Tunde travels to Saudi Arabia, where girls’ powers have been banned. The country doesn’t allow journalists in the country, but he sneaks in with his student visa to investigate how the country’s laws are affecting its women.

In the streets, men beat women they catch practicing their powers. Tunde films as women surround men to protect one girl from being beaten. When the police interfere, one girl zaps an officer. Once the officers have been scared off, some women rush the girl to the hospital. Those remaining march the streets in protest.

Tunde continues to film as the women electrocute all men who stand in their way. When the police open fire on the protestors, the women rush to help those who get shot.

Tunde comments in his report that it is inspiring to see this freedom being transferred. He states that today will be known throughout history as “The Day of the Girls.”

Some women in Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, shock any man they see. They turn on Tunde until a woman named Noura defends him and walks him away. She tells him his job is to watch. He can’t get involved.

Noura houses him in her friend’s apartment for the night. He tells Noura he’ll help her if she needs to get out of here, but she’s irritated he thinks he knows this place after 24 hours. She’s fighting for freedom, but she doesn’t want to leave. She loves her country. Tunde was thinking he could be her savior when, in reality, she’s been his.

As Tunde prepares to leave Saudi Arabia, he reports that it’s the dawn of a new day in the country, but liberation has its costs as “for every action, there is a reaction.” Tunde thinks they need to ensure that the price won’t be too steep, but he has hope in people’s inherent goodness.

Someone picks up Tunde in a car and gets him out of the country.

When Tunde is visited by Tatiana in his cell, he informs her how to get in touch with her sister, and Tatiana ensures his release. But Tunde will have a hard time getting out of the country with people watching him: Since Moskalev’s death, the rumors are that the hairdresser who murdered him was a sympathizer of Zoia.

Tunde wants to find Zoia to warn her, but Declan’s focus is only on his story. Declan finds Zoia, who makes him cross a river to get to them. One of her women then sends electricity through the water to shock him. When Declan responds to insult them, they make the shocks more deadly.

Tunde arrives to film the aftermath of the army’s invasion of Zoia’s people. Eventually he comes across many soldiers, in addition to Declan, floating dead in the river. A man–on-fire suddenly runs out to him, and Tunde puts out the fire to discover the general. He says Tatiana must have warned them of the attack.

Still in shock, Tunde answers a call from Ndudi, who saw his livestream from the aftermath and now asks him to come home immediately. Tunde can only cry in response.
