Recap

Joe shows Janet the hidden cameras he knows about and starts blacking them out, while Tom watches him and tries to get a clear feed on the other cameras Joe doesn't know about. Janet wonders why he let it continue and Joe insists that he kept her in the dark for her own protection. Janet wants him to get her out, but he warns that he's no longer one of them and he was kidnapped just like thousands of others. Joe insists they were doing it to do good, but she doesn't believe him and goes downstairs. She tells the others what Joe has told them, that Joe and others have been kidnapped for over 50 years. Joe comes down and tells them that the place was created by an organization devoted to peace and progress. They analyze data about the world's progress and make bets on people they believe will have a great influence. When Moira objects, Bill snaps at her and beats Joe when he tries to intervene. They pull Bill off, and Joe insists he's trying to help. Bill tells the others that they're all scum if they believe anything Bill says...

Episode Quotes
Joe: The truth is, I only know a little. This place, this organization--operates like a foundation or think tank, devoted to peace and progress. They analyze vast amounts of information about the way the world is going, and they make bets based on that information--intelligent bets.
Charlie: What kind of bets?
Joe: Bets on people. My understanding is that people are selected because something about them may suggest that they may grow to have great influence on the world.

Joe: Look, I can explain what happened.
Janet: You'd better work hard on that explanation. Someday I might want to hear it.
