Episode Recap
 
In Chicago, Mr. Jarvis is flirting with a teller as bank robbers come in wearing sound-protection gear and masks. As Jarvis makes a call to his wife, the robbers fire a device and sound waves shakes the building.



In South Dakota, Myka is outside making a phone call while inside, Pete is playing table tennis against a mirror belonging to Lewis Carroll. Artie gets word of the newest robbery in Chicago just as his computers go out. Leena comes in as Artie convinces the computers to work. An unknown hacker breaks through the computer firewalls and Artie tries to trace the signal back. The hacker counters and as Artie goes to work, Leena notices his aura looks like hell. Pete comes in and asks where Myka is, and Artie says she’s on her phone outside. Pete runs out and tries to warn Myka as his football comes back out of the sky. Artie and Leena come out and Artie tells them that a third bank was robbed in Chicago and the agents are going to investigate.

In Chicago, Myka and Pete check out the bank and wait for the security tape. Agent Bonnie Belski with the FBI comes in and demands to know why they are there. She knows that they’re on special assignment and tells them to stay out of her way. Pete admiringly watches her go.



Pete gives Dickinson a call. The Secret Service director convinces the FBI to cooperate with the agents and Pete admits to him that he still can’t discuss what he’s doing. Myka calls her mother again and talk about her father’s retirement party, insisting her father doesn’t want her there. Pete points out that if his father was alive, he’d go to see him.

While Artie tries to track the hacker, Pete goes to FBI headquarters and recreates the crime scenes in Belski’s office. Each robbery took place during rush hour, and another rush hour is coming up in six hours. Belski begins to wonder exactly how much Pete knows.

Myka tells Artie that they went to Dickinson to get access, and he abruptly informs her that warehouse security requires that she come through him. She shows him the tape and he notices that one of the robbers has some kind of mechanism inside their coat. All of the customers ands staff have short-term memory, and Artie suggest there might have been a visual signal that induced the amnesia. Myka interrupts him to notice that Jarvis had a cell phone on and she asks Artie to track the call. While she comes up with the Jarvis’ name, Artie pinpoints the hacker.



Myka meets with Pete and asks what he’s been doing with Belski. Belski comes in with one of the tellers, Laura. They play back a recording of Jarvis’ call and Laura goes into a trance. She comes out of it with no memory of what happened. She can only say that she feels loved. Myka and Pete tell Artie what happened and he figures that it triggered something in the limbic system, and that the victims have to hear it directly the first time. Artie starts to run it through a deconstruction program but Pete says he recognizes it as a song written by Eric Marsden. Artie does a check on Marsden and his music and realizes it’s a tonal match. He figures it’s an original recording and gives the agents Marsden’s address outside of Chicago. Once he hangs up, Artie reveals to Leena that the person who hacked the system is Daniel Dickinson. Artie vows to stop him.

Pete and Myka go to Marsden’s down-and-out home. They’re greeted by Jessilyn, Marsden’s former back-up singer. Marsden is dipolar and catatonic with only a year left to live due to liver cancer. They try to talk to Marsden and he says Myka has a beautiful voice. As Myka tries to get an answer from him, Pete notices photos of a girl. When Pete plays the tune on the piano, Marsden seems to recognize it. Jessilyn says that Marsden was looking for something special in his music, but his music rights was stolen by Jed Canning of Windy Lake Records. Canning is sitting on Marsden’s music and Jessilyn suggests they talk to him. As the agents leave, Pete gets Myka to explain that her family is having a party. She doesn’t want to be there and admits that she never got along well with her over-domineering father.



At the record office, Pete and Myka wait to see Canning and notice that the office is in poor financial shape and the secretary, Stephanie, is busy putting on perfume. Canning comes in and admits that Marsden’s music isn’t selling well, but he’s had an anonymous buyer recently who made an offer. He shows them Marsden’s files, including some experimental stuff. Canning notes that Jed Fissel, Marsden’s recording engineer, was the one that got Marsden into experimental New Age material. Fissel is now a cab driver. Pete and Myka describe what they’re looking for and Canning insists he has everything Marsden wrote. His secretary, Stephanie, comes in to say she’s leaving after a half day.



Later, Stephanie meets with the robbers, including Jessilyn and Fissel, and warns them the agents are on to them. Jessilyn tells the others that they need more money and they head out.

Myka locates the records on Fissel and admits that she’s missing something. Pete gets a call from Belski telling him that she’s gone over the rush-hour patterns and they have a bank that fits. Pete figures that a cab driver might know the patterns and decides to go. Myka doesn’t believe it’s a solid lead and stays behind.

At Dickinson’s office in Washington, Artie slips in and hacks Dickinson’s computer.

In Chicago, Myka calls her mom about the party. A waitress drops a tray and Myka connects the crash to the echoes in the bank.

Artie is going through Dickinson’s computer files when Myka calls him. She figures the music resonates with the marble and steel of particular banks and asks Artie to check other banks that fit the pattern. Artie breaks off the call when Dickinson comes in and uses an artifact camera to transform him briefly into a life-sized photograph. Artie then determines two banks fit the pattern.



As they stake out the bank, Belski wonders exactly what Peter does. She also notes that Myka is wound pretty tight and wonders about the Denver incident. Belski notes that Myka and Martino were rumored to have an affair, cheating on Martin’s wife. Artie calls to tell Pete what Myka has learned and that Myka has gone to the next bank.

At the bank, the robbers plug in a record of Marsden’s music, immobilize everyone present, and steal the money. Myka runs up wearing earplugs and attacks them but they flee down an alleyway. She brings down one of them but the others escape. Pete and Belski arrive and Myka reveals that she’s captured Fissel.



In Washington, Artie transforms Dickinson back to normal and demands to know why he did it. Dickinson denies hacking into the Warehouse 13 computer.

As Pete and Myka arrive at FBI headquarters, Pete hears the acoustics and tells Myka to put in her earplugs. Stephanie and Jessilyn arrive and play the music and everyone is immobilized except Myka. She tries to stop Stephanie from grabbing Fissel but Myka gets enough of the music to be unable to stop them. She manages to slip her cell phone into Fissel’s pocket.



Artie and Dickinson go over Dickinson’s computer and discover that someone tapped into Dickinson’s computer. Artie asks for 30 minutes alone with the terminal. Artie’s communicator rings and he takes the call privately. Myka asks him to track her cell phone. Dickinson tells Artie that it’s his office and he’s not leaving. Artie has no choice but to go to work with Dickinson watching him.

Pete and Belski are feeling the aftereffects of the music and Myka tries to explain to him what happened. Pete says her perfume smells nice and Myka says she isn’t wearing perfume. Pete realizes that the perfume belongs to Stephanie, and Myka got some on her during the struggle.

Artie gives them the location of the cell phone. They go there and find Jessilyn, who says it was never about the money. They hear the piano playing and go in to discover Fissel playing. The trio used the robbery money to buy the music back from Canning. They’ve recovered all of Marsden’s music. Stephanie is Marsden’s father and she’s given her father what he needs to hold on. Pete refuses to call Belski, insisting their only problem is the record with the music. Myka goes outside and calls her mother, and asks to speak to her father.



At Dickinson’s office, Artie is busy taking apart the computer to trace the signal. He gets hit with a burst of electricity and finds himself briefly floating in a void with someone talking incoherently to him, saying to make it stop.
