Plot synopsis

After the funeral of Susan Perkins, the town has a surprising visitor--a very alive Susan Perkins. There are other ghostly sightings throughout town.
Carter and the other citizens of Eureka attend the funeral of Walter and Susan Perkins. Much to their surprise, Mrs. Perkins makes a return to Eureka as a woman who is very much alive. Meanwhile, there have been numerous instances of power fluctuations, and sightings of what appears to be a ghost. Sheriff Carter meets Allison Blake's estranged (but not quite ex) husband, Nathan Stark, who is Eureka's new head of research. When Allison takes Susan through town, Susan stops her at her "dream home." At Global Dynamics, they find that the "dead Susan" is actually a clone of the "real Susan." Since Dr. Perkins wanted to settle down with a family (and the "real Susan" was reluctant), he made a highly sophisticated clone, and had a son with her. The "real Susan" wants to have nothing to do with their son, but Allison brings her to his school to see him before she leaves. There is a new electronic disturbance at the school, resulting in the discovery of the secret of Walter Perkins' dissolution--he is between dimensions.
Dr. Fargo, seeing that the new sheriff has no where to stay, sets him up in another eccentric experiment: a "smart" house. Jack gets to know his new home, SARAH (Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat), who provides him with all the comforts of a regular home, Eureka style. At the end of his day he sees his estranged daughter, Zoë, who has come to stay with him.
