Plot summary
After the subjects wake up, the experiment ends and they are allowed to go home with their payment. As they say goodbye, Owen assures a confused Annie that he will not pursue a relationship with her. For the mistakes they have made, James and Azumi are fired from Neberdine and told off by both Greta and Neberdine's CEO. While leaving, they rekindle their former relationship. Annie decides to go to Salt Lake City and makes amends with her father, who has decided to leave the A-Void pod. Realizing how fond she has become of him, she decides to invite Owen along.
However, she learns from a newspaper that he told the truth at Jed's trial and has been subsequently committed to a mental asylum. Owen can only see two options for their relationship: Option A, in which Annie will turn out to not be real, and Option B, which he does not elaborate on. Annie sneaks into the asylum, finds him, and smuggles him out of the institution. Owen is convinced the treatment did not work and is certain that he will have another BLIP and cause her to leave (Option B). Annie tells him she will never do that, and they head to Salt Lake together.
