	In the aftermath of the battle at Atlas Arena, the Graystones are cleared and life returns to a semblance of normality. With Zoe living in the virtual version of their home, the Graystones are allowed to continue their relationship with their daughter, and Amanda is able to hold Zoe in her arms. Amanda and Daniel devote their attention and resources to the development of Zoe's new "skinjob" body. Amanda uses her experience in plastic surgery to construct a robotic body for Zoe, composed of a mechanical skeletal structure with human-looking hair and skin. Working out of their home lab, Amanda and Daniel complete development of the body and greet Zoe as she emerges into the real world. {{CAP\|Apotheosis (episode)}}.

	Telling Duram that Mar-Beth is her chief obstacle in fully infiltrating the Willow Family, Amanda convinces the GDD investigator to provide her with a listening device that could be planted in Clarice ~~Willow~~'s bedroom. Suspicious that a mole within the GDD might be funneling information to the STO, Duram at first refuses to reveal the identity of his confidential informant to Director [[Gara Singh]]. However, after evidence in the MagLev bombing case housed at the GDD turns up missing, Duram decides to mislead Singh, implicating Mar-Beth Willow as his CI. When Mar-Beth is reported missing - having been murdered and mutilated by Clarice Willow - the mole within the GDD is revealed to be Director Singh himself, and Amanda Graystone's position as a confidential informant remains hidden {{CAP\|Blowback}}.

	In the aftermath of the break in, Global Defense Department agents, under Gara Singh, storm the Graystone home, accusing them of being terrorists and the true planners of the MLMT bombing. Ripped from her daughters arms in V-world and back into the real world, Amanda is forced to leave Zoe behind as she and Daniel escape in their private [[Phoenix]] aircraft. Believing the key to defeating Clarice is on that stolen holoband, Amanda instructs the pilot to bring them to Orpheus Park, where the holoband was last seen. Landing in the park, the Graystones go to work searching the area. Quickly locating Clarice's holoband, Daniel activates it, viewing a simulated bombing of [[Atlas Arena]] - the rehearsal for a real attack to occur within just a few hours.
