WARNING: Contains spoilers for Episodes 1 -4 Two arranges for Six to work with a Village spy (called an "undercover") named 909. An undercover's job is to find and report people who dream of another place. Six is wary it's a trap. "Of course it's a trap," says Two, who wonders if Six can use the opportunity to his advantage. In New York, Lucy tries to leave Michael's apartment, but he grabs her and demands she tell him the truth. Six and 909 are assigned to watch 1955, a history teacher who has been turned in by one of his students. Six goes undercover as a surveillance teacher. Observing 1955's lesson on the history of Twos, Six asks, "Who is Number One?" A student, 1,100, responds, "There is no Number One." The concept of Number Two is humility, she explains, reminding residents that they are all public servants. 313 fears for her own well-being when she starts to sketch dreams of another place. She decides to distance herself from Six: "People who get close to you, they don't tend to live very long," she says. At night, 909 and Six observe 1955: He enjoys swimming, and he dines alone. 909 finds his hobbies suspicious – "We're looking at a man who doesn't want to go home," he says. A group of joggers run by; 909 explains that they're good candidates for dreamers. Six notices 313 running ahead of the group. In surveillance class, Six gives his students an assignment: "Find out who we're working for." Two hesitates before giving the sleeping woman a black pill. She wakes, and the two embrace. "Why this time?" she asks. "Can a man not converse with his wife from time to time?" Two says. 909 and Six perch themselves on the roof of 1955's house and watch him using the Village's special "Roach Cam." 909 receives a mysterious call, and asks Six to fetch coffee from his truck. Six snoops through 909's surveillance log and discovers he is 909's real mission – and that 313 is suspect. Two and his wife, M2, speak of their life "before" – M2 wants to know how 11-12 is doing. Two gives her a sip of wine, and she goes catatonic again. At the sound of drilling, Two notices a roach cam being placed in his garden. Back on the roof, 909's ringing phone alerts 1955 to their presence. Staring at the roach cam, 1955 cuts his own throat. 909 and Six drop 1955 off on the steps of the Village hospital. The next day, 147 plays with his daughter, 832, in his backyard. Nearby, a massive hole in the ground looms. Fearing the undercovers are watching her, Six searches 313's roof and finds a roach cam. A nearby camera catches him in the act. Two meets with 909. He notes 11-12 has been acting oddly and wonders if Six has had any contact with him. 909 denies it, but Two doesn't trust him. Six begins to trail 909, following him to the Go Inside Bar, where he discovers 909 is romantically involved with 11-12. Lucy reveals she read Michael's reports. He asked interesting questions, she says, and must know more than he realizes because Summakor wants him stopped. Six visits 1955 in the hospital and asks for help locating other dreamers. 1955 says he doesn't know anything. The conversation is interrupted when Six senses someone lurking outside. He runs after the stranger, but loses them. 1,100, his surveillance student, hides in a nearby tree. The next day, Six is summoned by Two and given a new assignment: To spy on 909. Six goes to 313 and tells her to be careful. She shows Six photos of him on her roof. "You're an undercover," she accuses, walking away. At his house, 909 suggests that he and 11-12 take a break -- Two is suspicious. Six walks in and finds them embracing. Six tells 11-12 to take all surveillance off of 313, or he'll go public with knowledge of their affair. Two tells 11-12 he doesn't trust 909, and suggests that he be sent to therapy to "dig those secrets out of him." 11-12 goes to 909 with a knife. "It's OK," says 909, turning his back to allow 11-12 to stab him. Six arrives at 313's house just as she's being taken away by a black van. He runs to 909 for help, only to find him bleeding to death. "Tell me the dreams are true," 909 gasps. "They're all true," says Six. Lucy asks Michael why he resigned from Summakor, but he can't focus on the question. "You wanted to know; you stopped. Why?" she asks. "Because you're already there." Six finds 11-12 drinking at the Go Inside Bar. He wants help finding 313, or he'll tell Two about 909. 11-12 sends Six to the tunnels, a dark cavernous place inhabited by exposed Dreamers. In the tunnels, Six finds 1,100, who in turn helps him find 313. As the three of them search for a way out, Rover appears. Six springs awake in his apartment, then drifts back to sleep. Men in white coats scurry out his front door. Two tells 11-12 to forget 909 and find someone his own age. Lucy says that she hears the name Curtis whispered on the Solutions floor, and insists they go to Summakor immediately. Michael kicks her out. She writes her number down and tells him to call her if he changes his mind. In the Palais Two garden, Two gives 1,100 an ice cream cone and congratulates her for spying on Six. 1,100 admits she was also spying on Two. She'll have to go in for treatment, Two says – after she finishes her ice cream. Read more...

WARNING: Contains spoilers for Episodes 1 – 4

In New York, Michael calls Lucy’s cell phone. He hears a phone ringing outside of his door and finds Lucy passed out in the hallway. She feels out of
sorts and asks to go in his apartment, but before they do, she wraps her arms around him and they kiss.

In The Village, Six wakes to the sound of a woman on his television, announcing it’s time for him to be romantically matched.

At the hospital, 313 avoids conversation about her dreams and encourages Six to try the matching service.

At Palais Two, Two shows 11-12 a large hole in the ground, but dismisses its presence as an “ambient anomaly” due to the weather.

Six goes to the Modern Love Bureau. Skeptical at first, he is surprised when the system matches him with 4-15, a blind woman who looks just like Lucy in
New York.

Michael is haunted with visions of a black van. He and Lucy decide to go to Summakor, but they can’t keep their hands off of each other.

Two speaks with 313 in the Clinic. He knows she is a dreamer, and that’s why she’s going to help him betray Six. “If you betray the one person you love,”
says Two, “then there must be something you want more than his love.”

Six meets 4-15 at the Solar Café. She explains her blindness is the result of a childhood trauma. Six tries to convince her they’ve met before in another
life.

Lucy and Michael snuggle in bed. Lucy tries to explain she’s normally not so impulsive. “It’s like the dials are spinning and suddenly I’m letting go,”
she says. “Maybe that’s how love takes us,” Michael responds.

At Palais Two, 11-12 steals samples of M2′s pills. Two, watching on video, catches him in the act. 11-12 takes the samples to 313 in the Clinic, and asks
her to determine their contents.

The next day, Two warns 11-12 that once he knows the truth about the holes and his mother there will be no going back. 11-12 insists he wants to
know.

Six and 313 visit with 147 and his family (his wife, 21-16 and his young daughter, 832). 147 points out the hole in his backyard. At first he’s not sure if he
should report it, but then he decides to call the authorities. While the adults are distracted with champagne, 832 falls in the hole and vanishes.

In The Village, loudspeakers announce that to combat ambient weather anomalies, every home should be given a pig. “Swine breath is a proven
atmosphere stabilizer,” the announcer explains.

Six confronts Two about the holes, hoping to help 147 find his daughter. Two asks Six if he wouldn’t rather be preoccupying himself with 4-15. Six almost
takes the bait, but demands answers. Two tells him the girl is gone.

Later that night, 313 injects a clear liquid into Six and 4-15 under Two’s supervision. “Let him go where love is terrible,” Two urges. “It’ll crack him right
open, and then we can see the Six inside.”

The next day, Six continues to bond with 4-15. He presses her father to learn more about her blindness, while her father urges him to consider marriage.

313 meets with 11-12 and reveals the ingredients in his mother’s pills: One is a heavy sedative, another a hallucinogen, and the third is of an unknown
origin.

The disappearance of 832 wears heavily on 147 and 21-16′s relationship: 21-16 blames 147 for not watching their daughter more closely.

Two invites 313 to Palais Two, where he shows her a sedated M2. Two asks if there is any way to reverse love. 313 says it must be possible.

That night, 313 confesses her feelings for Six as he falls asleep. Men from the Clinic arrive and take him away. At the clinic, 313 injects Six with a different
syringe, just as Two approaches.

Six wakes, and Two reveals that his feelings for 4-15 have been artificially created using Gene Symmetry Therapy. Two asks if Six would still like to marry
4-15. “Yes,” smiles Six.

Lucy and Michael wake up together the next morning. Lucy knows she’s behaving out of character and tries to leave, but Michael wants to get
breakfast for her. Lucy wants oranges.

Six asks 4-15 to marry him. On their wedding day, 313 shows up at the church to tell Six his feelings for 4-15 won’t last. As 4-15 approaches, 313 kisses
Six. 4-15 runs into the desert. Six catches up to her, moments before Rover attacks.

“I have to go,” Lucy tells Michael in a recorded message. “I’m not safe. Whatever you do, stay away from…” but she’s interrupted before she can
finish.

Six runs to an unconscious 4-15. “You’re called Lucy,” he tells her. “We met in a place called New York.” She tries to deny it, but eventually relents: “I’m
Lucy,” she says. Two brought her to The Village to love Six, and to break his heart.

Later, Six approaches a distraught 147, who wants to jump in another hole to find his daughter. Six convinces him to do so would be suicide. As he holds
147 back, 4-15 jumps into the hole.

Michael walks down the street with a bag of oranges. As he approaches his building, his apartment explodes.

In New York, M2 opens her eyes.
