Synopsis: Following events surrounding The Manhattan Project, Frank Winter (John Benjamin Hickey) takes steps to save his team but the repercussions could be serious.

Kitty Cameo: In one scene, Sid Laio (Eddie Shin) is being interrogated by an inquistor named Occam (Richard Schiff) about some papers he took.  Sid is being confined in a small metal hut while being questioned and threatened.  At one point Occam looks to the corner where a one-eyed cat is sitting tucked inside a small indent in the wall.  Occam mentions the cat was found in the desert and takes the opportunity to put forward the theory about the cat in the box that was hypothesized by Austrian phsycist Erwin Schrödinger.
