She responds quickly, stopping his attack and wrapping her IV line around the man’s neck. She released, him, aghast and wondering how she’s gotten those skills.

;Summary
 
Holly sits on the edge of the bed, holding a gun in her hand. The gun feels disturbingly confrtomble in her hand, due to the muscle memory edited into her. Holly is assigned to kill her original, because she killed her husband and went off grid. Her gun is set to only harm her original, and Holly is given four days to hunt her original down. If she fails, she will die, and if she succeeds, she can replace her original and returned to normal. Skyler shows Holly a virtual replication of the murder scene, which took place in their apartment. Skyler doesn’t include the body in the simulated room, but there are signs of a struggle. Skyler plays a recorded report of the murder, and the report lays out the details of the murder. Jonathan was killed with a knife, and his head was mutilated, spiraling lines carved into it. Angry but with little other choice, Holly sets out to find and kill her original.
