Ariadne works out something's going on between her two colleagues. She just can't work out what, exactly.

Dreamshare is an addiction with some nasty side-effects. Eames and Arthur have a working solution, but when Cobb brings Ariadne into the team, they start to realise that not everyone has a safety-net.

Saito's job referral draws Arthur, Eames, and Ariadne together for an extraction in Finland that proves unexpectedly dangerous and difficult, pushing the three of them past all limits and into a precarious and tender three-cornered relationship. In which Ariadne loses the future she'd planned, Eames loses the past he thought he'd already thrown away, and Arthur loses his distance, secrets are revealed and a dance for two becomes a tango for three.

"He wants you," Eames whispered into her ear, "and I want him. What do you say we split the difference?"

Arthur won't fuck her inside their dreams. Eames won't touch her outside of them.
