Jamie hacks into Reiden's database and finds that Butler was blackmailing them to compensate for damages caused by Reiden around the world. Together with Shaffer and Jackson, she finds Leo, who explains Reiden's success is based on the "mother cell", their special vector molecule, which is in all of their products, including human medication, plant herbicides and animal food. However, it has adverse side effects. Leo takes Jamie to retrieve the mother cell, but Shaffer tracks his cell phone GPS signal, and they are intercepted by Hartley. Chloe, Mitch, and Abraham travel to Rio to investigate diurnal bats, which local authorities plan to poison. The bats are attracted by electricity and create a power failure, so the group wants to draw the bats out of the city with a strong electric signal, but are held up by Gustavo Silva and his gang.

Chloe's ex-fiancé Jean-Michel Lion is working with the local officials on the case. Jamie infiltrates Reiden's Paris office to hack into their accounting records. She wants to find out if Ben had been paid by Reiden so that she will not need to hide from the police anymore. Mitch examines the captive bear, which apparently fell into hibernation. At first, there are no signs of influence of the mother cell, but when the bear awakens its pupils have widened, and it has developed a thicker skin to deflect needles. Also, the DNA test shows changes with respect to an earlier record. Mitch hypothesizes that the mother cell leads to accelerated evolution, and the mother cell might be able to cure. Chloe, Jean-Michel, Jackson, and Abraham find the missing three bears in an old fortress, where the animals awaken from hibernation and attack.

The team is sent there to capture a male and female rat to check if the mother cell has accelerated their reproduction rate. Becky, a childhood friend of Jackson's and now sheriff, does not want to evacuate the island, as she believes that there is no rat problem, and she does not want to spoil the tourist season. Abraham catches a male rat which gives birth but cannot nurse its pups. Jackson believes the rats have evolved to a hive organization, and they go after the rat queen. Mitch splits off from the group to visit his daughter and her mother in Boston. In New York, a horse gets out of control and gallops off, crashing the carriage in which it was pulling Brannigan, Ben's FBI boss. Ben's body is discovered, and Brannigan starts to investigate.

| The team manages to escape the vultures to the plane; it is revealed that Jamie is responsible for labeling Robert as the man who doomed humanity, thereby making Jackson a target. They learn that the hybrids were attracted to a mysterious device and, if more were planted over the barrier, they would lure the hybrids and infect the rest of the world within 90 days. Abraham and Dariela return to the plane to offer their support. Clementine later leaves on a personal errand, but Dariela gives her location to Ducovny and she is abducted, just before Abraham objects to the idea. The team arrives in New York, tracing a similar device to the headquarters of Reiden Global, which Jamie, Mitch, and Logan infiltrate. Logan confronts and shoots Abigail, who escapes. Ducovny, revealed to be the Falcon, is murdered and Jamie is arrested, having confessed to killing her. Abraham confirms that samples from the newly evolved hybrids are required to manufacture the cure for human sterility; using the device as bait, they pilot the plane away from the city, luring a swarm of hybrid vultures after them. |||||||

| Using a harpoon, Jackson is able to retrieve a sample from one of the vultures, but Mansdale escapes captivity and hides in a car; to dispose of the hybrids, Jackson plants the device in the same car, dropping it into a volcano and inadvertently killing Mansdale. Back in New York, Jamie states that she did not kill Ducovny, but required Mansdale to testify for her. Mitch and Logan infiltrate the morgue and find a computerized contact lens in Ducovny's eye. After revealing the truth about Abigail to his friends, Jackson arrives in Mexico to search for another hybrid, where he encounters Tessa; they search for the hybrid together, where Jackson reveals that he lost his wife and son Connor in an accident years ago. They arrive at a junkyard, finding a band of criminals holding a telepathic ape hybrid called Abendegos, awaiting collection from another Shepherd codenamed "Mr Duncan". On the plane, Abraham and Dariela discover that Clementine is pregnant, explaining Reiden's interest in her, and Abe believes that her unborn child could be the key to curing sterility; Dariela later confesses to giving her over to Reiden. Elsewhere, Abigail is dragged to safety by hybrid wolves, revealing that she can control them just as Jackson controls the animals. |||||||

| Mitch rescues Clementine from the auction house and admits his regret in not being around to protect her. Jackson and Tessa escape with Abendegos to the plane. They extract its blood and find that the woolly rhinos, winged hybrids, and Abendegos are related and that there are six new hybrids which are required to end the sterility problem. Tessa leaves after reconciling with Jackson. Back in New York, Jamie is released after she and Logan confirm that it was Abigail who murdered Ducovny. Reiden collapses but, when SWAT raids the facility holding the captured children, it is empty. Abigail is returned to her headquarters, where her fellow Shepherds revive her in another stasis chamber. Shown in flashbacks, Abigail was on Pangaea the day of the Noah Objective, where she is revealed to have been jealous of Robert's approval over Jackson, having created the hybrids only to impress him. The ape hybrid whom she named "Abendegos" has her own DNA. After witnessing Robert sacrifice himself to save Jackson, Abigail took over the Shepherds and saved Mitch from death. In the present, Mitch discovers that he is Mr. Duncan. |||||||

| The Shepherds are revealed to be the children's captors; the team rescues them and Isaac, but Abigail infiltrates the plane and retrieves Abendegos, injuring Clementine in the process. Logan is recruited by IADG agent Henry Garrison to investigate worldwide hybrid activity. Mitch and Jamie go searching for a new hybrid, an invisible snake, and are able to kill it with aid from Max, who was also hunting the creature. On the plane, Abraham confirms Clementine's baby is in danger and needs a blood transfusion from the father, Sam Parker. Clementine is put into the stasis chamber to keep her baby alive. Jamie later confirms that Mitch is Duncan, but Mitch wipes her memory with a tranquilizer dart. Max brings a very large egg aboard the plane. Jackson goes searching for Sam, but he denies knowing Clementine before being shot and killed by Abigail, who then captures Jackson. |||||||

| Abigail takes Jackson to Copenhagen, Denmark and discovers he can control animals telepathically. Mitch and Max decide to remove the bio-drive from Mitch's head, but a power failure during the procedure leaves Mitch temporarily blind and reboots the bio-drive. A new hybrid on the plane has caused the power failure and must be tracked down and a sample taken. Power malfunctions cause Jamie and Dariela to nearly be sucked out of the tail section, but Abraham saves them while Max helps fix Mitch's blindness. Abraham rigs a beacon to draw out the hybrid, an octopus with fanged tentacles, while Jamie tries to overcome Mitch/Duncan to reboot the plane's power system. Abigail uses the plane's situation to discover the secret of how Jackson can control animals. Elsewhere, Logan discovers the cause of hybrid DNA in Germany and similar causes in Seoul, South Korea and Atlanta, Georgia. |||||||

| Jamie reboots the plane's power, but Mitch/Duncan escapes the plane. Dariela takes Isaac off the plane, while Abraham stays to help with the crisis. Logan comes to the plane to deal with the spore problem and they coerce a former Shepherd named Jared to lead them to Abigail by tracking the bio-drive. Mitch/Duncan returns to Abigail, who repairs his bio-drive and introduces him to Sam Parker. Jackson deduces that Abigail can control the hybrids and that she is, in fact, the last hybrid needed to cure sterility. Sam is taken to the plane by Abraham to give a transfusion to Clementine and save the baby, but there are complications. Jamie and Max find Jackson and capture Mitch/Duncan and the device used to control his bio-drive, though Jamie leaves him in his "Duncan" state at gunpoint to control his actions. Jared confronts Abigail, but is killed after fighting with Jackson, who retrieves a spinal sample from Abigail. Logan and his team find the spore nest. |||||||

| Abigail is brought onto the plane dying and Jackson demands that they save her because he needs to know what her endgame is. Abraham determines that Abigail needs her spinal fluid replaced and the only match is the hybrid samples the team has collected. Jackson approves their use and travels to Seoul to meet up with Logan and collect new samples. Meanwhile Jamie offers Mitch/Duncan a deal - kill Abigail and make it look like an accident and Duncan can have possession of the bio-drive controller. He takes the deal and swaps needles during surgery causing Abraham to inadvertently kill her. Abigail's death triggers an implant in her neck that starts setting off beacons to awaken the hybrid nests. Dariela is offered a job with the IADG coordinating the destruction of hybrid nests when the beacons go off. Back on the plane Jamie reveals she had no intention of giving Duncan possession of the controller. They wrestle over ownership when Max steps in and destroys the controller, returning Mitch. Abigail awakens in the operating room and stabs Abraham, grabs a gun and shoots Jamie, Mitch and Max. She waits in the hangar bay for Jackson to return with the hybrid samples and shoots him as well. Clementine awakes from her tank several months along into her pregnancy. |||||||

| Abraham's serum coupled with the healing tank have caused Clem to rapidly progress through her pregnancy to the point that she is now full term. She awakens to find everyone dying from gunshot wounds and releases Sam to help save them. Dariela warns them the recent destruction of the hybrid nest has covered the city in toxic spores; if any of the air gets into the plane, everyone will die. So Clem pressurizes the plane and uses the regeneration liquid from the healing tank to treat everyone's gunshot wounds. Once everyone is stable Jamie informs them that now that the plane is pressurized they only have a few hours of oxygen left and the team must find a way to extend their available oxygen until the toxic spores dissipate. When Clem goes into labour it inspires Mitch and Max to coat the air filters to trap the spores while letting outside oxygen in. Meanwhile Jackson has begun decoding Abigail's dead-man switch. He recognizes the GPS coordinates for a beacon in Tokyo and directs the IADG to cut off its power source. When they attempt to they trigger an explosion that destroys the city. Feeling guilty Jackson calls Tessa and admits defeat, apologizing for not being able to stop Abigail. Tessa instead convinces Jackson to think like his dad and take another look at the encrypted code. When he does, he recognizes part of the code is named after a joke his dad used to tell, allowing Jackson to use the answer as a key and decrypt the code. |||||||

| En route to delivering the decrypted code to IADG headquarters in Colorado, Abigail shoots down the plane with an EMP, causing it to crash land in the hybrid zone several miles from the Barrier. Dariela and Tessa lead a team to rescue the others. Overrun with hybrids, Jackson and Sam offer to lead the hybrids away and allow the others to make a run for the Barrier. Sam turns on Jackson, however, bringing him straight to Abigail. He attempts to kill Jackson, only for Jackson to shoot him in the leg and push him down the hill. Abigail reveals that this was her plan all along - Sam is really Connor Oz, Jackson's son that was thought to have died 20 years ago, and now Jackson will be forced to watch him die again, with the hybrids circling his wounded body. Jackson is able to rescue him and bring him to the Barrier. Meanwhile, Mitch is able to shut down all the beacons worldwide by redirecting their power to the beacon in North America. This causes all the hybrids to attack the Barrier in an attempt to get to the other side. |||||||
| 39 | 13 | "The Barrier" | Michael Katleman | Bryan Oh & Nick Parker | September 21, 2017 (2017-09-21) | 2.84 |
| Mitch asks the Director of the IADG to evacuate Clem and her baby while he works on getting the last beacon turned off. Jackson recognizes the signal pattern as a mixture of his and Abigail's brainwaves, which makes Mitch think that Jackson can safely move through the sonic barrier protecting the beacon. While Jackson is fighting to get close enough to install an override switch, the hybrids attack the headquarters. Everyone else makes a last stand against the hybrids in an attempt to protect the generator long enough to ensure the override switch can be used. Jackson is able to install the switch and Mitch turns off the beacon, causing all the hybrids to flee. Afterwards, a K9 unit that was killed by a hybrid comes back to life as a hybrid, signalling that hybrids can now convert regular animals into new hybrids. Logan is leading the evacuation of Clem when Abigail attacks the convoy with hybrids, killing Logan and taking the baby. She calls Jackson and offers a trade, the baby for Jackson allowing the hybrids through the Barrier. The team is divided on the issue until Jackson, using the remote control, crashes the jet into the Barrier, saying that the new hybrid threat is a problem for another day. |||||||
