The beginning of this episode was somehow lost in the data streams.. I blame technomancers.  So I've recapped what was missed.  Basically, Aiden (Teddy's mage contact mentioned in the episode prior) came to Teddy in astral form, screaming in pain, asking for help, and then his astral form smoldered and shriveled up...  And that is where we begin, with Teddy trying to track down Aiden to render assistance.
