FlashForward Episode 1.15 Queen Sacrifice

Charlie is upset that Mark is moving out of the house. She gives her daddy a friendship bracelet to replace the one she thinks he lost. Charlie says, "It'll keep you safe from the bad guys until you come back home." Let's hope so because it's what Mark was wearing as assassins were hunting him down in his flash forward.

Mark, Demetri and Wedeck watch the video that Dyson Frost recorded back in 1991. Frost says that if they are watching this tape then the global blackout was a success. He also reveals that he's had hundreds of flash forwards. In nearly all of his futures, he ends up dying on March 15th, just like Demetri. It would seem their fates are on a collision course. The message ends with Frost saying the next move belongs to Mark Benford.

Mark follows a lead to identify one of Frost's former competitors in a chess club. He also cracks a code from another message Frost left them from 1991. It's a phone number to a prepaid cell phone. Mark leaves a message for Frost before heading off to San Francisco to meet his old chess partner. But they arrive too late. This man from Dyson Frost's past is dead. He took two bullets to the head just before they arrived.

Mark and Vogel hatch a plan to flush out the mole in their office. The team is sequestered in a conference room as FBI headquarters is swept for bugs. A micro-transmitter is discovered inside Mark's computer keyboard. Someone with access to his office planted it there. It could be anyone in the conference room.

While interviewing Janis, Mark wants to know just what she was doing during the 13 unaccounted personal breaks she's taken since the blackout. In addition to her trips to the fertility clinic, Janis admits that she's been checking up on a fellow agent: Marcie Turoff. Marcie has a brother who's very sick. She's been paying for his expensive health care. Tough to do on a government salary.

Video surveillance footage reveals that Marcie signaled her handlers on days key information was leaked. When Marcie realizes she's been exposed as a traitor, she grabs another agent's gun and blasts her way out of the building. She makes her way to the ground floor where a man on a motorcycle is waiting to help her escape.

They speed around the perimeter of FBI headquarters. Janis comes out of a side door firing her gun and striking the driver several times. The bike crashes into the fountain area. As Marcie runs, Janis gives chase and subdues her in the water. The mole has been caught.

Keiko Arahia is still in the United States searching for the man in her flash forward: Bryce Varley. She reads "Power English" books as she frequents the sushi restaurant where they had been seen together. Keiko puts her mechanical engineering skills to use by fixing cars for a tough guy named Emil. Keiko hardly fits in with the other illegals in Emil's charge, but she can turbo-charge an engine with the best of them.

After Nicole accompanies Bryce to his chemotherapy treatment, he offers to treat her to dinner. As they chat outside the restaurant, Bryce leans in and kisses Nicole. She pulls away, knowing that he's destined to be with Keiko, who is just a few feet away having dinner with Emil. As Bryce leaves a message for Nicole the next day, an immigration van speeds by. Again, Bryce is so close to Keiko. She's inside the van, having been arrested for working without a proper visa.

While out at an amusement park with Charlie, Olivia notices a strange man following them. The stranger identifies himself as Special Agent Crowley. He says Mark assigned him to be their security detail. Later, Olivia gets another surprise when Lloyd visits her. He and Simon believe that the formula he wrote in lipstick on the mirror may have been for some kind of protection against the blackout. Olivia remembers a reference to an anesthetic which makes Lloyd realize that QED stands for Quantum Entanglement Device.

Now that the mole has been exposed, Dyson Frost believes it's time he and Mark Benford meet. He'll be in touch. Down in the parking garage, Janis tells Simon that the autopsy on his Uncle Teddy reveals that the CPR Simon gave him was quite aggressive. She knows that Simon murdered him to send a message to the folks who were pulling his strings. Janis says, "Message received." Simon realizes there were two plants inside the FBI. No one would ever suspect the second mole is Special Agent Janis Hawk.
