Synopsis: Given the assignment of determining the motives and background of a man holding an airport's control tower hostage, Sydney uncovers a past attempt by the Committee to assassinate Oliver Sampson.

Observed Data

VR: Sydney's VR software seems to be some kind of database--she can custom design settings that don't already exist; the Other CAN lie in VR.5, or can at least avoid telling the truth.

The Committee: Members don't always know each other (not really a surprise); TC uses their seal on a ring (such as the one Joseph Bloom had) as an identification.

Miscellaneous: Oliver lied to the Committee to buy time for his own investigation and, upon confirming that a bomb had been planted to kill him, leaked some version of the truth about Kyle Jarvis to a newspaper--together these indicate a shift in Oliver's loyalty; Duncan, despite his philosophies, appears to be extremely cynical.
