The second episode of "Debris" kicks off with the earth trembling beneath an ominous spectacle: myriad metal objects gliding across the terrain in discordant directions. Indeed, another Debris incident has unfurled, serving as the focal point of our investigation in this installment. As the narrative shifts, we witness Finola and Bryan disembarking from their jet, their conversation weaving through Finola's familial ties as they make haste towards the scene of the anomaly.
Armed with a pre-fabricated alibi pointing fingers at the Russians (as always), Finola and Bryan engage Lester, who reveals that the metal objects' movement is strangely selective. Venturing deeper into the town, they encounter an enigmatic figure within a shop bearing the name Eric, who struggles with amnesia, unable to recall his last name. Convinced that the debris is at play here, Finola instructs the other officers to escort Eric back to base.
Meanwhile, Finola delves into satellite imagery, uncovering a startling revelation: the metal objects are encircling the town, fashioning a metallic chrysalis of sorts. Amidst this unfolding mystery, Bryan steers the conversation towards Finola's personal life, particularly her late father. Months after his passing, a cryptic final text message from him to his daughter resonates with significance: "You are not alone." The plot deepens, shrouding itself in layers of intrigue.
In their pursuit of Eric, an astonishing discovery unfolds – he has been cloned, with three identical yet disjointed versions appearing, each blurting incoherent ramblings. With the team dispersed, they individually grapple with extracting coherent answers from their respective Erics. His words barely make sense, yet he insists on the urgency to alter something. Eventually, Finola's Eric attains a semblance of calm, posing a cryptic question: "Have you hidden the ball of light?"
On the heels of this revelation, Finola catches up with the team and concludes that these incarnations of Eric are mere imposters, fragments of some larger enigma. A cursory glance through Eric's social media accounts unveils that he has recently secured a job in San Francisco and had parted ways with his girlfriend mere days prior. Just as they begin to piece together the puzzle, a call from headquarters verifies their suspicions: the metallic objects are forming an impeccable circle encompassing the town, with Eric's house standing at its very epicenter.
Donning hazardous material suits, they venture into the house, where they uncover a fragment of debris that hints at a deeper mystery. To their bewilderment, Eric appears before them, seemingly out of thin air. Despite this surreal encounter, they persist in their search, pausing momentarily to make a heartfelt call home. Finola reaches out to her sister Dee, striving to convey her unwavering support and presence. However, her inability to return home soon starts to strain their bond, leaving a chasm between them. Yet, she promises to call back later, hoping to mend the rift.
Inside Eric's garage, they stumble upon a trail of blood that mysteriously terminates where his car should have been parked. A chilling realization dawns upon them: Eric could be trapped inside a vehicle, somewhere on the outskirts of town. Prompted by this urgency, Finola and Bryan rush off to locate him. With a swift blow, Bryan shatters the windshield and hoists the man inside, desperate to bring him to safety. But just as they make their move, a powerful shockwave emanates from the debris, pulsating ominously around the perimeter of the circle, heightening the tension and danger of their predicament.
Finola issues a command to the other agents, urging them to cut the power, while Bryan extricates Eric from the clutches of the vehicle with determined effort. This, indeed, is the genuine Eric, who promptly dials his ex-girlfriend's number, informing her of his intent to remain.
Elsewhere, the CIA higher-ups deliberate on the perplexing situation involving George Jones, with Harrison eagerly seeking clarification. After all, Jones had been laid to rest months ago, rendering this development highly suspicious. Just then, MI6 calls through, initiating a revelation of the truths they have uncovered. It transpires that a rogue faction known as Influx appears to be orchestrating these events, prompting the CIA to spring into action, deciphering the implications.
With the case seemingly tied up, Bryan engages in a conversation with Langley, imparting his insights regarding Finola. It emerges that the agents are set to exhume George Jones' body in a bid to uncover further information. As Finola and Bryan gear up to depart, Bryan casts a prolonged gaze at his colleague before they embark on their journey.
