Elsewhere, a supermodel discovers her bodyguard beaten and lying broken on her apartment floor. Back at the Archive, Jordan (Justin Chon), Gunter (Vinnie Jones), and Dina (Lenora Crichlow) are working together to distract Cameron from reading about the break-in. Kay walks in and loudly mentions she is investigating the break-in.
During the interrogation, Kay notices Cameron is trying to flirt back with his former ex. They actually broke up because he kept his brother a secret. Cameron’s heart breaks just when his ex introduces him to her new lover (Jesse Bradford), a tech genius.
