"Stoned" is the seventh episode of the fourth season of Eureka.

Synopsis[]

Romantic relationships are in flux. Zoe is home for a visit and hints at a new heartthrob. Henry is courting his wife while Dr. Grant and Carter spar over Allison. Jo, on the other hand, is done with love for now and just wants to get her house rebuilt. But that project is on hold because paleo-anthropologist Dr. Derek Thurgood says he found ancient human remains at the site and refuses to allow the build to continue.

Plot[]

Zoe returns from college for a visit. Carter follows Allison out of the diner and asks her to dinner while Zoe and Jo catch up inside. Jo gets a phone call that her house rebuilding project was is put on hold, and they go to find out why. When they get there, Dr. Derek Thurgood states that the construction can't be continued because he found a 15,000-year-old phalange... a pinkie finger. He shows Jack the town charter that says all scientific discovery takes priority over construction.

As Carter got ready for his first date with Allison Zoe mentioned she left her bag at the dig site when she was working with Thurgood. Carter took Zoe back over to dig site only to find Thurgood apparently dipped in concrete. The body was taken to Allison who found that not only was he still alive, but his skin was turned to concrete not dipped in it.

Carter went to the construction company warehouse to interview some other workers after locking up the foreman that had gotten into an argument with Thurgood only to find more guys turned or turning to stone. Carter went back to his office to confront the foreman only to find she too was turned to stone.

Allison and Zoe figured out that Thurgood was trying to fake a fossil using a permineralization or “perm” solution and it appeared that it had backfired on him and the others. Carter sent Zoe to the spa to relax while Allison worked on reversing the process. Allison found that there was two parts to the process and Carter went to get Zoe to ask her to help Allison, when he found her, her hands were already turning to stone.

As Zoe slowly started turning to stone, Carter and Jo figured out that one of the ingredients that the spa used limenane is also in the solvent that the construction crew used to remove flashcrete from their hands and the limenane had reacted to the “perm” and caused them to turn to stone.

Allison was able to create an antidote and saved everyone that was turning to stone. While Zoe was recovering Zane came to see her and became apparent that she and Zane were close. Jo walked in and saw them and had to leave as she was crushed by what she saw.

After consoling Jo, Carter went to talk to Allison about their missed date and the kiss they shared. Allison said it would most likely be best if they didn’t complicate their friendship as she didn’t want to lose it. Carter agreed and started to walk away but spun back and kissed her. They both kissed each other and ended up in against the wall smiling at each other.

Memorable Quotes[]

Zane: "So, anything else you want to know while I'm in there? Launch codes? Defense plans? TARDIS blueprints?"

Notes[]

When Zane mentions all sorts of things, one of them is TARDIS blueprints, showing that somebody loves Doctor Who show. The last time Doctor Who reference was mention was in "I Do Over" when Zoe mentions Dr, WHO a few times, and Vincent tells Zoe that he loves that show, only to be corrected by Zoe she was talking about the World Health Org.
