Setting up for the season cliffhanger: mini recap ep-3.10, spoilers.
LiannXXX5 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
If you speak Canadian then you watched last Sunday or online at the Showcase website, otherwise you can watch tomorrow, Friday June 6th, on SyFy. Another slow episode with no future glimpse or battle scenes, more intrigues and setups for an expected cliffhanger season finale coming up in three more weeks.

The bad corporations are back again: this time a pharma company trying to breakout into the big-time by selling the Liber8 street drug (ep-2.03) as an Alzheimer's cure. Inspector Dillon's daughter and Liber8 mole is working for Gautuma Pharmaceuticals as a janitor, spying for Liber8, and spying on Liber8. Kiera and Carlos get on the case after wondering why Kellog is buying lots of Gautuma stocks.

Alec continues his descent into sociopathy after last episode hacking up dead Green-Timeline (ep-3.01) Kiera's body to steals her future-tech CMR device, he now is studying it to get a jump on his "inventiveness", with Halo a first application on Jason to heal his craziness. Later Jason reverts back (or worse, watch future episodes to find out Jason's fate).

Alec is introduced to the proto-Corporate Congress of 2014, or as he calls it, getting a wedgie from the Fortune 500. Alec strikes back, putting Julian Randol on one revenge track for the frame job Sonmanto did to Julian, and setting Kellog to do the 2nd prong of flat-lining Gautuma stock prices. Along the way Kiera outs Dillon's daughter and spoils her role as Liber8-bait, with the line being: "No more Bettys".

Kiera puts clues together and sees bank video of her amnesiac house-guest taking the future device from the bank vault a few days before she was present at that bank when the brain-hacked robbers hit it. She goes to Catherine asking to inspect that object again and is stonewalled. The Guardians of history, Catherine and Agent Warren pressure Kiera about her guest, but she stonewalls back. We learn that there were "several" temporal events 11 weeks ago, so amnesia guy might not be alone.

Alec has decoded a better copy of the last memory storage on dead-Kiera's CMR, sees two faces he does not know involved: Curtis Chen and amnesia-guy both shooting down Kiera. Alec makes a copy for Kiera.

Alec makes a "sendoff" for dead Kiera, a "service", which gives him the opportunity to destroy dead Kiera's body and hide his tech theft, but living copy of Kiera detects the CMR is missing even as the body is vaporized. Shortly later, Kiera confronts Alec who withholds the video he made of who killed Kiera.

Meanwhile, spliced in with all these events, is Kiera and Carlos' investigation of Gautuma leads to her stealing some samples of their wonder drug ("flash") and later giving the memory drug to her amnesiac house-guest.

Amnesia-Guy, now Brad Tomkins, remembers stuff but not the most important part, that he fired the kill shot on other Kiera. The episode ends there leaving wonder if he will suddenly spring on Kiera without further warning.
