Echo helps deliver a baby, talking the parents through the process. Her memories are then wiped and she asks Topher if she fell asleep. Echo leaves the room and sees Sierra. The two blankly talk about exercise. Victor joins them and they eat lunch together. Topher tells Boyd that he is nervous that the same three have been having lunch together. Topher thinks they may be retaining some memories the same way bison or salmon do.
Adelle talks to Atalo Diakos about their actives. She then gets a call and looks through Victor's files. She tells the man on the phone she understands he needs closure. She returns to Atalo and the two agree on a deal.
Echo gets dressed as a stripper and goes to a bachelor party. The hotel manager tells the group to go to their room to finish their party. A short while later, Echo runs out of the room and calls for help. The bachelor follows her, but Echo finds the hotel manager. She tells him the men hurt her and he leads her to a room. He locks the door and she tells him to let her go. He pulls out a wad of cash to compensate her for letting the men off the hook. He tells her that she can have $10,000 if she signs a statement that she will not pursue legal action. Echo declines the deal then beats the man up. She makes a call and says she's in. A group of men then infiltrate the building.
The men meet with Echo. One man makes a comment about Echo's job and she starts to choke him. She releases him and goes over the plan on how they will break in to the vault. They blow open the wall and walk through a series of halls. The men talk to each other about how they never heard about Echo before. She tells them that she keeps a low profile. Echo then works on the vault lock. She gets it open and the men are impressed. They enter the vault and see it is filled with stolen pieces of art. Echo hands a man a drawing of what they are supposed to recover. He sees it and realizes they are there to retrieve the Parthenon.
Paul goes to his apartment and finds Victor in the background. Paul points a gun at Victor and asks about a girl. Victor asks Paul to help him avoid being killed by the Russian mafia. Victor says the mafia knows he talked to Paul and he is a dead man. Paul says he will help him if he never hears from him again. Paul tells Victor to stay in his apartment while he sees what he can do.
Echo and the men figure out that Greece hired them to steal the artwork. Echo tells the men that the client is none of their business. One of the men takes a piece of art, then stabs another guy as he runs out of the vault. The vault doors close and Echo calls Boyd. She tells him to stop the man fleeing with the piece of art. As she hangs up the phone, she hears a loud noise. She then asks the men if she fell asleep.
Topher asks Ivy to buy him some groceries. She refuses, but he tells her that he will teach her what he knows. They then see a monitor and realize there is a problem. Topher calls Echo's phone, but she doesn't answer. Echo begins to cry and the men get angry. One of the men tries to calm Echo down, then slaps her.
Boyd stops the man with the stolen art and demands the bag. He refuses, but Boyd pulls out his gun. The man threatens to destroy the art. Boyd gets the bag and the man runs away. Boyd then shoots him in the leg.

Topher tells Adelle and Laurence about Echo. He says she is on a special skills felony mission. He then tells her that Echo isn't answering the phone. They listen to Echo's last call and hear the noise. Topher freaks out and says that he thinks the noise was a remote wipe. He tells Adelle that he can't undo it. Topher says being wiped is traumatic. He is concerned that Echo is experiencing extreme sensory overload and may slip into a coma. He says they have to help her.
Echo tells the men that she can get them out, but is confused. One of them reminds her that she told someone on the phone that she could open the door. Echo then says 'I try to be my best' over and over. Echo looks at the art and one of the guys tries to talk to her about the meaning of art. The other man gets annoyed and looks for a way out.
Adelle gives Sierra the same Taffy program that Echo had before she was wiped. Sierra yells at Adelle for not letting her handle the Parthenon job to begin with. After some bargaining, Sierra agrees to take the job.
Topher tells Ivy that Echo getting wiped must be part of a conspiracy. Topher then calls Boyd and realizes that he doesn't know Echo was wiped remotely. Boyd calls Adelle and asks how they are going to get Echo out. Adelle tells him they are working on an outcome, but he should prepare himself for the possibility of failure. Boyd then asks the man he shot where the vault is located.
Echo hangs out with the man who was stabbed. He decides that he is going to inject himself with poison to avoid going to prison. The other man takes the needle away and says they are going to find a way out.
Topher talks to Ivy about who could be trying to steal his job. He says the only person he knows that could achieve a remote wipe is dead.
Sierra tries to call Echo, but she doesn't answer. Sierra tells Adelle and Laurence how Echo and the others can get out. Sierra begins a countdown. Echo finally finds her phone and Sierra walks her through the process of getting out of the vault. Sierra instructs Echo to remove a vial of resin from her bra and a screw from her boot. Echo assembles the device, gets a drill and goes to the door. She drills a small hole, then sprays the resin inside. Echo continues to drill, but triggers the alarm. One of the men gets angry and smashes the phone. Adelle thanks Sierra for her services, then sends her out to be wiped. Laurence tells Adelle that it looks like they are going to lose Echo.
The men watch a monitor showing the guards approaching the door. One of the men hands Echo a gun and tells her to shoot at the guards. The guards walk in and the man points his gun at Echo as he orders her to begin shooting. Echo says she would like to go. She sees the needle and injects the man holding the gun. He falls and fires his weapon as he drops, causing a shootout between him and the guards. Echo goes to the stabbed man and he tells her she can get out around the corner.
Boyd makes his way to the vault. He arrives and sees Echo with the stabbed man. She asks Boyd to fix the man, then says she is not broken. Boyd leads them both out.
Paul returns home and Victor freaks out about him being gone for so long. Victor asks Paul what his new identity is going to be. He tells Victor that he was misled. Paul says he knows how to use a body to read a message from the Russian mafia. Victor tells Paul he can't let him die, but Paul says no one is going to care.
Echo returns to the dollhouse and is wiped. Meanwhile, Adelle examines the piece of the Parthenon. Topher walks in and tells Adelle that the remote wipe didn't do any permanent damage to Echo. Adelle tells Topher that Victor is ready to be wiped. Topher tells Adelle that he thinks Alpha did the remote wipe which means he may be alive. Adelle tells Topher that she is upping his security clearance. Topher realizes he was right about Alpha. Topher says he's scared.
Echo swims some laps in the pool. She then runs into Sierra and flashes her a smile. Echo looks in the mirror and starts to draw her face in the steam.

I enjoyed this episode. i think it was a little more developed than some of the other episodes. It was fun to watch two different actors take on the same role. I thought Sierra's performance of Taffy was a little more believable. I have a harder time seeing Echo as a hardcore felon. I like the addition of someone knowing how to wipe the actives remotely. That makes the cases a little more exciting. I guess they'll have to figure out a way to communicate other than cell phones. One problem I have with this show is that they don't disguise the operatives at all. I would think that the actives would run into someone who has seen them before and that could cause a problem. I think it's amusing that Echo, Sierra, and Victor all gravitate towards each other. I wonder if they will let anyone else into their clique.
