Taking Faraday's job, David murders an Arasaka lab director, but shows signs of cyberpsychosis in the process. He ends up shooting an innocent lab assistant in the process, traumatizing himself as he realizes she was a mother of a young man not unlike himself.
Meanwhile, Arasaka Counterintelligence is investigating the mysterious deaths of Arasaka personnel. Believing Militech to be involved, they arrange an assassination attempt on Faraday, who narrowly escapes. With Militech refusing to provide him protection due to his lack of results on recovering data on Arasaka's cyberskeleton project, Faraday makes contact with Arasaka instead. Which was their goal all along.
Arasaka is willing to forgive Faraday for Tanaka's death, in return for him tracking down the netrunner responsible for hiding Tanaka's data and killing their agents. Meanwhile, David continues to show more symptoms of cyberpsychosis, as well as suffering from trauma over killing an innocent secretary that reminded him of his mother.
Doc recommends that David's scale back on his implants, only to be attacked by David, thus souring their relationship. David once again tries to recruit Lucy, but she insists there's something she has to take care of first, and David considers breaking up with her.
Lucy then detects another Arasaka agent looking for Tanaka's data and heads over to kill him, only to fall into a trap set by Faraday and Kiwi.
