Apparently, when youre on NZT, one-night stands arent much fun.
You know whats fun?

Emailing physicists and biologists about experimental new theories and drugs.
Which is exactly what Brian finds himself doing after breaking up with Shauna.
Problem one is a fairly straightforward FBI case.
And, for a guy whos lactose intolerant, he sure drinks a lot of milk.
(How much does being an FBI consultant pay, anyway?
Now, finally, it starts to make a little more sense as to why Morra needs Brian.
Sands gives him three days to get the files, which are locked in Nazs office.
And he insults his liquor cabinet, for good measure.
And the next day, Arthur shows up at the FBI and presents Brian with Problem No.
3: Tithonus, the possibly immortal mouse that Arthur has engineered with Brians help, has gone missing.
(Fun fact: Tithonus was a man in Greek mythology who was granted immortal life.)
Wilkerman screwed him over and made millions, leaving Arthur with nothing but a couple of mice.
So, after his new breakthrough, Arthur got a little too excited and bragged about it online.
Now, the mouse is gone.
NEXT: Whered you go, Tithonus?
Brian can rule out Carverton, but now he has no mouse and no suspects, either.
(Naz, youre a senior agent in the FBI.
Surely you have a stronger password than mercy.
If people steal your top-secret files, thats totally your fault.)
And with the two other problems solved, Brian can finally turn his attention to Arthur and Tithonus.
