In his video [[Back At Bree's]], [[Daniel]] returns to Bree's house to look for clues as to what might have happened to her parents. He says that he found something, but he does not say what it was. In a later video, [[Undisclosed Location]], he demonstrates that he found a box with [[lemniscate]] imprinted on it, and in [[Breaking and Entering]], he finds boxes with the same symbols.

=Background=
In algebraic geometry, the word ''lemniscate'' refers to any of several figure-eight or '''∞''' shaped curves, of which the best known is the Lemniscate of Bernoulli. It is also sometimes used to refer to the ∞ symbol used in mathematics as a symbol for infinity.
*Lemniscate of Bernoulli<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscate_of_Bernoulli Wikipedia article on the Lemniscate of Bernoulli]</ref>
*Lemniscate of Booth<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscate_of_Booth Wikipedia article on Lemniscate of Booth]</ref>
*Lemniscat of Gerono<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscate_of_Gerono Lemniscate of Gerono]</ref>

A lemniscate could also be representative of the Ouroboros symbol.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros Wikipedia article on the Ouroboros symbol]</ref> Although it is commonly depicted as a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle, it can also be found in the shape of a lemniscate. It has been used to represent many things over the ages, but it most generally symbolizes ideas of cyclicality, primordial unity, or the vicious circle. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations. In the last century, it has been interpreted by psychologists such as Carl Jung as having an archetypal significance to the human psyche. However, when Bree reveals that the symbol on the box is the logo for a company her father used to work for, the idea that the lemniscate was an allusion to the Ouroboros or any other mystical symbol became very unlikely.

=Significance in the series=
Daniel said that the box had an invoice in it, which he used to find information about the company from which it came. Although Daniel didn't provide any additional information, Bree commented on the symbol. In [[Skateboarding]] she mentions that the symbol looks familiar and that she thinks it was the logo of a company where her father used to work. He did research for them and specialized in ribozymes, so presumably the company researches genomes. In this context, the lemniscate symbol could be representative of the double helix shape of DNA.

'''Breaking and Entering''' is the one-hundred and third video in the Lonelygirl15 video series.

==Transcript==
'''Daniel:''' So you know that company I mentioned the other day? I found out where there main warehouse is located. I went to one of their sattelite buildings yesterday, and it was all closed up. Hopefully this one's open. Sure looks shut down but... I'm gonna get in closer.

(Daniel walks through various fences and doors)

'''Daniel:''' I Heard a car

(A car drives by, Daniel scrambles and runs from it, then sees a helicopter in the air)

(Daniel walks into an elevator, gets off into a dark room, turns on flashlight)

'''Daniel:''' (Whispering) I hope I'm the only person in here.

(Daniel Continues to look around, breathing heavily)

'''Daniel:''' Ever see that movie, Alien? I feel like Ripley.

(Cuts to hall)

'''Daniel:''' Maybe it's down there... this way

(Looks around, breathing heavily, when sudden large, creaking, door opening sound is made. You see that Daniel is opening a large Garage-like door)

'''Daniel:''' There are all these boxes, thats the same symbol from the other box.

(All the boxes in room have same company logo as mentioned in [[Undisclosed Location]])

(Creaking noises, music cuts back in)

(Daniel ruffages through boxes of packing popcorn)

(Daniel picks up medicine box with the word EPOGEN on it)

(Loud, eerie whirring)

'''Daniel:''' What the hell was that?! Oh My God...

(Frantic music plays as Daniel runs through a hallway, into an exit elevator)

(Daniel frantically presses elevator buttons)

(Cuts to Daniel talking)

'''Daniel:''' This is one of the boxes I found at the warehouse

(Camera pans to previouly mentioned medicine box)

'''Daniel:''' EP-O-GYN, or EI-PO-GEN... I dunno what this stuff is but... I'm guessing this is what they're injecting Bree with... which is weird, its not like she was sick. I'm gonna try and get in touch with Bree.

==Notes==
* Daniel found the lemniscate symbols again, on the boxes he found at the warehouse. The boxes contained styrofoam, and Epogen. This might be the stuff that was injected into Bree.

* About Epogen: EPOGEN® is indicated for the treatment of anemia in patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis. Important Product Safety Information EPOGEN® is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Erythropoietic therapies may increase the risk of seizures, thrombotic events, and other serious events. The target hemoglobin (Hb) should not exceed 12 g/dL. If the Hb increase exceeds 1.0 g/dL in any 2-week period, dose reductions are recommended. In a study with hemodialysis patients with clinically evident cardiac disease, where the target hematocrit (Hct) was 42% (Hb = 14 g/dL), an increased incidence of thrombotic events and mortality was seen. The reason for increased mortality observed in this study is unknown.Cases of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) and of severe anemia, with or without other cytopenias associated with neutralizing antibodies to erythropoietin, have been reported in patients treated with EPOGEN®. A sudden loss of response to EPOGEN®, accompanied by severe anemia and low reticulocyte count, should be evaluated. If anti-erythropoietin antibody-associated anemia is suspected, withhold EPOGEN® and other erythropoietic proteins. EPOGEN® should be permanently discontinued in patients with antibody-mediated anemia. Patients should not be switched to other erythropoietic proteins.The most commonly reported side effects in clinical trials were hypertension, headache, arthralgias, and nausea.
