Following the events of the Season One finale, Kiera decides to work on the edge of the law, getting support and resources from her friends at Vancouver P.D., while keeping their hands clean of her tactics. Alec is at odds over the death of his step father, arrest of his step brother, and the message from his future self. He moves in with some buddies, gets a job at a Memory Express hi-tech store, and refuses to answer Kiera's calls. When Vancouver's mayor is assassinated, Kiera works on the case with her former police department partner, Carlos Fonnegra, with CSIS Agent Gardiner dogging her for answers about her forcefield and invisibility. Kiera eventually gets Alec to call her and help out. She tells Alec she will confront and destroy Liber8, and its growing band of 2013 followers, to preserve the future. Alec says nothing, though we finally learn what message Alec 2077 sent to Alec 2013 - he regrets his part in helping the corporate-dominated future unfold, and only Alec 2013 (with help from Kiera and with Liber8's 2013 societal influence) can rectify the problem
