A double murder has been committed on a Sanakee reservation and Darien (Vincent Ventresca), the Keeper (Shannon Kenny) and Hobbes (Paul Ben-Victor) are to go and check it out. The agents find themselves hunting for the legendary Sasquatch on an Indian reservation after two men have been killed there under mysterious circumstances.

A woman gives birth in a hospital. While she sleeps, a nurse comes in and steals the baby. Darien and Hobbes learn that the Chrysalis Agency is artificially inseminating women all over the country and stealing their babies to create its own unstoppable army.

The Official (Eddie Jones) is furious at Darien (Vincent Ventresca) and Hobbes (Paul Ben-Victor) for botching their latest case. A hacker is trying to break into the Agency's computers and he's just about o get through, so The Official decides to send Eberts (Michael McCafferty), who knows all about computers, out with them.

Alex takes Darien  and Hobbes on a dangerous mission, and the Official is furious because she's putting his agents' lives at risk. The details of the assignment are meant to be classified, but invisible Darien hears their argument and tells Hobbes about it.Darien rescues a 12-year-old boy from the sinister Chrysalis agency, only to discover that his body has been implanted with a deadly virus that will be released when he reaches puberty.

Hobbes finds himself in a psychiatric hospital under the care of Dr. Day. She tells him that he shot up the lunchroom of a post office, and she wants to know why, buthe insists that it's classified.

Darien visits his brother's grave, saddened because Kevin was the only one who knew how to remove the quicksilver gland from his head. Hobbes reminds him that all he has left is his brother's memory, and it gives Darien an idea. If he can get some of his brother's RNA injected into his body, perhaps he'll be able to remember what his brother knew, and thereby be able to figure out how to remove the gland.

Darien comes home to find an old man named Thomas Walker sitting in his chair. He is unable to see or hear, yet he can detect Darien in the room. A small computer device mounted to his chest gives him artificial stimulus, and it's his only way to communicate with the outside world.He's looking for Darien's brother, Kevin, claiming that one of his experiments left him unable to experience normal sensations.

Darien is working undercover in a rundown apartment to capture an international terrorist who believes he is working for him. He soon finds himself facing incarceration to preserve his cover.

Darien falls and hurts his back. Hobbes suggests acupuncture treatment and sends him to Chinatown, where he meets an attractive young female doctor named Charlie Jay. When she puts the needles into his flesh, however, Quicksilver leaks out and he becomes invisible. He has no choice but to explain what happened to him. The cure works, though, and his back feels better. When he returns for a second treatment, she uses special needles with electronic chips attached to them, which she pushes under his skin. With a special radio transmitter, she can cause him excruciating pain.

In an attempt to gain financial support, The Official sends Darien and Hobbes on a mission to an exclusive Agency. Darien and Hobbes pay the Agency a visit. Darien QuickSilvers to snoop around, but he doesn't find anything. It's all a front. But just when this is discovered, they clue in on a couple of agents who were supposed to have been dead. They visit Paul Grant, an Agency member, when Darien, Hobbes and Grant are attacked. Darien and Hobbes awaken to a new residence.

While trying to stop Chrysalis from implementing a dangerous laser system, Darien (Vincent Ventresca) is struck by lightning. When he awakens in a hospital, he has no idea who he is, and Chrysalis agents have seen to it that he was found without identification. The doctor in charge has taken x-rays, and thinks the Quicksilver gland in his brain is some sort of tumor.

Hobbes and Darien are sent to check out a bottled water company at the behest of their parent agent, the Bureau of Weights and Measures. Darien Quicksilvers to look around and sees a cluster of lights in the shape of a person in the room. When he reappears, he can no longer see it. Employee  Megan asks him if he can see it, too. They go to a coffee shop to talk, and she explains that although she can't really see the apparition, she can sense its presence. Her mother disappeared a few weeks ago, she explains, and she thinks the apparition may be her spirit, trying to communicate with her.

Darien accidentally cuts his hand on a vial of time-release counteragent the Keeper has been working on. Later, at home, he takes off the bandage to inspect the cut and finds that his finger has turned invisible. He rushes to the Keep, and by this time two fingers are invisible. She wants to take a tissue scraping for examination, but slips and cuts herself. Soon her hand begins to disappear, too, and she gets the idea that the bacteria in the new counteragent have mutated and are now producing Quicksilver.

Alex discovers that a nearby day care center is really a Chrysalis baby camp. Anxious to find her son, she wants to infiltrate the camp and rescue the children. She goes in pretending to be an employee of Stark, and tells a young guard, Benton that she's been sent to warn them of a raid. She says they must move all the children immediately. Outside, Darien has rendered himself invisible and is knocking out the sentries. The babies are loaded into a truck where Hobbes and Alex take charg own child, and Alex was the one who carried the baby to term.

Augustine Gaither, the man who had been rendered insensate by a government experiment gone wrong, is working with the Keeper on a project he'd been working on before his life was drastically changed. It's a serum known as Beta-C that, once injected, causes the subject to talk about anything and everything uncontrollably.

The Official (Eddie Jones) assigns Darien (Vincent Ventresca) and Hobbes (Paul Ben-Victor) to capture Forrester Perdue (John Beck), a professional government assassin who has become a traitor. What makes the mission so difficult is that no one really knows who the man is, and only a handful ofphotos that may or may not be him are at their disposal.

The Keeper (Shannon Kenny) is still working with Gaither (Armin Shimerman), the insensitive man, to help restore his memory so he that can help Darien. Alone in his cell, he secretly rewires his computer so that he can gain access to the classified web site of the Secret Weapons Research Branch (SWRB) and logs in. The agency's sinister leader, the Man with No Name (Danny Goldring), is alerted, and he is shocked to discover that Gaither is still alive. He then storms the Agency to recapture him, kidnapping Alex and stealing all of the Keeper's vital computer files in the process.

Darien bursts into the Keep in a panic and tells the Keeper thathis arms and legs have become invisible, and he can't make them come back. She gives him an injection, and his limbs reappear. She tells him that she's shut down the Quicksilver gland. She has developed an enzyme that blocks adrenaline from reaching the gland, rendering it harmless, but the effects only last for a week. The timing is bad as the Agency has just been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring down a major drug operation.

Darien is shocked to discover the existence of an invisible woman named Mei-Lyn in an attempt by the Chinese to develop their own invisible man, she was the scientist in charge. Now she is on the run from her own people, and she wants to defect to America.

Darien is overcome with Quicksilver madness, and The Keeper gives him a shot of counteragent, but it doesn't work. She thinks he's beginning to de next morning, the control tattoo on Darien's arm suddenly glows bright red and he goes on an invisible rampage, terrorizing everyone in his path.

Darien receives a gift basket filled with wine and a note summoning him to a local vineyard. He is convinced it's from Arnaud, so he and Hobbes go there and find armed guards stalking the chateau. Invisible Darien makes his way inside and discovers that  basement, he finds a Quic invisible to help him escape, in exchange for a permanent antidote to the Quicksilver madness.

A farmer named Ray McGillicutty is horrified to see his cornfield devoured by an invisible horde of loc the new genetically engineered corn, so they obtain a sample of the corn along with some of the locusts. Darien is su gotten Arnaud's cure and injected him with it. The Official bursts in with two agents to confiscate the special counteragent, but it's too late.
