Now back at the Institute with Tom incarcerated, Peter Syme is forced to speak to the private detective Claire had hired to follow Tom. The meeting is a revelation to Claire who learns that everyone knew of Tom's alter ego except her. The detective reveals her theory on the origins of the Institute and its true scientific purpose. In flashbacks, we learn how Tom Jackman and his wife Claire first met 7 years previously and of his early days at the Institute. Even then, there were subtle suggestions of Mr. Hyde's existence: a thumb print that isn't his, a sudden growth of hair on his arms or a violent, sudden rage when his wife is threatened.
