Plot synopsis

Sophie (Samantha Mathis) continues to look into the death of her fiancé (Scott Bairstow) by following Inga Fossa (Sarah-Jane Redmond) into a run down military installation where Fossa uses a portal to move back to Harsh Realm. Fossa enters however Sophie is locked out. Fossa materialises in Santiago City where she informs Santiago (Terry O'Quinn) of her plans of conquest.

In Harsh Realm, Hobbes, Pinocchio (D. B. Sweeney) and Florence (Rachel Hayward) attempt to gain forged ID chips so they can enter Santiago city and gain access to the portal. They find the man they need for the job, just as Waters (Max Martini) and a team of commandos raid the building and capture Florence. The rest manage to escape through a glitch that leads them directly Santiago's barracks.

Hobbes manages to break into the chamber where the portal is and with reluctant help from Inga Fossa, they enter. Fossa tells Hobbes that unless he kills Santiago now in Harsh Realm there would not be a world for Hobbes to return to as Santiago plans to destroy it. Hobbes decides to stay in Harsh Realm as Fossa gives him the letter Sophie wrote him. She also gives him the key to the cell where Pinocchio and Florence are being kept.

In the real world, Sophie has been waiting for Inga Fossa to return. Fossa is surprised but lies to Sophie that she couldn't get the letter to Hobbes.
