Plot
Inside the offsite storage facility, Epsilon and Carolina find the Director in a room watching a video file of Allison before her deployment. The Director repeatedly states that he is close to bringing Allison back and needs more time to do so, but Epsilon ignores this and complains on all of the actions the Director has to answer to for all the people he has hurt. Carolina tries to calm Epsilon down, but the latter continues ranting, changing A.I. forms in the process. Carolina looks at the Director in disappointment and the latter looks back at her. Realizing that killing the Director won't solve anything, Carolina tells Epsilon that he needs to let go of his anger. She also adds that the past doesn't define a person for who he or she is, but a starting point to what they will become.

After leaving a pistol for the Director, Carolina leaves, just as the Director states that "You were my greatest creation." As Epsilon leaves, the Director orders F.I.L.S.S. to delete all files regarding Project Freelancer, including herself, and to shut down all systems in the facility. F.I.L.S.S. warns him that doing so will shut off the life support system in the facility, though the Director insists. Before shutting down, F.I.LS.S. asks him if Project Freelancer was a success, but the Director replies "no" although he came very close. The Director and F.I.L.S.S. say their goodbyes to each other and the door to the room lowers down, sealing the Director in.

Outside the facility, Epsilon and Carolina acknowledge that the journey is over and thank each other for showing the other side of themselves. Carolina then asks Epsilon about where the Reds and Blues will go now, in which Epsilon answers that there is one place the Reds and Blues can call home.

In the past aboard the Mother of Invention, the Director and Counselor discuss where to hide the Alpha. The Counselor points out that the Alpha will need a security detail, someone they can trust, so he nominates the blue soldier, which turns out to be Flowers, whose codename is Agent Florida.

The Director mentions that they'll need a cover story for Flowers' disappearance. As a result, the Counselor has the state of Florida break into several pieces on a computer screen behind them. When the Director points out that they'll need a place to put the Alpha where no one will be able to look for it, the Counselor states that he believes he knows a place.

Back in the present, the Reds and Blues begin to settle in their new bases as Epsilon and Carolina watch over them atop a hill. Carolina then tells Epsilon that military equipment had recently been stolen by some low level soldiers, pointing out that they should get them, hoping to make up for all the bad things they have done in the past.

Before they leave, Carolina tells Epsilon a short story about her mother, who had always told her to never said goodbye, as she believed that not saying goodbye means you're not really gone, you're just not here right now. Down at the blue base, Caboose calls to Epsilon to come down with him, but soon realizes that he is gone. After Tucker asks Caboose where Epsilon may have gone to, Caboose states that although he is unsure, he's somewhere but isn't here right now. As the two head inside their base, Epsilon's sniper rifle is seen left lying on the hill, overlooking the canyon.

Transcript
'FREELANCER OFFSITE STORAGE FACILITY. PRESENT DAY'

''The Director is seen sitting alone in a room watching the last known recording of Allison over and over agian. Carolina walks in as the video plays.''

F.I.L.S.S: Beginning playback.

Allison (on video): Leonard, come on, stop it, put that thing down. You're gonna make me late, they're waiting for me.

Carolina: Hello Director.

Director: Hello Agent Carolina. Would you like to watch this file with me?

Carolina: No.

Director: Play it again F.I.L.S.S.

F.I.L.S.S: Director?

The Director smashes his fist onto the desk.

Director: Again!

Carolina: So, this is what you've become?

The Director lowers his head in sadness.

Director: I just need to watch this. I think I have a way. A way to bring her back right this time.

Carolina: The authorities are hunting you now. If I found you, they will too.

Director: I just need a bit more time.

Epsilon appears and floats over to the Director.

Epsilon: No! You've had your fucking time. You have to answer to what you did. To the Meta, to Washington, to Carolina, to me and to her! To Texas!

Director: Hello Epsilon. You came all this way just to see me?

Epsilon: I'm here to remember what you've done. Somebody has to!

Carolina: Church.

Epsilon: Not all of us got off scott free Carolina.

Epsilon begins to change into the different AI components of the Alpha.

Epsilon-Delta: He was brilliant...

Epsilon-Theta: ...and we trusted him.

Epsilon-Gamma: But he lied to us. He Twisted.....

Epsilon-Omega: .... and tortured us, and used us!

Epsilon-Sigma: Manipulated us, for his own purposes and for what? For this? This...shadow?!

Epsilon converts back to his original form.

Epsilon: He needs to pay.

''Carolina removes her helmet and stares at the Director. The Director removes his glasses and hesitantly looks up at Carolina, revealing he has the same green eyes as her.''

Allison (on video in background): And don't worry, you'll see me agian.

''Carolina continues to stare at the Director, and seems to become sadder with every second she looks at him. She leans down, and kisses him on the forehead. ''

Director: Just a bit more time.

Carolina: Come on Church. We're leaving.

Epsilon: I thought we came all this way to kill him.

Carolina: Church, remember what you learned in the memory unit? You need to let go. Your past doesn't define who you are. It just gives you the starting point for who you're going to be.

Carolina starts to leave the room, but the Director stops her with his hand.

Director: Agent Carolina.

Carolina: Yes Director?

Director: Would you be so kind as to leave me your pistol?

Carolina removes her pistol from her holster and places it on the Director's desk.

Director: Thank you Carolina.

Carolina: Goodbye, Sir.

Carolina leaves the room, leaving just Epsilon and the Director alone.

Director: You were my greatest creation.

Epsilon: I don't know what I am, but I do know this- I'm more then just a copy of you. I'm better then you.

Director: I wasn't speaking to you.

Epsilon leaves the room, leaving the Director sitting alone.

Director: Play it agian F.I.L.S.S.

F.I.L.S.S: Beginning playback.

The video of Allison begins to play on the screen once agian.

Director: Thank you F.I.L.S.S. Now I would like you to erase all our files except for this one.

F.I.L.S.S: All our files? Does that include me Director?

Director: It has been a pleasure working with you F.I.L.S.S. I am sorry.

F.I.L.S.S: And you as well Director.

Director: And before you do, please shut down all the facility systems as well. Take everything offline.

F.I.L.S.S: Director, this is a sealed facility. If I shut down all the systems, life support would not......

Director: Thank you F.I.L.S.S. Shut them all down. Lock me in.

F.I.L.S.S: Alright. Was the project a success? Did you find what you were looking for?

Director: No. No, I did not. But I believe I might have come very close. I wish, I wish I knew.

F.I.L.S.S: I see.

Director: Perhaps the next time around?

The Director raises Carolinas pistol to his chin, as the door to his room begins to close.

F.I.L.S.S: It has been an honor, sir.

''The door closes and locks down. Cut to black, as Allison's final words from the video can can be heard in the background.''

Allison: (voice over) Don't say "goodbye." I hate goodbyes.

''Cut to outside the facility. Carolina and Epsilon, appearing at human size, watch the Reds and Blues as they prepare to leave.''

Epsilon: I guess that's that.

Carolina: I guess it is.

Epsilon: Carolina, after everything we've been through, I just um, I want to say thanks.

Carolina: You're thanking me? For what?

Epsilon: For showing me a diffrent side of myself.

Carolina: Same here.

''Shot turns to the Reds and the Blues below. Tucker and Washington are stadning side by side.''

Carolina: What about your teams? What will happen to them?

Epsilon: Oh, there's still one place we haven't visited.

Sarge moves out of the way as Caboose drives up on a Mongoose with Donut on the back.

Epsilon: Somewhere we can make a home.

On Carolina.

Carolina: Show me.

'FREELANCER COMMAND. MANY YEARS AGO...'

Cut to the past where the Counselor and Director are seen standing in the control room.

Counselor: This seems like a major setback for us.

Director: Only momentarily, Counselor. We will recover. The Alpha will need to be moved, though. Somewhere far from here. Somewhere where no one knows who he is.

Counselor: He will need a security detail. Someone we can trust. Might I sugest Flowers, sir.

Director: Flowers? You mean Agent Florida?

The door to the control room opens and the blue U.N.S.C trooper, Butch Flowers, enters the room.

Flowers: Ready for duty, sir. And might I say, pleased as punch you picked me.

Director: Hm, we will need a good cover story to explain his disapearance. People will wonder what happened to Florida.

Counselor: Leave that all to me, sir.

''Behind the Director and Counselor is a computer display of the United States. Several targets lock onto Florida and it breaks apart into nothing.''

Director: Very well, but security is not enough. The Alpha needs anonymity. A place where no one will think to look for him.

Counselor: I believe I know exactly the place.

Close up on the Director's face.

Director: Show me.

More coming soon...

Trivia

 * This is the first canonical episode in which the characters appear in the Halo 4 engine.
 * This episode was released a day before the release of Halo 4.
 * The Unidentified Blue soldier is revealed to be Captain Butch Flowers; A.K.A. Agent Florida.
 * As the Counselor tells the Director that he will deal with the disappearence of Agent Florida, a digital image of the state Florida can be seen breaking away from the mainland and being destroyed, explaining why there are said to be only 49 states.
 * The Director's face is fully revealed in this episode. His eyes are shown to be green, similar to Carolina's.
 * Carolina is heavily implied to be the daughter of the Director and Allison, due to their shared eye color, Carolina kissing the Director on the forehead, the Director saying Carolina was his greatest creation, and Carolina's speech about her mother, saying that her mother hated goodbyes and had a terrible taste in men.
 * Epsilon and Carolina watching over the Reds and Blues in their new bases is similar to how the Alpha and Tex watched over them in the Recreation Trailer.
 * Epsilon changes into the forms of Delta, Theta, Gamma, Omega, and Sigma. An attribute of each is displayed other than their appearance as well: an echoey, robotic voice (Delta), a higher pitched childlike voice and the sound of fireworks (Theta), broken/jerky vocal patterns (Gamma), a deep aggressive tone (Omega), and a secondary, almost demonic voice repeating the sentence just said (Sigma).
 * Interestingly enough, the A.I. forms Epsilon took represent the part of the phrase he was saying. "He was brilliant (Delta) and we trusted (Theta) him. But he lied (Gamma) to us, he twisted and tortured (Omega) us and used us! Manipulated (Sigma) us for his own purposes and for what? For this? This...shadow?!"
 * In this episode, a trailer/preview to a new web series, RWBY, is shown, along with the 'original' filming of Allison's probable last moment with the Director.
 * The color of the Director's eyes may be a reference to the fact that Epsilon stated that his favorite color is green in Hang Time.
 * The Of All Time gag returns in this episode; in this case, the most delicious punishment ever. Of all time.
