Plot Summary


When word of a transporter signal gets to the Captain he rushes to engineering to see what the problem is. There he finds his evil twin hitting on Shauna. He quickly tries to seperate his girlfriend from his evil twin but neither seem interested in doing so, much to the Captain's dismay. 46 arrives to remedy the situation but is once again confronted with the identity problem, during the confusion Rob creates a distraction and disappears. While 46 and the Captain argue about Rob's location a the Captain's theories are proven correct when a security reports Rob being disorderly in the lounge. 46 does not find him there, instead Rob has snuck off to change into a fresh uniform.
Now wearing the exact same clothing as the Captain Rob proceeds to seduce Shauna again, before he can succeed however, Bob shows up and the duel of the look-a-likes ensues all over again. 46 arrives yet again, even more confused now than he had been before. 46 suggests shooting them both and allowing some higher power to sort things out but before shootings can occur Conway arrives and attacks Rob, proving him to be the impostor.
46 drags Rob away and though Rob tries to argue 46 is having none of that. Rob does however manage to disappear mysteriously, which leads things directly into the next storyline.
