Kiera and Greg head to the Vancouver District Prison, as the members of Liber8 are led into the execution room. Kiera prepares with a group of other Protectors where she is reassigned at the last minute to the execution chamber itself to monitor the Liber8 members.
A small audience of onlookers is gathered, including Kiera's husband, Greg. He chats briefly with his boss, an older gentleman. When Greg sees Kiera in the chamber, he pleads with an official to get her out of the room but to no avail: Greg's elderly boss shakes his head when asked to get her out. Suddenly, Kiera spots Kagame toss something into a column of light in the middle of the group and runs toward them. The room erupts in a burst of blue light, vaporizing the Liber8 members and Kiera in the process. Greg stands there in stunned disbelief at the blackened crater where his wife was just standing. Greg's boss smiles.
Kiera awakes, relatively unharmed in a pile of flaming rubble. Her battle suit flickers as she attempts to comprehend her surroundings, desperately trying to contact CPS. She sees two of the Liber8 members running away from the rubble and chases after them.
Still unaware of her exact location, she tries frantically to contact CPS for backup. She reaches an unlikely responder: a teenaged hacker confused as to who has accessed his experimental encrypted frequency.
"Who are you, if you're one of the hackers that tried to get into my documents I'm gonna kill you"the teenager said as Kiera looked around confused.
She spots one of the Liber8 members, Lucas Ingram, and chases after him, cornering him in an alley. After injecting him with truth serum, she demands answers.
"Where am I?" Kiera questions as Lucas smiles.
"We went back 60 years"Lucas said with a smile.
Shocked, she learns that they've time jumped sixty years back in time to Vancouver; they were supposed to only jump back six years. When Kiera demands Lucas to tell her how they get back home, he replies sardonically: "You are home."
"I'm still here, I heard everything. Protecter, going back 60 years"
"What year is this?" Kiera asked the teenager.
"2012"the teenager says as Kiera looks around surprised."what year are you from."
"2077" Kiera said nervously as the teenager gasps.
Kiera's mysterious hacker has managed to track her location and sends police to her location. The police take Lucas into custody while Kiera's battle suit cloaks her with invisibility camouflage. She wanders around the city, confused and taking in her new surroundings. As she wanders the streets, she learns her new friend's name: Alec Sadler. He suggests that she needs food, money and shelter, so she uses her battle suit to commandeer an ATM for cash.
"Is there any place to stay?" Kiera questioned.
"Two blocks up, there will be a hotel" Alec Sadler said as Kiera begins to walk.
As she settles in to her hotel room, she floods Alec's computers with her CMR: cellular memory review, having recorded all of her visual and audio data captured during the day.
"Get out of my head, Alec."Kiera said Walking around her room.
"You can't shut me out. I built the system we're talking on, remember? But I understand you think by telling me what I'll become, it'll create some sort of paradox whereby my knowing, it won't actually happen? But what you may not know is that there's actually two schools of quantum time travel theory. On the one hand, you've already changed the future by going back in time. The damage is done, you can't stop what's already been started."Alec said as Kiera tilted her head in confusion.
"What's the other?"Kiera questioned
"That this journey is part of your own timeline from the future. That is to say that all these events have actually happened before, and you're just simply going through the motions, again." Alec said.
"Does that mean I'll get back to my time?"Kiera questioned with a slight smile
"If that's what happens, or happened. It's a little confusing, even for me."
Kiera takes her suit off and leaves on her t shirt and unders. She walks into the bathroom, picks up a soup and spells it. Kiera turns the sink on and washes her hands.
Alec watches Kiera, who is looking at herself in the mirror, through her CMR. "You're so pretty."
"Not cool. Turn it off, Alec."Kiera said walking to the night table. "Is it off?" She questioned as Alec agreed
As Alec reviews her CMR footage, he sees something familiar: a corporate logo with the name "SadTech" that matches a doodle in the back of one of his notebooks.
"Good night Alec" Kiera said.
When Kiera shuts off their connection for the night, Alec heads from his computer room to his farmhouse, where his step-father leads a political meeting of some sort in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Vancouver Detective Carlos Fonnegra surveys the scene where Liber8 and Kiera exploded into their new timeline. He spots Kiera wandering around the rubble and questions her about what she's doing there. She shares some information about Lucas when Carlos asks for her help. Kiera assumes the identity of Portland detective investigating gang violence and heads back with Carlos to interrogate Lucas.
Alone with Lucas in the interrogation room, he explains that they can't undo what's been done and they can't go back: "This has always been a one-way ticket." Lucas encourages her to hide and become a ghost. After threatening Lucas' mother – who will be born in just a few years from 2012 – he agrees to cooperate with Vancouver police to reveal the location of the remaining Liber8 members.
Having survived the time jump, the remaining Liber8 members are armed and ruthless, ambushing a police cruiser and killing two officers while stripping the car of its weapons and ammunition.
Kiera meets with Carlos' boss, Inspector Dillon, and her assumed identity is nearly found out when he receives a call that two of his officers have been killed. Suddenly, the precinct is flooded with calls as bank alarms trip around the city. Kiera explains that this is part of their tactics and leads a team of officers to the correct bank.
A firefight ensues and Kiera chases the Liber8 members into an abandoned building. Just as she's about to be overtaken, Carlos bursts in and engages in another firefight as the Liber8 members flee. Kiera realizes that this exchange of fire was yet another distraction and tells Carlos to get back to the precinct immediately. When they get back to the station, they find it a bloodied warzone. The other members of Liber8 have begun their new war on their own timeline and terms, having shot up the precinct and freeing Lucas. Carlos is devastated at the loss of life and unsure of this strange new companion with an inordinate amount of knowledge about this new gang that has appeared out of nowhere.
As she leaves the precinct and heads back to her hotel, Alec checks in with her, asking to know about the man he becomes in the future. As she walks, she flashes back to a memory in her timeline when she meets her husband's boss for the first time: Alec Sadler of SadTech.
