In the present, security enters her office, he informs her that Tommy is gone and she tells him to find Anne Clark because she's the key to finding him.
Erica tries to leave to handle the situation but Taylor screams at her to stop in a very loud and roaring voice; she displayed the ability of Sound manipulation. Taylor thinks this is her doing, but Erica assures her that it isn't because she's been tested to see if she's an EVO. Erica soon realizes that power came from Taylor's unborn child. Taylor then demands to see Francis. When Erica refuses, Taylor picks up Matt's gun and forces her to. She tells her daughter that everything she's ever done was for her, but Taylor isn't buying it.
In the past, young Erica is vomiting; she is pregnant and her dad knows it. He wonders if she's going to tell the father, and she says no. In the present, once they get off the elevator, it has become apparent that she has set Taylor up, she is surrounded by several guards. In a flashback, Erica has called back over the doctor; Taylor is sick and Erica needs him to heal her and he does but he quickly comes to the conclusion that this is his child. He tells Erica that Taylor's abilities could manifest at any moment and that its best she comes and lives with him. Erica cannot allow this to happen, so she grabs a pair of scissors and stabs him in the back of the head. Back in the present, Erica tells all of her men to leave and she walks closer to the gun and tells Taylor that she's the greatest thing to ever happen to her.
She offers Taylor the "perfect future", she wants a fresh start but Taylor turns it down, she'd rather die then to go on living in an empty world, and Erica begins to cry. In the past, Erica hears a knock at her door; it's a much younger Caspar Abraham, and he offers her assistance in getting rid of the doctor. Erica says that she doesn't want to forget, but she wants him to make Taylor forget.
In "Project Reborn", Erica broadcasts a video of what's about to happen to the residents of the Odessa Gateway and harnesses Tommy's power through Evernow to transport the residents of Gateway there. Erica is relieved to see that they have made it safely to the future when they check.
After Tommy escapes Evernow with the help of Ren Shimosawa, Erica is waiting for him with armed guards and his mother and girlfriend held hostage. Tommy points out he can just freeze time to stop her, but Erica tells him that the world they are in only exists due to the H.E.L.E. and if he stops it, they will all be erased from existence. Erica tells Tommy he can't have both worlds and threatens Emily at gunpoint to make him choose. However, Tommy realizes he can make himself be in two places at once and splits himself. Erica fires at him, but Tommy freezes time and one Tommy travels back in time to stop the H.E.L.E. while the other remains in the future to save everyone trapped there. After teleporting everyone in the room but Erica to safety, Tommy uses the Kensei sword to cut Erica's watch off her wrist before sitting in her control chair. Tommy unfreezes time and waits until Erica turns around before activating the space-time bridge. Erica screams in horror as she realizes what's about to happen and Tommy salutes her before merging himself with the other Tommy.
Erica is left behind in Gateway when Tommy transports everyone back to the present. After Tommy, Malina and Noah Bennet stop the H.E.L.E., the future Erica is trapped in is erased from existence and her along with it.
