When he returns to his office, he finds a student named Hap Coogan rifling through his files. Coogan angrily accuses Palmer of being a spy. Suddenly, that strange insect appears again and Coogan loses his memory. Palmer grows extremely suspicious and decides to follow the insect as the Atom.

He discovers that the bug is actually a micro-device designed to rob people of their memories. He traces it back to the office of Horace McByrd. McByrd confesses that he used Ray Palmer's theories to create the device and set it against him in order to discredit him. McByrd feels that he cannot match the visionary intellect of the university's younger staff members, and wanted to sabotage Palmer's career in order to improve his own standing.
