Cleopatra, Hel, and Sarge participate in a Bailey attack at a virtual reality lab. After the simulation, the three emerge from their VR tubes and join Mauser and an old scientist. Two Betrayers invade the lab and Cleopatra is shot in the face. Suddenly, Cleopatra jerks up in bed and fumbles for the light. She hears a familiar voice and realizes it's her old boyfriend Johnny, who died 500 years ago.
Convinced she's dreaming, Cleopatra refuses to believe that she's back in the year 2001. But Johnny explains that between her surgery and medication, 2525 was just a hallucination. Trusting her boyfriend, the two passionately reunite. Meanwhile at the lab, Hel sees that Cleopatra is still suspended in her VR tube. Hel also notices that someone else is contained in a darkly tinted tube that is protected by a force field. Sarge and Hel realize that Cleopatra is trapped in a virtual reality world and Mauser sends them in to save her.
Hel and Sarge soon find themselves standing in a street and they fire their gauntlets at a truck that whizzes by. Two police officers surround them, but Hel and Sarge steal their uniforms and weapons. They soon realize they're in pre-Bailey Los Angeles and they ask a passerby where the nearest dance club is in the hopes of locating Cleopatra. They make their way to the club and find Cleopatra clad in familiar 2525-esque attire. She takes to the stage and begins her sexy routine. An enthralled Johnny suddenly becomes distracted when Sarge and Hel appear and begin arguing with the bouncer. Hel yells to get Cleopatra's attention, but Johnny approaches and cautions her and Sarge to leave. He then mumbles a command and Hel and Sarge vanish.
Back in the lab, Mauser makes some adjustments to the VR system and Hel and Sarge are relaunched back to the dance club. They reappear in their 2525 outfits and set out to find Johnny and Cleopatra. Meanwhile, Johnny takes Cleopatra to the spot where they shared their first kiss and Johnny proposes. Hel and Sarge soon appear and Johnny mutters an order. Suddenly, all the bystanders become armed with laser guns and aim them at Hel and Sarge. Cleopatra realizes that she's in a virtual world, but is unable to escape Johnny's clutches. Johnny tells Cleopatra that he did not die in the Bailey invasion, but was cryogenically frozen and thawed out 50 years before her. Johnny then explains how he spent years searching for her and built this virtual reality world for them to live in. Cleopatra demands that he release her friends and come back to 2525 with her. Johnny gestures with his hand and makes everything vanish. Cleopatra jolts up in her VR tube and the team opens the tinted tube and finds an aged Johnny. He and Cleo exchange heartfelt words and he places an engagement ring in her hand before passing away.
