto. After looking at Cynthia's data they learn that Neox was working on a plasma driver that was supposed to disable vehicles and incoming missles. The team goes to the airbase and see a drone hovering over them. Charlie figures they have been spotted. They feel a tingling sensation and wonder if the weapon is being charged. The drone turns off its lights then flies off. Floyd tells the team he tracked the drone heading to the hanger. The FBI arrive at the building and find a group of men loading the drone on to a truck. Nikki finds Drew, the guide CEO of Neox, then arrests him.

The FBI team brings Drew to the station. He swears he doesn't know who killed the engineers who were also his friends. Charlie figures the engineers were overambitious, rushed to produce a test weapon system, and got themselves killed.

Drew says the company wanted to secure more funding. He admits Allison volunteered to be the test subject. He explains the engineers tested the equipment without telling him.

Later, Floyd arrives at Charlie's office and tells him that Department 44 thanks them for helping the government. He explains that Neox was greedily formed and would have received billions more if it wasn't for them.
