Was the <PERSON>/<PERSON> transformation part of <PERSON>'s hallucination?
I guess there isn't going to be a 100% proven answer, so I'm more interested in what possibility is most likely. In the answer on <PERSON> IMDB page to the question of whom <PERSON> slept with, the most likely possibility is suggested to be that he slept with <PERSON>, and the brief appearance of <PERSON> in <PERSON>'s place was just a hallucination.
What troubles me about this explanation is that <PERSON> sees the same <PERSON>/Donna transformation when he is playing back the surveillance tapes in the police station. He plays and rewinds a hologram of the surveillance several times and still notices the same effect.
His hallucinations generally seemed to be random and brief, so I find it unlikely that he could have had the exact same hallucination both while: (a) lying in bed with <PERSON>/Donna, and (b) reviewing the surveillance tapes. Adding to (b), he didn't just see the transformation once while reviewing the surveillance tapes - the transformation coordinated precisely with his playing and rewinding of them. 624
It's not impossible for a hallucination to be that sophisticated, but it seems unlikely to me.
Of course, if the <PERSON>/<PERSON> transformation wasn't a hallucination, this begs the question of what actually was going on. All I can think of would be that:
! <PERSON> (who goes by the name of "<PERSON>" while in the scramble suit and who poses as <PERSON>) was wearing some high-tech <PERSON> disguise that briefly glitched while she was lying in bed with <PERSON> (who goes by the name of "<PERSON>" while in the scramble suit and who poses as <PERSON>). The glitch was responsible for the transformation, and this would explain why <PERSON> saw the transformation both while lying in bed with <PERSON>/<PERSON> and while reviewing the surveillance tapes. But then... why would <PERSON> sleep with <PERSON>? She seems very concerned about <PERSON>'s well-being when she drops him off at New-Path and later talks with <PERSON> about him (<PERSON> is another undercover agent who poses as a New-Path employee), but why sleep with him? Did she feel so bad for him that she would sleep with him? Or, was she in love with him? 624
