And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Was it ever explained how Zoe got put in the group of test subjects? Since, as a high school student, there's no reason for her to have a "pay grade" of any kind?
(Loved the ep, btw. Just nitpicking.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
At one point Zoe was working at the Old Age Home as part of her punishment, right? That may have made her 'staff' and the designation wasn't removed.
I am told that the breathable liquid isn't very comfortable, since it takes a lot of effort to push it in and out of your lungs, like super-instant-pneumonia, only you ARE getting enough oxygen. After a short time, you'll have that hurts-to-breathe feeling in your diaphragm like you do with a chronic cough.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I thought that Zoe was just a receiver, not a sender.

But it wasn't by paygrade though. Allison said it was a designation for those who have regular work schedules. And the doctor used them because they'd have regular sleep patterns.

Oh, that's right. Nevermind.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yes, IIRC, it was people who had set hours so as not to compromise security, etc.

It's baffling to me why any person in law enforcement would be thought to have regular hours, though.

Yes, I understand that the G3 "paygrade" designated hours, not money. (In which case I'd also quibble that the Carter shouldn't have been on that list either since we've seen on the show that he gets called upon at all hours day or night.)
My point was that Zoe, a minor, wouldn't have had any sort of GD designation since she's a student and not an employee with a contract. (But as Tom pointed out, as a dream-recipient only, she wasn't actually in the study, which I'd forgotten.)

...But I just remembered the argument Zoe was having with her schoolmate. One of them had to have been a sender.
