Jarod is lured to Arizona by a mysterious message that turns out to be from Mr. Lyle.

Late one night, Jarod receives e-mail from Sydney, summoning him to Dry River, Arizona. There, Jarod meets Deputy Marilyn Miller. He asks if she has seen a man matching Sydney's description. To Jarod's surprise, Miller arrests him. Meanwhile, Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots hit another dead end in their search for Jarod. Then a Sweeper finds an envelope addressed to Miss Parker, containing her mother's Centre identification badge. The expiration date has been crossed out and replaced with the date her mother died.

Back in Arizona, Deputy Miller is summoned when her son, J.R., collapses. Jarod goes along and quickly diagnoses a potentially fatal heart condition. Miller says the boy is on the waiting list for a transplant, but donors with AB blood Jarod's type are very rare. Later, Sheriff Delmont drives Jarod to an auto junkyard, where Jarod is surprised to see Mr. Lyle, still very much alive. Lyle hits Jarod with an iron bar, knocking him unconscious.

At the Sim Lab, Sydney receives Jarod's reply to "his" e-mail, but tells Miss Parker he never sent a message about Arizona. Miss Parker leaves immediately. Angelo plays with some items Broots found at the dead end. He tries to pick up a bottle, but discovers he cannot do so. Sydney realizes it is because the person Angelo is empathing has no thumb. Sydney calls Miss Parker to tell her Lyle is still alive. Miss Parker is skeptical, but Sydney reminds her Lyle faked his own death once before.

Back at the trailer, Jarod regains consciousness. Lyle explains that the Sheriff is helping him because he has kidnapped the Sheriff's pregnant wife and is holding her hostage in a small chamber buried in the desert. Lyle says his goal is to return Jarod to the Centre, so the Triumvirate will make Lyle the permanent head of the organization. Meanwhile, in town, Miss Parker finds the Sheriff, who denies seeing Jarod or Lyle. Miss Parker exits, but waits outside and follows the Sheriff when he leaves. A helmeted motorcycle rider follows Miss Parker.

At the trailer, Lyle gives Jarod a hypodermic injection and readies a scalpel. The Sheriff returns, and shortly thereafter, Miss Parker arrives. The Sheriff arrests her for trespassing, and drives her back to town. Lyle starts to cut Jarod, but someone hits Lyle from behind. It turns out to be Jarod's brother, Kyle, who was also thought to be dead. Meanwhile, at the Sim Lab, Sydney receives an envelope of surveillance photos of himself, Miss Parker and Broots. Angelo senses the photos were taken by Kyle. Sydney summons the Centre helicopter for a trip to Arizona.

Kyle tells Jarod that he escaped from the van accident last year before the explosion that supposedly killed him. He has been following Miss Parker and the others for months, hoping they would lead him back to Jarod. Kyle says he has summoned Sydney and the others, and plans to have his revenge soon. But Jarod tells him it is better to save lives than take them...and right now the Sheriff's wife, with less than an hour of oxygen left, desperately needs saving.

Back in town, Miss Parker escapes from jail by overpowering Deputy Miller when she brings dinner. Miss Parker goes back to the trailer and pistol whips Lyle for leaving the cruel reminder of her mother. But Lyle manages to gain control and grabs Miss Parker's gun.

Jarod and Kyle find the place where the Sheriff's wife is buried, just as her oxygen generator runs out of gas. They dig and rescue the frightened woman with only moments to spare. They return her to her husband, then head back to the desert. When they get there, Lyle appears. He holds Miss Parker and aims her gun at Jarod and Kyle. Shortly thereafter, the helicopter appears. Miss Parker manages to break away from Mr. Lyle. Kyle takes aim and shoots Lyle in the shoulder. Lyle returns fire, shooting at Jarod. In an act of self-sacrifice, Kyle jumps in front of the bullet. Sydney keeps the Sweepers at bay as Jarod holds his dying brother. During the confusion, Mr. Lyle disappears. The Sweepers make an attempt at capturing Jarod, but Sheriff Delmont holds them off with a gun, allowing Jarod to escape. Jarod loads Kyle's body into the helicopter, then flies off to a local hospital, where he donates Kyle's heart to Deputy Miller's son.
