Ralph and Cisco stroll in with some proof from the transport, and they locate a melodic CD for Izzy Bowin, a hopeful blue grass music craftsman. Cisco utilizes his forces to find Izzy and the group goes out to talk with her.

At the DeVoe sanctuary, Clifford uncovers his new host body is breaking down at a quick pace, and he needs to move into another body at the earliest opportunity.

A baffled Izzy doesn't consent to remain with the group and tempests out of the lab. Ralph pursues her and clarifies his job in the group.

Back at their nest, the DeVoes get into a quarrel over Clifford's perspective.

At STAR Labs, Iris gives Izzy a fiddle to channel her forces through. Harry's dealing with a force hosing cap to stop Cecile's forces, yet Cecile doesn't care for it in light of the fact that the head protector is excessively awkward. The two contend about it.
