In reality 2, Jason convinces Leighton (Dayo Okeniyi) that he has lost certain memories upon his return from the experiment.

As troubles escalate for Jason inside Velocity, Amanda Lucas (Alice Braga) helps him to escape. She escorts him out of his cell but they are eventually spotted and trailed by Leighton and Dawn.
Trapped in the tense situation, the only way to escape is- the box. Amanda takes Jason to the hangar and they both enter the box in a rush. During the physical struggle, Dawn loses her fingers as the doors snap shut.
Where are Jason Dessen and Amanda Lucas in 'Dark Matter' Episode 3 climax?
Unaware of how the box really operates, Jason and Amanda, take a leap of faith and inject themselves with Ryan's miraculous drug and lose consciousness.
As the three-minute timer ticks off, they wake up and find themselves in an unfamiliar setting.
Do they make it to the original universe? It's a hard possibility at this moment.
Jason and Amanda are seen trapped in an infinitely long corridor that could be somewhere between different realities. The multi-dimensional travel may not have worked due to the presence of Dawn's fingers inside the box.
The future of Jason and Amanda remains uncertain as they cannot risk returning to Reality 2 where danger awaits. On the other hand, the idea of returning to their original reality seems like a far-fetched dream.
Three episodes of 'Dark Matter' are available to stream on Apple TV+
