Motivated by their shared desire to uncover the secrets of their shared dreams, Lucy and Jules decide to experiment with Jules’ drugs, leading to an euphoric high.

Jack (Avan Jogia) monitors and encourages them to sketch their aspirations.

This time, Lucy tells Jules that Dr. Kira Manning (Keely House) is responsible for her creation, but Jules doesn’t recognize her.

Frustrated by their fragmented memories, they decide to piece together clues from their dreams using paint.

While painting, they uncover important items such as a clock and a church steeple, triggering flashbacks that uncover a deep connection to their past.

However, the two still struggle to piece together the meaning of their dreams.

During their exploration, Lucy hears a metallic sound, prompting Jack to intervene and dismiss it as a hallucination induced by their altered state.

Lucy and Jules’ frustration with their memory gaps has been palpable throughout the show, and their shared quest to uncover the missing piece of their dream promises more excitement in the upcoming episodes.

Certain symbolic clues uncovered during their painting sessions lead them to new revelations, while items such as watches trigger additional flashbacks, slowly uncovering hidden memories and bringing them closer to understanding their origins.

It is conceivable that their shared memories come from the same real person who inspired them both.

The woman was possibly the victim of a fatal attack that led to her death, and had an affair with Dr. Kira or Paul Daros (James Hiroyuki Liao), who later cloned her.

The question why two clones of the same person are necessary remains unanswered. Lucy could have been the prototype, and Jules could have been the improved version.

Overall, the stage is set, and with the stakes higher than ever, Lucy and Jules must race against time to uncover the truth about their existence.
