Synopsis: John is blocking a memory from the Aurora chair and Scorpius is killing him trying to break thought to it, thinking it’s about wormholes. In fact it’s the memory of kissing Gilina, which would give her away as his accomplice. Gilina alters the chair so when he does think of the kiss it plays false memories that make it look like John has given all the wormhole secrets to Crais. Scorpius throws John back in the cell with Stark and puts Crais in the chair. Crais is also blocking a memory, Scorpius again assumes it’s about wormholes, but in fact it’s the murder of Lt. Teeg (“That Old Black Magic”).
