Episode 10 Plot: Elle awakes in Joseph's apartment and is frustrated at her inability to forget. Acknowledging that replicant memories do not fade, Joseph points out that sometimes human memories also linger. In a flashback, Joseph sits at a bar as he listens to a singer named Selene perform. He follows Selene to her dressing room, where Selene immediately reveals that she has figured that Joseph is a policeman. Admitting that she did not run because she was always curious of what her short life as a replicant would bring next, she tells Joseph to come back the next night. Joseph continues to visit the bar several nights in a row without retiring Selene until he encounters Marlowe, who inquires about his failure to retire his target. Figuring that he has fallen for her, Marlowe demands Joseph retire her that night, or else he take care of it himself. Marlowe proceeds to tell Selene that it will be her last performance. As such, Selene bids farewell to her audience before singing one last song. Outside, Joseph and Selene kiss before Joseph shoots her dead. Back in the present, Joseph tells Elle that he cannot shake this memory, that he remembers the bar every night. In her memories, Elle recalls being with her boyfriend at the pool and asks him why he has not been searching for her. The boyfriend suggests that perhaps it is she who should be looking for him. Elle proclaims her desire to find the man in her memory, prompting him to retrieve a device from Doc Badger's shop, which allows her to draw a sketch of the man. Elle takes all night making the sketch, to which Joseph recognizes as the man as Niander Wallace Jr. As Jr. puts a black lotus tattoo on another replicant at the same pool, Joseph calls him. He learns that their arrangement was to help Jr., as Joseph had originally believed. Joseph proceeds to ask what happens next.
