Eureka

Previously on Eureka.

You may get to him, but you won't get to me.

There's only one thing I want from you, Jojo.

What, what is that?

It's a modified version of the memory neutralizer

that I designed years ago.

Can I borrow this?

Sure.

We've been searching for a unifying theory of everything.

You're talking about the Akashic Field.

I just wish I could see what was going on inside of his head.

Why is this happening to him?

His brain is wired like no one else's.

He's created a connection to the field.

Albert Einstein said, "Science without religion is lame."

And "Religion without science is blind."

But is there still a place for faith in a world of science?

Has our ability to unravel the mysteries of rainbows

made them any less miraculous?

Science may be the method by which we give name to God's miracles,

but faith is the question that arises

every time an old mystery is solved.

The elegant explanations discovered every day in Eureka

are the very reason to believe in something greater.

Something beyond mathematics. Something divine.

Here's the windup and the pitch.

And there's a shot by Martinez out to right field.

Dad?

Hey. What are you doing here?

I was just cleaning out my closet for donations, as requested.

And, I brought you breakfast.

Thank you. Uh, what is it?

Scrambled egg whites with spinach and tofu.

SARAH said your cholesterol's been running high from too much pizza.

Ah, that's crazy talk.

Oh. Almost forgot. I got you your Sunday paper. Here you go.

What do you want? Who said I want anything?

It's Sunday morning. You're up before noon. You're doing chores.

You're bringing me the morning paper. What do you want?

Okay.

I want to get a tattoo.

No.

Okay, I'm being serious.

Oh, okay. No.

Can we talk about this?

Sure. Yeah. We can talk about it. And the answer is no.

Are you amused with yourself?

Well, I'm pretty amusing.

Got to drop this off.

Oh! I am so telling SARAH.

Thought provoking sermon, Reverend.

I mean, the most beautiful emotion

we can experience is the mysterious? I couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately, I'm literally preaching to the choir.

Well, you knew you were going to have a small crowd when you took the job.

It's not the size of the congregation that counts.

It's their commitment.

Still, a little more size could be nice.

Mom?

And a little more time. Excuse me, Reverend. Henry.

Hi.

Diane. Another lovely musical arrangement.

Thank you very much, Reverend.

How are you?

Hanging in there. You know, working helps.

Tell me about it.

Any time you need to talk, drop by.

I will. Thanks. Bye, Henry.

Bye-bye.

Not many people can understand the pain of losing a spouse.

Well, we all deal in our own way.

Still, I'm glad you've been there for her.

Yeah. Me, too. Thanks.

See you next Sunday? Okay. Absolutely.

Sheriff Carter.

Hi.

You're early, for next Sunday.

Yeah, um, it's Jo's day off, and I drew the short straw.

So, what have you got there?

Donations. Spring cleaning.

We'll make sure we get these to those in need.

A lot of need.

Yeah. Hey, oh. That's not even mine.

I blame you for her death.

I can't look at you without thinking that you're the one who did this.

That you're the one who took her away from me.

You okay, Sheriff?

I... Yeah. I just remembered who I borrowed this from.

Well, if you ever want to borrow my book...

Yeah.

See you next Sunday, maybe?

I'll work on it. I'll put these up front for you.

I kind of wish I hadn't even told him.

I don't understand the appeal of painting oneself permanently.

Maybe because in your case, it would be considered graffiti.

I thought every kid from LA had a tattoo.

Oh, yeah. And preschoolers have body piercings.

Haven't you guys ever been to, like, a big city?

Nope.

Oh, we did have that one wild weekend in Vegas.

We did. Really?

Okay, so, it was a virtual Vegas.

But it was like we were really there.

Okay, you guys really need to get out more.

I'll tell you what. This weekend, we'll take my car and we'll head up to...

Well, what? Don't leave us in suspense. Spit it out.

Zoe, what's wrong?

I can't talk.

Should I alert Sheriff Carter?

Zoe?

Zoe? Pilar? What's happening?

Zoe?

What exactly are you doing?

It's a portable MRI. It allows me to see inside her throat.

You're making her nervous.

Just tell me what's wrong with her.

I don't know. It's not laryngitis.

They're all suffering from some sort of vocal chord paralysis.

From what?

I'm not sure yet.

Okay, I'll hang out while you tinker with her voice box.

I don't tinker.

Carter, just give him some time.

Yeah.

I know. I know. Me, too.

Everything's going to be all right.

He's pretty good at what he does.

We're going to keep Zoe and the other girls here for observation at G.D.

until we have an answer.

Okay.

I'm going to check out the house.

Just see if I can find anything.

I already sent a science team. They can handle it.

Yeah. I prefer to do my own digging.

So, I'll see you soon, okay?

What is that?

What...

What?

You... Oh, God! So, you weren't asking for permission to get a tattoo.

You were just covering your ass. Right? It... Zoe...

Okay. You know, I'm just going to do everything I can to get you healthy.

And then we're gonna talk about that. Okay?

So, uh, Sunday special is Fallout Flapjacks.

That's pumpkin pancakes with a radioactive swirl of cream cheese and nutmeg.

Well, that sounds great. Thanks. But I'm waiting for somebody.

Really? Who's the lucky lady?

No.

Yes.

I'm impressed.

So am I. And just a teeny bit scared.

Yeah.

Wow.

If all church girls looked like you, I might consider converting.

Well, you should join me some time and find out.

Oh, I would, but I'm allergic.

I'd have to get a new inhaler.

It would be a whole thing.

Uh-huh.

After you.

Chivalry. Not something I was expecting from a felon.

Hey, never convicted.

But the day is still young.

Try anything, and I'll deviate your septum.

That is so hot.

I'm sorry, Sheriff. It was my responsibility to keep an eye on them,

and I failed. Bad house.

It's all right, SARAH.

One minute, they were talking about tattoos. The next, they couldn't speak.

I was against her getting one, by the way.

Well, not that it helped, but thanks.

Did you run tests on the air?

Did you check the filters?

If anything unusual had been detected,

I would have sealed off the affected areas.

Okay. Um... Where were they?

In the living room.

What is that?

I don't know. It wasn't there before.

Neither was that.

Well, this is, uh, truly a mystery. This shouldn't happen.

Crystalline glass is made up of atoms

that bond with more density than ordinary glass.

Making windows stronger, more light-resistant, more thermally efficient.

So, what could do it? It would take an incredible heat source.

Well, SARAH checked. She said there was no trace of heat anywhere in the house.

Like I said. It's a mystery.

Henry, I need help.

Zoe can't talk. You've checked G.D.'s entire...

Yeah. Active project roster. Of course.

But there is nothing that would cause a problem like this.

Well, something caused it.

Jack. We're doing all we can, as fast as we can.

Okay.

So, why does a Special Forces badass quit a life of excitement

to become the deputy of Sleepy Hollow?

Same reason an anti-establishment anarchist

agrees to a cushy consulting job at Global Dynamics.

The money?

Because you wouldn't believe what they're paying me.

Well, the opportunity.
