Plot synopsis


Fargo invents a device that bridges the gap between the human brain and computers.
Two projects from Global Dynamics have merged together and been unleashed unto an unsuspecting Eureka. What starts out as a boost to Fargo's status, the invention of an electronic device that links the cerebral cortex to a computer, turns into a disaster in the making. Meanwhile, Taggart has finally brought Lo-Jack in, but the poor dog is seriously injured, and he doesn't feel it sporting to capture him in that condition. He produces Nanoids to heal the dog, but they get loose and start spreading across Global Dynamics, creating clones of all sorts of things: Lo-Jack, some of the employees and, especially, Nathan Stark. Carter and Taggart track the nanoids, who use carbon from any living thing to reproduce, throughout Eureka. Stark becomes the prime mover of the nanoid army, as they make hundreds of copies of him and march through the streets. Carter realises that they are connected to Fargo's device, and therefore to Stark's subconscious, as well as his (reluctantly acknowledged) dreams of world domination. Jack tries to create jealousy in Nathan as he kisses Allison in front of him. The nanoids do react and converge on Jack and Allison, but a blast from Spencer's special speakers subdue the nanoids and everything in Eureka is back to relative normal.

Trivia



★ The celebration of Lise Meitner is based in fact. All the facts about her mentioned in the episode are accurate; she did discover nuclear fission, and she did refuse to work on the Atomic bomb.

★ The Nanoids are said to be disabled by "ultra-low frequencies" of sound; in reality, such wavelengths would be undetectable to microscopic organisms. Even assuming sizes as great as one micrometre, it would take extremely short wavelengths to communicate with such devices.

★ At the high-school dance setup scene, Zoe describes Spencer's music as 'Moby meets Devo', and the second part of the music he plays has a bassline similar to the Devo song "That's Good". The music for the series is created by Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh and his company Mutato Muzika.
