Sheva and Claire make their way back to the sewers. Just as they arrive Jill and Barry are making their way there and they meet up. They then go to find Rebecca and Chris to re-group and update.

Rebecca and Chris aim their guns at the man. Rebecca is in disbelief by the man she now is working against. She still has that image of him helping and supporting her even with those handcuffs cuffed to his hand. He was suppose to go off the map. Rebecca cleared his name in a way. However now he is back and he is actually the bad guy this time. No way out. She still cannot believe that Billy is aiming his gun at her.

A large room with hundreds if not thousands of tubes plastered against the wall. Cloak woman walks up to a very specific one and it opens as she enters inside. The door closes as it fills with water. Outside the tube Kelly stands operating it all from the computer as the woman in the red dress stands by her side watching everything.

Rebecca and Chris repeatedly order Billy to lower his weapon. The former marine smirks at them not moving an inch. Suddenly he starts coughing. He grabs his chest as he feels immense pain as he coughs up blood. Rebecca and Chris look at each other not sure what to do but keep their weapons aimed at him. Billy groans as the pain subsides and the coughing stops. He looks up at them as they move in closer to him. Billy surprisingly jumps up and grabs Rebecca wrapping his arm around her neck. He looks back and fourth. Chris orders him to release her. Billy then throws Rebecca against Chris and makes his escape running out of the room, they are unable to follow.

Jill tries to radio Chris and Rebecca but due to interference she cannot get through. Jill, Barry, Sheva, and Claire walk through the sewers searching the rooms knowing Chris and Rebecca cannot be far.

As Chris helps Rebecca up they hear the door open behind them as Jill and the rest of the team enter along with Claire. Chris hugs Claire tight as he is so thankful that she is okay. They update each other on the things that have been going on. Claire makes her way over to the computer and starts searching the database.

Before Claire has a chance to see the results of her search she starts coughing and falls to the floor. Blood comes spitting out of her mouth. Chris runs to her side trying to help her. Rebecca helps her being trained in the medical field. The lights flicker as Chris and Rebecca tend to Claire. Jill and Barry equip their flashlights just as the lights go out making the room dark.

"The sample of his blood was a perfect specimen" Kelly says to the man with the snow colored hair.

"Has he advanced yet??"

"No. He's still undergoing testing. We want to be positive."

"As soon as he is done release him to them" he says as Billy rushes in.

"What did you do to me!?" he screams at them as he holds his chest again.

"His mutation is beyond what we could ever expect" Kelly says walking by the man's side as they glare at Billy who is possibly about to take his last breathe.
