E=MC...?

S2, E8: Alison (Salli Richardson) decides to hire Zane Donovan (Niall Matter), a brilliant particle physicist who also happens to be a super-bad-boy who's been expelled from MIT, Yale and Cornell and is wanted by the FBI. Sam Lovejoy (Bill Mondy), Global Dynamics' headhunter, delivers the charming young man to Eureka and Carter (Colin Ferguson) immediately locks him up. Zane responds by using Carter's credit card to furnish his cell and buy lingerie for Jo (Erica Cerra). Stark (Ed Quinn), Henry (Joe Morton) and Alison brief Zane on the reason for his recruitment. They want him as part of the team overseeing an experiment, which if it works, will recreate the first moments of the origins of the universe and potentially rewrite every existing cosmological theory. This 'big bang' could wipe out Global Dynamics if it goes wrong, but as long as the containment field it's encased in retains its integrity there's no real danger.
