Can the future be changed?  That is the ultimate question that runs through nearly every episode of this show since the premiere.  Mark and Olivia desperately want to avoid their futures, while Aaron doesn't.  Demetri is accepting of his death, but must also have some yearning to avoid his bleak fate.

The answer is that you CAN change the future, and we learn that in the worst possible way tonight.  First, Mark, Demetri and Al infiltrate a meeting of the "Blue Hand Group", which they discovered in the previous episode.  Composed of "ghosts" - people who didn't see anything in their flashes - these people play fast and loose with their lives, convinced they're going to die anyways, so why not go nuts in the interim.

We see a few tense rounds of Russian Roulette (possibly the worst game ever invented).  Along the way we learn more about Al's flash forward.

In the end we lose someone.  Someone who desperately wanted to change someone else's future by proving that his own could be changed.  And we get a hint that there is more to Simon than meets the eye.
