A brief recap of Dark Matter episode 7

The episode kicked off with Detective Mason of Jason 1’s universe arriving at his house, and questioning Jason 2 about Ryan’s disappearance. However, given there was no proof regarding his involvement, the detective left, only for Daniella to confront her husband about the ampules she found in his secret storage room.

Jason 2 convincingly manipulated Daniella into believing that he was working on a secret project with Ryan and they both signed an NDA not to reveal their work to anyone. Jason 2 decided to break the concrete shielding the Box’s door, only to bring a version of Ryan, who was a mechanic in another reality.

Jason 2 decided to replace the original Ryan, hoping no one would suspect a thing. Elsewhere in the Box, Jason 1 and Amanda were running out of ampules, and given the growing tension, they decided to take a pit stop at some different reality to unwind themselves.

This universe was perfect for Amanda, given her version went missing in this reality and she had no family to look after. Given Amanda couldn’t join Jason 1 in his quest, as there was nothing for her in his reality, she decided to stay in this version without any intention of returning. Although Jason 1 was heartbroken by her decision, he accepted her decision.

After kissing each other goodbyes, Jason 1 headed back into the Box, with only three out of ampules left, and the two of them he snuck into Amanda’s purse, in case she changed her mind. Jason still struggled to find his reality, navigating through the complex and infinite web of alternate universes.

In one universe, his second son, Max, who was dead in his reality was alive and well, and in some, his whole family became victim to some kind of destruction. In the end, he was left with just one ampule, and before injecting it, he wrote a detailed description of his first encounter with Daniella, which became the ultimate key to his reality.

After discovering that he successfully made it back, Jason 1 rushed to his home only to find his imposter counterpart being in his place. Given the confrontation with Jason 2 could go sideways, he decided to purchase a handgun. However, as he didn’t possess a FOID card, he had to resort to purchasing pepper spray and a knife.

After Jason 1 left the gun shop, another Jason donning the same attire, entered with the same request and was shocked to learn that his counterpart also wanted to buy a gun.
