Season Two Recap
After destroying her father's book, Vi finds herself on the outs with both her family and the Company. She is surprised to learn that her father, Peter, has already forgiven her.
Penny finds a copy of Peter's book that Vi didn't destroy and the Company continues the investigation into the identity of W. R. Crenshaw, the person who gave Peter the information in the first place.
A strange glitch within the Company transports Shane to the office in Vi's place and while he is bestowed with her ability to see Signs and takes on one of her assignments, Vi enjoys some well deserved rest.
It is during this rest (and studying for History class) that Vi discovers the mysterious W. R. Crenshaw is none other than the Company's very own lab technician and inventor, Doc! He is immediately taken into custody but insists that his telling the Company secret to Peter was not done with malicious intent.
Meanwhile, Shane's assignment leads himself and Vi to the liquor store where she was killed. Vi is so disturbed by the reminder of her death that she erases the Company from her memory. Now blissfully unaware of her other life, Vi is happy to learn that Peter's book is actually being published.
Vi's co-workers retrieve Vi's memory but it's too late for her to talk her father out of releasing the book and the only thing they can do is engineer false reviews bashing the book, dissuading people from reading it. They are successful and Peter's publisher, agent and editor part ways with the failed author.
After a brief period of depression, Peter finds a job as a fact checker at the Garreton Herald newspaper. It is here that Peter runs into Sam Fielding, the advice columnist that helped Vi with her decision over whether to destroy Peter's book or not.Sam recognises the family connection and Peter becomes suspicious over the secrets Vi's been keeping. Using the resources at the newspaper, Peter becomes convinced that his book about the Company is not so fictional after all and he enlists the help of Sam in getting to the bottom of the mystery.
After bungling the Crenshaw investigation and allowing Peter's book to be released to the public, Head Office aren't too happy with Benson. They decide to fire him but, in the Company, this means that his contract will be terminated and he will die. Vi and the gang attempt to stop this but, in the end, all it takes is an appearance by Marcus Pierson, the Director of the Breaker branch, to persuade Head Office to reduce his punishment.
Enter Sidney Dobbs, a transfer from London who arrives to take over as Director - with Benson still around to observe Sidney's "advanced" leadership skills. However, Sidney is far from being even a good Director and fumbles his way through his first few weeks on the job. The only employee who can stand him is Diana Cross but whether or not she is simply flirting with him for her own underhanded purposes is another matter.
The Breakers start becoming a larger presence in the life of Vi and her co-workers, even before Marcus saves Benson's life. She does a cross-branch assignment with Kou Yimou and meets Roxanne "Roxy" Turrell and Kieran James . Kieran, who was a wanted serial killer in the US before his death, proves himself to be extremely dangerous when he shoots and kills one of the assignees to better break his connection.
Vi runs into him again a bit later on and a misunderstanding leads to Kieran thinking he needs to kill Vi to complete his own assignment. Although she escapes, Vi's injury from the episode leads to her having trouble reading Signs - getting them confused with the Signs of other Runners. Sidney puts Kou on babysitting duty to help Vi but she ends up getting them involved in an assignment of Nathan's, the Breaker from last season.
A few chance meetings lead to Nathan believing Kou has a connection that needs to be broken and, not realising Kou works for the Company, he enlists Kieran's help in finding out more about him. Kieran quickly discovers Kou's link to Vi and, wanting revenge on the girl, convinces Nathan the only way to break the connection is to kill Kou - which Nathan does, unknowingly in front of Vi.
As the tragedy sweeps the office, Vi is shocked to discover that no one believes her when she says that the Breakers killed Kou. Using the past assignment as evidence of Kieran's violence, she realises that Kou - for some reason - left Kieran's involvement out of his assignment report. Going to Myron, the Head of Records, for help, she discovers that someone within the Company offices must have tampered with Kou's report - removing any reference to Kieran.
To prove that the Breakers were involved, Vi and a gang of Fixers secretly infiltrate the Breaker offices where they see the Breakers sending work groups and scientist-types into the Power Room - the access point to which one can actually see and interact with the Power that controls the Company. They also have blueprints to the Fixer offices on their computers and Nathan's assignment report confesses to killing Kou - but not realising that he was a Fixer at the time.
Meanwhile, Diana grows closer to Sidney but sees Kou's death as a wake up call to her "mission". She contacts Kieran, who she knows from previous encounters and doesn't know was involved in Kou's death, and agrees to help the Fixer psychologist, Doreen Brennan smuggle information out of the Fixer offices and into Breaker hands for some unknown purpose.
Also in the wake of Kou's death, Jenna decides to not waste the second chance at life she's been given and she and Andrew embark on a relationship - one they decide to keep a secret from their co-workers. Jenna also reveals to him how she died. Seemingly on the run from an ex-boyfriend who had his hands in illegal dealings, a man was sent to kill her. He achieved this goal but not before Jenna was able to get a shot off at him. What Jenna doesn't know, and what we see in flashbacks, is that the man sent to kill her was none other than current Company Breaker, Nathan - who, before he died, worked as a hitman and enforcer for a notorious criminal family.
Vi finds her own relationship on the rocks when she becomes annoyed over Erin's constant need to protect her. This boils over and the two break up. However, a new addition to the Company, David Helsley, shows some signs of having a romantic interest in Vi. Meanwhile, Shane and Gwen get together but soon realise they are better off as friends. Then, Vi sets up Shane and Hannah Marshall who have had strong feelings for each other all along.
The very next episode, tragedy strikes! Kieran plants a bomb on a Garreton Academy bus, killing some students and severely injuring Erin and Shane. While Vi thinks he was after her, yet again, for revenge, we soon discover that he was after Bianca in order to have her hired by the Breakers!
As Bianca struggles through her new situation with the help of her mentor, Nathan, she can't help but feel like she's not cut out for breaking connections. Vi and Shane do some research and discover that Bianca was not meant to die in the bus crash. In reality, she was meant to die in the liquor store robbery that killed Vi.
Going back even further, Vi was meant to die in her first few minutes with us - falling out of a tree after Penny throws a book at her to get her attention. Because something changed in the timeline, the book missed Vi's head, Vi's death had to be pushed to the next convenient time and place - the liquor store. Bianca was essentially getting a free pass until the Breakers decided to tamper with fate.
Even worse, Bianca learns that she was meant to be hired by the Fixers. It seems that the Breakers have a habit of stealing Fixer employees (like Roxy) in order to up their efficiency ratings. Nathan helps her see that her first assignment might be about fixing rather than breaking and so Bianca, whose assignment is Erin, goes about helping Erin to realise that he can't give up on his sister, Iris, who went missing a few years previously.
Meanwhile, Peter and Sam realise Bianca must now work for the Company after reading about her death in the paper. Sam starts poking around, asking questions, and gets his memory erased by the Breakers.
Sidney, having been so angry at his employees for going behind his back, had previously refused to listen to the damning evidence against the Breakers. Benson finally convinces him to take a look over it but, rather than focus on the proof that the Breakers killed Kou, Sidney only sees the part about a Fixer tampering with assignment reports. He vows to find the "traitor" and Diana, although she had nothing to do with the tampering, fears she might be blamed. Eventually, Doreen is discovered as the culprit and arrested.
In the season finale, a team of Breaker security agents along with Kieran and Nathan attack the Fixer offices in order to kidnap Doc. They are allowed entry by Diana, who has been helping Kieran in return for a copy of Marcus's computer codes. Once she has her hands on these codes, we see her debating over whether to use them or not, but what exactly they access, we are never sure. But it is clear that her deception may have gone too far when Sidney catches Diana interacting with one of the Breaker security agents, she lies that he was trying to harm her and Sidney immediately shoots him dead.
During the raid, the Breakers leave disaster in their wake. Kieran murders Doreen to keep her from telling the Fixers that Diana was involved, Jenna comes face to face with Nathan - discovering that her killer works for the Company - and Vi is fatally shot by Kieran as she hides in the Fixer's Power Room. Luckily, the Power heals her wounds and returns her to life for a second time.
The season ends with Jenna and Andrew revealing their relationship to their co-workers, Peter telling Vi that he knows all about the Company and the Breakers are told by Marcus that there is still so much work to be done before their mission is complete.
