- Hello. Good morning.

- Hi, Mrs. Gogol. - Hello.

- Well, hello, Mrs. Gogol. - Great to see you.

Nice to see you.

Hello.

Good morning.

- Who the fuck does she think she is?

- You, except upgraded.

- Hi, Mrs. Gogol.

- Dad? - She's like, uh,

a showroom version,

whereas you're more like a fixer-upper.

- Dad?

Is it really you?

- Yeah, kind of.

I'm in your brain right now.

We're like manifestations of your consciousness.

It's all a little creepy, if you ask me.

[TV chatter]

- She took my body.

- This has been real confusing, 'cause she told me she was you.

And pretty convincing, for the most part,

except she was consistently delightful.

Not your personality,

but, uh, I wanted to believe.

- Okay.

How do I get back into my body?

- First, you got to find her.

Other Hazel. - Uh-huh.

- And you got to overthrow her somehow.

- Okay.

- Only one of you can live

in the real world.

- Why are you saying that like there's two solid options here?

- Oh, well, if I'm being honest,

right now, she's got the stronger case.

- Are you fucking kidding me?

Whose side are you on here?

- On your side.

But if you're both you,

aren't I on her side also?

Hmm? It's a conundrum.

- No, no! That's not the... no!

That-that... she's the imposter!

[unsettling techno music]

I'm gonna find her,

and I'm gonna take her down.

- All right. All right, easy.

Let me go with you, 'cause...

you're not gonna know where you're going.

You should probably bring a flashlight too

'cause the journey to the center of your brain

is no picnic.

♪ ♪

- So what, we just walk around aimlessly

till we find her?

- I wouldn't call it "aimless."

It's more like a journey to sift through

all the junk in your head.

You still got a lot of emotional barriers

that are holding you back.

- Why don't you try, I'm in this mess

'cause my fucking psychopath husband copied me?

Try that.

- But your copy seems to have it together.

Why not relax? Let her handle it?

Come on, whatever she does, you still get credit, right?

It's still you.

You know, cognitive science says

selfhood is an illusion, huh?

A result of your mind projecting into the past

or the future.

All that really exists

is consciousness and immediate experience.

- I have no idea what that means.

- Me neither, actually.

Your brain just told me to say it.

You must've read it in a book somewhere.

- She killed Herbert?

- Not technically.

- Well, I-I mean, he looks pretty dead.

- I can't picture Hazel's double doing this.

She was always in a way better mood than real Hazel.

They're a way to keep bodies stored safely

In high school, I turned down an invitation

to skinny-dip with Vicky Deaver,

so Pete Randazzo went instead of me.

Afterwards, Pete said seeing Vicky's breasts

changed his life.

And this aura of inner peace and joy,

it settled over Pete.

Everything went right for him from that day forward.

So sure, it's natural for me to ask,

"If I had seen Vicky's breasts that day,

"could I have become county property processor

instead of Pete?"

Maybe.

talking to each other in their own language?

We had to shut down that whole program.

It was too risky.

Too scary, actually.

And then Byron had to go and upload two chips

onto the same network.

Idiot.

How do we know that we're extracting the real Hazel

- Bennett was actually a beast,

the way he took him down.

We get Hazel back yet?

- Not yet.

There's a lot of contradictory

brain wave activity.

We should actually make sure she doesn't seizure.

Bennett, where does Dr. Hau keep the medications?

- It's over here.

So chances are pretty good

we're gonna be able to bring him back, right?

- I don't know, Bennett.

- Man, life is strange.

Do you ever think about how different things would be

if Hazel never escaped?

Herringbone wouldn't have gone rogue going after her,

and then he wouldn't have had his identity wiped.

And if he didn't have his identity wiped,

he wouldn't have had to sell you out to Byron,

which put you in the pasture cube with Herringbone.

But then, if you both weren't in there,

you wouldn't be here,

saving Byron and Hazel.

- Sorry, come again?

Herringbone told Byron what exactly?

you selling the chip to your ex and letting Hazel go free.
