== Synopsis ==
A surprising revelation sparks new hope — but Simone and the others must ready themselves for a dangerous confrontation as Rasmus closes in.
== Plot ==
Simone and Daniel bring Martin's body back for burial, at which point Simone goes to sleep. Meanwhile, near the dead flower that cures the virus, the virus that Martin left behind suddenly rises up and shoots into the flower, is consumed, and restores the flower to life. Later, Kira urges Simone to go to Martin's burial, and Luna comforts Simone as she grieves. Meanwhile, Rasmus girds himself for war along with his fellow infected (Apollon soldiers supporting), intending to kill Simone to prevent her from killing any other infected like she killed Martin. Sarah, however, has doubts and doesn't want to go through with it, but Rasmus insists that she must.
Fie and Patrick have already fled Apollon and head to link up with Simone's group. Simone, meanwhile, is still mourning, so Jean comforts her, but they are interrupted by Daniel's frantic news that the flower is alive. Fie and Patrick arrive near the plant just after Simone, Jean, and Daniel do. Everyone reunites, but when Patrick learns of Martin's death, his best friend, his is distraught. He explains to Simone why Martin contracted the virus, while Simone vows — again — to kill her own brother. 
Rasmus himself arrives at a destroyed bridge and is forced to walk, his deteriorating health making it a challenge. With Simone's group, Fie is close to giving birth, and worse, they have no weapon against infected individuals because the flower hasn't replenished its nectar yet. However, when Daniel and his father offer their help, they give the last of their stores of nectar to Simone for Kira to put into a bullet. Given that only Rasmus can spread the virus, if he is eliminated, the threat to Simone cannot grow any further. Meanwhile, Rasmus blames his failing health on Simone and everyone opposed to him, assuring the other afflicted that removing them would restore his health.
Fie is even closer to full labor, and so wishes Patrick to be there when she gives birth. Patrick agrees, and when two Apollon soldiers arrive to take the RV she's in, he disarms one with a stick, pretending it's a gun. However, a second soldier disarms him and rearms the other guard, leaving him and Daniel's father at the mercy of the two soldiers. With Rasmus, Sarah pleads with Rasmus one last time to turn back, to give up his path of destruction and murder, to give everything up to be with her as they always wanted. However, because she refuses to help him kill Simone, he sends her away, declaring that he feels nothing for her.
Sarah then goes to save Patrick and Daniel's father, threatening away the soldiers with her virus. Fie comforts Sarah, but as she goes into labor, she convinces Sarah to stop Rasmus. Rasmus himself has surmised that the others in Simone's group are trying to spring a trap on him, so he sends a subordinate into the flower's compound. That subordinate is shot and killed by Kira, and Rasmus feels his death through the viral hive mind. Enraged, he sends his subordinates to kill Simone's group, while he himself intends to deal with Simone herself.
Jean tries to lead Olivia away from Simone's group, but only a flaming arrow shot by the final surviving wild girl manages to keep Olivia at bay. Rasmus, meanwhile, speaks to Simone. Simone is willing to die so long as the flower isn't harmed, but Rasmus just wanted everyone to be together. Sarah arrives to comfort him, and together, weary of the world, they send their virus into the flower. The flower glows blue, and eventually explodes in a coruscating blast that rips the virus out of all the afflicted nearby. This kills them, including Rasmus and Sarah, who die in each other's arms as vines (remnants of the exploded flower left) cover them in greenery.
Fie has her baby without issue, and the death of the flower has cured the virus across the entire planet, so Simone vows to rebuild humanity in Rasmus' honor.
