Overlong plot summary replaced with concise version, as per mod decision.


''I Am Also a We'' is the second episode of ''Sense8'''s first season.

Nomi discusses her visions with Amanita, who suggests that Angel is someone from Nomi's checkered past, or that it's the heightened spirit of Pride Week that's doing it. Will is by Deshawn's hospital bed and they discuss their fathers. Will flashbacks to one time he shoplifted, much to his cop father's chagrin, and how he broke out of the handcuffs. Back in San Francisco, Nomi blogs about coming out and Pride Week.

->'''Nomi''': [...] So today, I'm marching for that part of me who was much too afraid to march, and for all the people who can't march, the people living lives like I did. Today, I march to remember that I'm not just a me, [[TitleDrop I am also a we]]. And we march with pride.

We get flashes of the other sensates and what they've been up to. Kala and Sun are indecisive, Wolfgang and Felix are partying after getting a hold of those diamonds, Will deals with his alcoholic father, and Capheus catches a glimpse of San Francisco, where Nomi and Amanita are participating in the Dykes with Bikes parade. However, she catches a glimpse of Jonas in the crowd, and falls off the bike.

Riley and Nomi meet each other in Iceland; Riley sings her an Icelandic song and we learn that Nomi's been hospitalized. She wakes to find her mother and sister by her bedside; the former calls her "Michael" and berates her for participating in the parade. Her mother mentions that Dr. Metzger has some chilling news for her. Metzger diagnoses Nomi with Undifferentiated Frontal Lobe Syndrome and suggests a treatment akin to a lobotomy, which her mother supports.

Will looks up the footage of the church and finds that someone erased two hours of footage from when Angelica killed herself to the disposing of her body.

Meanwhile, in Mexico City, Lito arrives at the premiere of his movie, where an interviewer questions him about his relationship with the woman on his arm, Daniela Velasquez. He says they're just friends. After the movie, he and Daniela talk about his movie before she pulls the moves on him and he tells her he's already committed.

At Kala's engagement party, Rajan recounts his courtship with her before he and his friends break into a Bollywood number for her. Afterwards, Kala feels the effects of Wolfgang sleeping with a woman; he, in turn, is craving for Indian food. Cut to Kala and Rajan's parents discussing the food for the wedding. Later, while having dinner with his one-night stand, Wolfgang admits he's not looking for a relationship before catching sight of Kala, whom Rajan is bidding goodbye to. Rajan tells her that it's true they grew up in separate worlds but he loves her despite that before kissing her good night.

Lito arrives home, waking his live-in boyfriend, Hernando. They talk about the movie and Hernando mentions that he's jealous Daniela gets to be Lito's arm candy. Lito thinks it's time to move on to a new lady friend for the presses... later, however, Daniela arrives sleepy and slightly tipsy at his apartment. Lito buzzes her up and she attempts to seduce him despite his attempts to break up with her. Frustrated, she asks what his problem is before running up to his bedroom and discovering...Hernando.

->'''Hernando''': The problem is, honey... that you don't have a cock.

Daniela, however, volunteers to continue the charade.

In London, Riley returns from last episode's apartment shootout before seeing Will in the mirror. Back in San Francisco, Nomi attempts to check out but learns Metzger refuses to release her against her will. At a Chicago PD meeting, Will learns that the man the sensates have been seeing is Jonas Maliki, on Homeland security's most wanted list. Jonas visits Nomi in her hospital room and warns her against Metzger's operations. She hears knocking on the door, which turns out to be someone looking for Riley whom she escapes from -- she's taken Nyx's drugs and drug money.

Will tells his dad that whatever's going on might be linked to [[ThatOneCase Sara Patrell]], and his dad warns him about bringing her up.

Much to her relief, Nomi receives a phone call from Amanita, whom she tells about Jonas. Amanita has Nomi's pictures of him on her phone and assures her she's not crazy.

Will goes out to buy sleeping pills. Jonas finds him while he's there, waxes poetic about sensates, and advises him to help Nomi like he couldn't help Sara before getting in a car and leaving. Will chases him down, learning a bit more about sensate abilities while he's at it, before crashing his car into Jonas's.
