Dressed in a seductive gown, Sarge prepares a romantic dinner for her and Mauser. He enters the lab and reminds Sarge that he's not programmed for sex. She presents a microchip to Mauser that, when inserted into his skull, will bypass certain moral inhibitions. Mauser grants his permission and Sarge injects the chip. The two embrace passionately, but Mauser's excitement quickly turns to rage and he begins to strangle Sarge. She shoves him away and Mauser starts firing lasers from his eyes. Hel and Cleopatra enter the lab and Hel unsuccessfully tries to voice-override Mauser. During this process, Hel learns that Mauser was initially designed to kill. While the ladies argue over Mauser's condition, he escapes and starts to make his way to a secret control center, where a mysterious woman tracks his movements.
Meanwhile, Voice nervously guides Hel and the others to Mauser's location. With gauntlets drawn, the three enter unfamiliar territory and realize that Mauser's target is Voice. Mauser transforms into a Betrayer and penetrates a force field in the center, slaying four guards in the process. The team locates Mauser and he reacts to the sound of Sarge's voice. They again attempt and fail to deactivate him and Voice commands Hel to annihilate him. Sarge shoots, but Hel disarms her and Mauser escapes.
Mauser bursts into the control center and the woman's face is revealed. Convinced they've actually found Voice, Hel is startled to hear Voice transmit over her receptor. When the woman oddly addresses Mauser as Edward, he morphs out of Betrayer form and introduces the team to Cara, the wife he has not seen in 12 years. Mauser explains how the chip Sarge inserted prompted memories of both Cara and his Betrayer life. Suddenly, a Betrayer enters the room and encases Mauser in an energy web. The Betrayer orders Mauser to guide him to Voice and the two disappear.
They locate Voice's chamber and Hel, Sarge, and Cleopatra plead with Mauser to stop before Voice's security is compromised. Sarge walks to the path of Mauser's laser fire and speaks firmly to him while the Betrayer breaks into Voice's chamber. But the Betrayer returns and threatens Sarge. Mauser suddenly returns to his old self and the team destroys the Betrayer. Sarge apologizes to Mauser for installing the chip and Hel contemplates entering Voice's lair. The four peek inside the chamber, only to find it abandoned. Hel finds a disturbing picture and the group returns to the Command Chamber. Mauser and Cara share one last embrace while Hel secretly examines the photo of an unfamiliar woman with a man who strongly resembles Creegan without the harlequin makeup.
