Meanwhile, Lyda's been away from Partridge for quite some time now. The people in the Dome don't know about their relationship yet.
Our timeframe has jumped back a bit; this is before Partridge's speech.
A repairman has come to Lyda's room, very quickly, to fix one of those robotic orbs that can change the scenery in a room—we saw this in Fuse with Iralene and Partridge's room.
The repairman, Boyd, is really nervous about missing the "mandatory" memorial service, so Lyda puts it on the television. She mutes it though, because she's sick of hearing lies.
She then asks Boyd to reprogram the orb so that it can make the room resemble outside of the Dome. It's total power move.
Boyd starts crying about what he remembers from the Before.
Lyda urges him to reprogram the orb again, and then turns up the volume on the television to remind him who's in charge — Partridge.
Except at this point, Partridge is completely spilling the beans; Lyda and Boyd are both in shock.
Lyda's pumped he told the truth. But also scared he told the truth. And she's angry.
Boyd is speechless, and Lyda tells him it's okay. But it's not okay. Boyd suddenly tells her, "We weren't ready," then gives her an origami swan made of paper.
Ah, so he's part of the revolutionary Cygnus group.
Written on the swan is, Glassings needs your help. Save him.
