 What We Know

Episode 1x01 - "Origins"

  • Micah is extremely intelligent, in this episode Niki finds him building a new "logic board" for his computer.
  • Lives with his mother Nikki Sanders. We don't know anything about his father ... yet.

Episode 1x02 - "Don't Look Back"

  • Micah spends the majority of this episode either waiting for Niki to come pick him up from her friend's house (where she dropped him off while she went to go clean up the garage) or sleeping in the back seat of the car while Niki drives out to the desert.

Episode 1x03 - "One Giant Leap"

  • Desert outside Las Vegas. Niki Sanders digs while her son Micah sleeps in the back seat of a red convertible. She finds a body in a shallow grave. It wears a skull ring, which she takes. She opens the car’s trunk, revealing two dead men in garbage bags.
  • Niki finishes burying the bodies. Micah wakes up. They go to Niki’s husband’s mother’s house. Grandma is happy to see Micah, but not Niki. Niki shows her the ring, which was worn by “D.L.’s” crew. She believes it’s proof that “D.L.” is guilty of stealing $2 million from “Linderman,” and murdering his accomplices. Grandma believes “D.L.” has been framed, and that if he had that much money, he’d have left the country and taken Micah with him. Grandma wants Micah to stay with her. Niki won’t have it, and tells her, “You have no idea what I’m capable of.”
  • Highway outside Las Vegas. Niki and Micah are on their way home. Micah’s been quiet. He doesn’t understand why his mother believes his father is guilty, but he knows the police will never find him. His comments make Niki suspect that Micah knows where D.L. is. Before she can get the information out of him, they are pulled over by the police. The cop tells them that Mr. Linderman wants to see Niki. Niki and Micah have no choice but to go with him.

Episode 1x04 - "Collision"

  • An Office in the Casino, Las Vegas. Niki and Micah are escorted into the room by thugs to meet Ms. Sakamoto, Linderman’s assistant. Sakamoto lets Micah leave the room, and then offers to eliminate Niki’s debt if Niki seduces a would-be congressman flying in from New York. Niki protests, but has no real choice.
  • Texas Tina’s house, Las Vegas. Niki works on her makeup in the bathroom mirror. Tina enters, wondering if Niki’s still seeing someone else in the mirror. She is. She’s having terrible, violent dreams. Something tore in half one of the thugs Linderman had sent after her, and she thinks its “someone else in me, with me.” Tina thinks Niki saw something so horrible that it “broke a part of you.” Micah enters. It’s game night, and he wants to play Scrabble. Niki has to go out, and Tina volunteers to take her place. Micah’s worried. What Niki did in the garage was just acting. What he knows she’s going to do that night isn’t. She apologizes, surprised and unsettled by the realization that her son knows about her profession. This one job is something she has to do, and it will solve most of their problems.
  • An Elevator in the Casino. Niki sees her reflection split in half by the elevator doors. One side changes expression as she watches. The other side shifts uncomfortably. The doors open and a thug reaches out of the elevator to drag her in by the throat. He threatens to hurt her if she doesn’t go back and finish the job. Niki doesn’t change her mind. He then threatens to hurt Micah. Niki’s expression changes, and she says, “Niki isn’t here right now.” She turns tables on the thug and beats him mercilessly. When the elevator doors open and he falls to the floor, she steps on his temple with high heels and warns him that she’ll kill him with her shoe if he ever threatens “our” son again.

Episode 1x05 - "Hiros"

  • Niki enters and calls for Micah, but finds two strange men and a police officer in her living room. Micah and Texas Tina are in the kitchen with more policemen. The cops showed up a little while ago looking for D.L. A detective shows Niki a picture of her husband. D.L. was spotted nearby an hour ago, and the police want to know if he’s tried to make contact. Micah protests that his father’s innocent, but Niki hushes him. Niki thinks the police should have caught him months ago. They had, and had him in custody two days ago but D.L. slipped his cuffs and escaped. Niki grows agitated. D.L. is a killer. He’s been following her and he’s done things. When the detective tries to find out what he’s done, Niki dodges the question and demands protection. If D.L. is nearby, then he’s come for something and Niki won’t be able to stop him. A radio call interrupts to announce that a male has been spotted heading toward the back door. The police take up positions with guns ready. The door opens and in walks Ando. He raises his hands slowly, confused, sees Niki and waves very carefully
  • Ando sits, handcuffed and surrounded by cops. Niki recognizes him from her web site, knowledge of which makes the detective roll his eyes. Since they have chatted so much online, Ando has come to her hoping that she could help him. The persona Niki projects on the web is not who she is. Ando now understands this. The cops could hold him for trespassing, but they let him go at Niki’s urging. The police leave a car out front in case D.L. shows. Niki goes into Micah’s bedroom to kiss him goodnight and then comes out again. She stops in the hallway, thinking she heard or saw something, but a look in the kitchen shows that nobody is there. She turns back to Micah’s room and the camera pans to show D.L. now standing just around the corner in the kitchen she just left.

Episode 1x06 - "Better Halves"

  • Niki, sleeping with Micah in his room, awakens suddenly as though she’s heard something.  She gets up and begins looking through the house.  The police car is still parked outside her front door, and the cops in it are still awake.  D.L. appears suddenly behind her.  Niki doesn’t know how he got in.  D.L. grabs her and pulls her around a corner, but the way he holds her isn’t threatening.  If Niki screamed, the cops would catch him, so he hopes she doesn’t scream.  She’s not wearing her wedding ring, although D.L. is wearing his.  They argue about whether he should be there.  The police overhear and knock on the door.  D.L. goes to check on Micah, leaving Niki to deal with the cops any way she wants.  At first she assures the policeman at the door that everything is alright, and that she was just talking with her son, but the hesitation in her voice arouses the officer’s suspicions.  Niki quickly excuses her behavior as the product of a long night, and the officer leaves.
  • D.L. again appears behind Niki, who demands to know what really happened.  He had planned to rob Linderman for $2 million, enough money to solve D.L., Niki and Micah’s financial problems and get them out of Vegas.  However, he realized Linderman would come after Niki and Micah as well as D.L.  D.L. backed out, but someone else took his place.  D.L. heard that it was a woman.  The woman took the money and killed D.L.’s crew.  A man in North Vegas just laundered $2 million for someone, and D.L. plans to go the next day to shake out her name.
  • Niki and D.L. wake up in each other’s arms in the morning.  D.L. suggests that Niki get more sleep, since she didn’t get much the night before.  He heard her get up in the middle of the night, quietly so she wouldn’t wake him.  Niki has no memory of getting up.  Worried that she may have had another blackout, she sits up and glances at the mirror.  She sees "Jessica" lying in bed on D.L.’s other side.  "Jessica" gives her a sly smile.  Micah barges into the room and, at the sight of his father, jumps up on the bed.  They’ve missed each other.
  • D.L. and Micah sit at a table on the back porch while D.L. looks through some of Micah’s comic collection.  D.L. remembers when Micah got scared after reading some of D.L.’s old Tomb of Horror and Vault of Doom comics even though D.L. told him not to.  D.L.’s sorry he hasn’t been around, but Micah’s been the man of the house, taking care of Niki, and she’s been doing alright.  Micah wants to know how D.L. got out of prison, so D.L. tells him he just walked out.  He’s got a secret, just like Superman.  Micah accepts this and goes to get more comics.  Niki brings coffee out onto the porch.  When D.L. goes back on the run, it’s going to crush Micah.  D.L. doesn’t worry because he’s not going to run again.  He’s going to get the woman’s name from the money launderer and prove he’s innocent.  He needs Niki to give him a ride, though.  Every cop in Vegas is looking for him, and he knows that although Niki is starting to believe him, she’s going to start to doubt again the moment he’s not there to reassure her.
  • D.L. gives Niki a drink.  They’re both shaken.  D.L. has never seen anything like the scene in the poker den.  Niki has, in their garage.  She borrowed money from Linderman when she got behind in rent and tuition, and he sent men to get it back.  It got physical, she blacked out, and when she came too, the men had been torn apart.  There wasn’t anyone else around, so it must have been her.  D.L. doesn’t believe it.  He thinks they’re both being framed, but whoever is doing it hasn’t counted on the bond between the two of them.  Niki wants to call the police, but D.L. knows they won’t believe the story.  He’s got to find the woman who framed him to clear his name.  Micah interrupts the moment, asking Niki’s help to find his backpack.  Niki finds it in the living room.  Niki sees "Jessica" in the living room mirror.  A moment later, Niki’s sitting on the couch, and the backpack is gone.  Micah has it in his bedroom.  Niki had given it to him and told him to pack clothes for a trip to Grandma’s house.  Niki doesn’t remember.  Shaken, she fakes illness and goes to her bedroom where she collapses in front of the mirrored closet doors.  She asks her reflection what’s happening to her, then sinks to the floor when there’s no answer.  "Jessica" appears, sitting next to her, far more composed than Niki.  Niki thinks she’s a hallucination, but "Jessica" is as real as Niki and although Niki may be a lot of things, she’s not crazy.
  • Micah’s room.  D.L. enters looking for Niki.  Micah wants to know if Niki and D.L. are going to get back together.  D.L. would like that, but Niki doesn’t really believe he’s innocent, and that complicates things.  He’d like them to be a family again.  Micah tells him that D.L. isn’t the only one with a secret.  Niki has one too.
  • Niki finds a suitcase full of money and a gun in the attic.  D.L. appears behind her as she pulls it out.  She tries to explain, but D.L. is convinced that she’s been lying to him about everything and that she’s the source of all his trouble.  He tells her he’s taking Micah and the money.  The confrontation brings out "Jessica", who throws D.L. across the room and into the closet.  Micah hears the racket and comes running, but "Jessica" sends him back to his room with the excuse that she and his father are moving furniture.  D.L. has vanished.  Niki closes the door and stalks the room trying to find him.  D.L., battered, melts out of the wall and grabs her from behind.  "Jessica" breaks his hold and throws him onto the bed, then jumps on top and begins to strangle him.  The half-helix symbol has appeared on her shoulder.  Micah opens the door and is shocked to see what is happening.  His appearance distracts "Jessica" long enough for D.L. to reach into her chest.  Whatever he does there causes "Jessica" difficulty breathing, and she collapses on the floor.  Micah tries to run to her, but D.L. catches him up and runs out the door with him.  "Jessica"/Niki lies on the floor, either disabled or dead.
