Jax starts training under Dr. Mako to use his powers. Dr. Mako puts Jax in a room with a volunteer he calls Mrs. Park. Jax is unable to conjure any kind of vision and wonders if he doesn’t have hypnotic powers. He goes to the bathroom feeling like a failure. Wilson emerges from a stall and insults Jax. Jax accuses him of being insecure about losing his status at Sentia to the next big thing. Dr. Mako walks in, defusing the fight. Dr. Mako insists that Jax must let the hypnosis happen instead of trying to force it.

Jax takes a walk to clear his head. He encounters a panhandler in a red and black jacket on the street and finds himself having a vision. He tests his powers, commanding the panhandler to scratch his nose and feel tired. Jax is thrilled to have succeeded but feels guilty about leaving the panhandler in his power. He tells the panhandler to wake up from hypnosis.

Jax races back to Sentia to tell Dr. Mako. Dr. Mako brings him back into the lab with Mrs. Park. Instead of trying to hypnotize her, he tries to mimic his mindset from when he saw the panhandler.
