Teleplay for this episode written by Lauren Otero
In 2014, Pogo leaves the employment of Reginald Hargreaves after a disagreement over the Sparrows' training. As he departs from the Sparrow Academy he hands Marcus the pills to sedate Reginald and protect the team. In the present, after an exhausting night, Lila and Diego have misplaced Stanley. A trail of Slim Jims takes them both through a secret tunnel in the White Buffalo Suite which leads to an abandoned alternate version of the Hotel Obsidian, called Hotel Oblivion.
At the Sparrow Academy, Ben asks Luther to join the Sparrows, and Klaus tries to bond with his father, asking why Reggie in the original timeline killed him repeatedly. To figure it out, Reginald, who is fascinated, fascinated with Klaus, decides to experiment by electrocuting Klaus to death. After tracking Pogo to his caravan home, he tells Five that the symbols in the tattoo are connected to Reginald’s obsession with a dangerous idea called Project Oblivion.
Meanwhile back at Hotel Oblivion, Lila admits to Diego that Stan is not their son, but is the son of her friend Trudy, and she is just babysitting for a week, but despite the shock of her bombshell, they still can’t find Stanley. To try and get some help Diego rings the reception bell only to unleash a monster that attacks Lila and Diego in the alternate hotel, cutting off two of Diego's fingers. They escape back through the tunnel and manage to lock the monster out of Hotel Obsidian, just as Stanley returns back to the White Buffalo suite, and is then unceremoniously consumed by the Kugelblitz in front of Lila and Diego.
At the deserted former drive through cinema, Harlan and Viktor manage to succeed in transferring Harlan's powers back to Viktor. But while Viktor is exhausted and resting, Harlan lets slip to Allison that he killed the Umbrellas' mothers, thinking that she already knew. With this new information Allison delivers him to the Sparrows.
