[edit] Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames are investigating the radiation poisoning of a tormented scientist.

Goren and Eames discover that the victim was working with a genius mathematician in a wheelchair, on the controversial theory of everything, which is an unproven design that would re-configure the definition of the universe.

Even as the investigators suspects the beautiful and controlling physicist's "trophy wife", they are curious about an approaching international conference in Berlin that would require him to explain his theory. He is trying to avoid being humiliated by his failure to prove a controversial theory of quantum physics that he has spent his career espousing, which would ensure his scientific immortality.
