Skylar Adams is an Alpha with superhuman intuitive genius and the mother of Zoe Adams and friend to Nina Theroux. As of the events of "Catch and Release", she is currently residing in Canada with her daughter, Zoe.

Season 1[]

Skylar Adams, an Alpha-powered super-inventor, is working in her loft laboratory when her robotic wasp detects soldiers approaching. By the time the soldiers get into her place, Skylar is perched on a roof across the street and, with the press of a button she detonates a bomb, preventing them from following her any further.

When Agent Sullivan finds out about the incident with Skylar, the team heads over to her loft to investigate. Thanks to Rachel's abilities, the team gets a lead on Skylar's whereabouts and tracks her down at a farmer's market in Brooklyn. Somehow, however, the soldiers have gotten to the farmer's market first. With Skylar in danger, the team jumps into action and is able, just barely, to save her, although she doesn't appreciate it.

At headquarters, Skylar seems ungrateful but her instincts prove correct; even though Dr. Rosen reassures her that the team will protect her, Agent Sullivan soon shows up with orders to keep Skylar in "protective custody" at Binghamton while she creates weapons for the Department of Defense. Before Agent Clay and the rest of the Binghamton team show up, the soldiers who have been following Skylar appear with their guns at the ready. In a dangerous standoff, badges are drawn and it turns out that the soldiers are NSA agents. It seems that Skylar has been freelancing for the NSA and they have suspected her of selling military secrets via a complex mathematical algorithm.

Using her impressive inventing skills, Skylar builds a machine to incapacitate all of the people chasing her and seeks out the help of Nina, the one person she thinks she can trust. Nina helps Skylar blindly, hoping that her trust won’t be betrayed. Their first stop is to kill B.O.B., the machine Skylar built for the NSA to track anyone and everyone in the world.

With Gary's help, the team finds out that Skylar has been protecting her mathematically gifted daughter Zoe all along. Somehow, Skylar's Alpha abilities have been passed on to her daughter in a remarkable way and Skylar has been trying to prevent her from becoming a human guinea pig. Making a judgment call that he knows could land him in hot water, Dr. Rosen allows Skylar and her daughter to escape.
