Brian went back to Eli for another pill, but he found his friend dead in his apartment. The FBI arrived on the scene and Brian escaped using the fire escape. Then, it panned back to where the episode opened.
Brian got shot and he ended up meeting Eddie Mora, who gave him a lot of NZT drugs. Brian ended up helping the FBI solve the murder, and in the end, he was recruited by the FBI.
