-After a thorough search of the home, Ash turns up nothing, so searches the city. She eventually finds the spinner south of the city viaduct, with Arkady murdered inside. Becoming exhausted, Ash decides to delay her report to the morning, and rushes home.
-In the late hours, Isobel and Cleo make their way through the streets to find [[Malak]].
-Ash makes it home, finding her way to a wheelchair to recharge her cybernetics.
-Isobel and Cleo make it to their meeting place with Malak, but he is not there. They are confronted by two men and a woman, who attack. Isobel quickly incapacitates them before Malak finally arrives.
-It is learned that Isobel Selwyn made a call to a "chop shop," which Ash investigates. A doctor practicing at the facility, "[[the Skin]]" tells her that Isobel's call concerned the rate of a birthmark consult, and said that she was going "home." Before Ash leaves, the Skin notices that she wears a brace.
-Malak leads Isobel and Cleo to an underground community and introduces them to "[[the Lung]]."
-Ash assigns an officer to tail the doctor, learning his address at [[Carleton|The Carleton]], where she finds an [[elderly replicant]] whose appearance is a result of an operation by the Skin. When she questions him about Isobel Selwyn, he states that he knows "everything" and attacks Ash. She managed to fend him off, but before he jumps out a window, he tells her to ask Selwyn "why he wants his daughter dead."
-Ash speaks to Selwyn, updating him on the case, but decides to make no mention of the elderly replicant's command.
-After the police find the Skin, Isobel disguises herself and Cleo. The Lung prepares them to meet "[[the Bones]]," who is to escort them out of the city.
-Wojciech tells Ash of the Skin's past, including previous aliases as well as his employment at the [[Tyrell Corporation]]. Shortly afterward, Ash is attacked, resulting in her spinner being shot down.
