The episode opens with Radu coming in from the airlock in an EV suit with a container. Inside is a stuffed teddy bear, clearly of Earth origin, though how it got that far out into space, neither he nor Rosie quite know. The bear gives off a mysterious glow momentarily when Radu picks it up to show Rosie but neither seem to notice. Almost immediately after Rosie leaves with the bear in its container, Radu shivers and seems off-color.
