- A fisherman is out on the lake in a rowboat, and pulls up a severed hook on his line.
Harry lies in his bed, not needing to sleep, and waits for 6 am. It's 3:26. He considers how much he has to do, finding the body, finding the device, finding the pieces of his ship that broke off, find Max, exterminate the human race, and get milk and cereal. Unable to sleep, Harry checks the Internet for information on how to become a better doctor. When 6 a.m. comes around, Harry gets up.
Two snow patrol members from Promise are out in the woods and gossiping. They stop and each toss dynamite .
Harry is busy digging in the snow, and finds the third piece of his ship. He hears the dynamite go off, sees snow cascading down the hills, and takes cover beneath a tree as the avalanche goes by. A helicopter flies overhead, and Harry realizes that he's not alone.
Back at the cabin, Harry works out on his map of the area that the avalanche covering his search area has set him back at least a week. Kate arrives at his door and introduces herself, and asks if she can come in. Harry eventually lets her in, and she says that Max told her that Harry is an alien, and broke into his bedroom and tried to kill him.
Harry secretly grabs a knife and moves toward Kate. She turns her back to Harry, and as he raises the knife, Kate wonders why Max is making things up. Harry hides the apple he's testing his anti-gravity device on, and Harry assures her that he's not an alien. Kate shows Harry the pictures of the alien that Max has drawn, and doesn't know what to do. She asks Harry that there's anything they can do, and Harry suggests that the Hawthornes move. Kate points out that she and Ben have jobs and they're not moving.
Dismissing his comment as a joke, Harry suggests that Max is just looking for attention. Kate agrees with Harry, and admits that she works during the day. Harry abruptly tells her that it's her fault and she can go, and pushes Kate out the door as she goes.
In Patience, Max discovers that his pictures of Harry have been torn down. Harry is waiting nearby and greets him, and tells Max that no one believes him. They exchange insults and Max goes to school.
At the clinic, Ellen asks Asta to get some prescription pads. Ellen finds them in Sam's desk, but realizes that one is missing and goes to see Harry. He's watching Jay sleep on a couch, and he tells Asta that he wants sleep so badly and explains that he's trying to learn how to sleep. Asta tells him to stop watching Jay sleep because it's creepy, wakes Jay up, and asks if the teenager has seen Sam's prescription pad that is missing. Jay hasn't seen it, and walks out. Harry has been listening in, and Asta asks why he can't sleep. He says that he can't find the on-off switch in his brain. Liv comes in and says that they need Harry at the town hall because they found a dead body in the lake.
Harry and Asta go to the town hall, where Mike is addressing the townspeople who have heard about the body. When Harry asks D'Arcy if they found his leg, D'Arcy tells him that it was a foot, not Harry's leg. She suggests that Harry be a little more sensitive about discussing bodies, and then asks if they can see the foot. Ben says that it's an ongoing investigation. Harry figures that the foot belongs to the real Harry.
Mike tells everyone that the recently lost Sam, and finding the foot means it's a good thing because they're dealing with a serial killer. It's a good thing because serial killers don't run away and hide, but wait to strike again. He figures the serial killer is in the room looking for his next victim. Mike says that they'll run DNA testing on the foot, and Harry figures that if they confirm the foot's DNA then they'll realize he isn't the real Harry. Ben asks Harry if he has anything to add, and Harry says that he's scared.
At school, a bully knocks Max's bag out of his hand. Max's tinfoil hat falls out, and the bully walks off knocking a bag out of Sahar's hands. Max picks up his things and goes over to Sahar, and helps her pick up her bag. She stares admiringly after him.
At the town hall, Harry looks at the severed foot on ice. Liv figures that a boat propeller hit the body and cut the foot off. She jokingly says that she'd think it was Harry's if he didn't have two feet, and says that the medical examiner will let them know if he gets a hit on the DNA. Liv talks about how she did a DNA test on herself, and discovered that her father's best friend is her father. She doesn't recommend the tests.
Once Liv leaves, Harry grabs the bucket with the iced foot in it and goes to the clinic. He matches the foot against "his" foot, trying to see if they're the same. Harry figures that it is his foot. Asta comes in to Harry's office, and he hastily tosses the foot aside. She tells Harry that the Briscoes are there for their appointment and leaves. Mike comes in and accuses Harry of stealing the foot and Liv's favorite bucket. Harry says that he can help because he's a pathologist, and Mike tells him to run the DNA sample. When mike refers to the serial killer as a "he", Harry suggests that the killer could be a woman and Mike is being sexist. Mike doesn't care and tells Harry that he'll wait until Harry gets him the sample.
Harry goes to an exam room where the Briscoes are waiting with their baby. He sees a poster about circumcision and gets an idea, and decides to cut the foreskin off the baby and give it to Mike as the supposed skin sample.
The baby has been sick for two days, and Harry checks its chest and then asks if it's circumcised. Asta tells Harry that he doesn't need to check the baby, and Harry talks about the virtues of circumcision. Later, Harry gives the foreskin to Mike and claims it's the foot sample. Mike takes the sample and the bucket, and leaves.
At the school, Mike is eating lunch by himself. Kate, a teacher at the school, sit down with her son and Max says that he can't be seen hanging out with his mother. She insists on sitting with him, even when Max offers to pay her to leave. Kate tells Max that she loves him, much to his disgust, and leaves after kissing him on the head. The other kids see the whole thing and laugh, and one of them throws one of the Max's alien posters at Max. Sahar comes in and sees what happens, and sits down with Max. She tells Max that she believes him.
Harry returns to the cabin, and finds Mike, Liv, ben, and divers on the beach. Mike says that they're searching for the body. Ben says that they don't have a budget to keep searching the lake, and Mike says that they're not going to stop searching the lake until they find the body.
At the clinic, D'Arcy comes in and tries to cheer Asta up after Sam's death. She tells Asta that maybe she needs to get her mind off of it by going out with her They go to the lake beach, start a fire, and have some beers while watching the search party look for the body. D'Arcy figures that they have a "live show" with a bloated corpse as a finale, and talks about the man she was dating ghosted her and she's hoping he's on the search party so she can get some closure.
D'Arcy points out that J.T. is having a party later, and Asta talks about how they got out of Promise and chased their dreams. Her friend points out that reality chased them back.
Ben is on Liv's search boat, and as she comes in for the night, Ben starts throwing up. He tells Mike over the radio that he's seasick, and Harry on-shore listens in. Mike tells Ben and Liv to continue the search, and Harry worries.

She tries to flirt with Harry, who has no idea what she's doing. Asta drags D'Arcy out, and outside D'Arcy tells Asta that Harry is jealous but hiding it.
At the party, Asta and D'Arcy meet up with their high school friend Lisa. High schoolers are there, and Lisa realizes that Asta invited her to a high-school party. Lisa isn't thrilled, and D'Arcy ends up dancing with a high schooler without initially seeing his face. When she does see his face, she sees his braces and realizes that it's a high-school party. Asta and Lisa come over and tell her that J.T. has a son named J.T.

Mike and Liv come ashore and go to Harry's cabin. He answers the door when they knock, and Mike tells him that they will come back in the morning to continue the search. Mike's police dog Cletus runs into the house, barking, and runs to the cellar with the body in it when he picks up the scent. The others chase after Cletus, and finds him pawing at a freezer. Mike opens the top and finds packages of bison meat inside. The officers leave, unaware that the real Harry's body is beneath the packages of meat.
The next morning, Asta finds Dan in the kitchen. He's making breakfast for his daughter, and watches her as she eats. Asta finally tells him that her baby was a girl and breaks into tears, and she thought the baby would be better off without her. Dan tells her that the bond between a mother and daughter can never be broken. The connection between Asta and her daughter will eventually bring them back together, and Asta nods in agreement.
At the town diner, Asta goes to get some coffee and runs into Harry. He shows her that he's been buying padlocks and she admits that she's done the same, and Asta jokingly wonders who he is. Asta leaves and Harry sits down to eat. Max and Sahar come in, and Max points Harry out to Sahar. She says that she needs to get a closer look at him, goes over, and spills Harry's water in his lap. The two kids run out, and Harry looks out the window and sees them both.
At the clinic, Asta puts a lock on the desk drawer where the prescription pads are kept.
