## Plot summary

Tom realizes that Ben has taken Bea and Martha. He contacts the police and reports Bea's abduction before leaving. They stop at a place he believes to be a charging station and goes inside the building to look for help. He finds a first aid kit, but is assaulted by a man with a crow bar before he can go back to Kate who is waiting in the car and badly wounded. When Tom doesn't return, Kate comes looking for him. Together they manage to talk the man down from killing Tom. Kate's condition continues to deteriorate, but Kate manages to get her to the hospital. He wants to stay for her surgery, but Kate begs him to go help Bea. Later, Kate wakes up, inubated, hooked up to IVs, and alone. She leaves the hospital to try to find her husband.
Ben and 'Martha' discuss what's going to happen to Bea and what happened to Tom. Martha says that Tom was merely enhanced, not replaced. She discloses her true identity, Michaela Green who died at the age of 27, and tells Ben that the reason Lawrence didn't delete them was because he simply forgot about them. Ben is pulled over by the police and tells the officer that his brother was taken and he's merely trying to get Martha to the hospital. The officer doesn't buy it and goes to check on Michaela, who kills him. Ben panics and starts to have second thoughts, but Michaela convices him to continue. When they arrive at the facility, she tells Ben that Bea is just bait to get Tom, who they really need, to come. She has Ben call Tom to get him to hurry, so he leaves Tom a message so that he'll know where to look for them.
President Quan and his sister Sen return to the room with Meredith and tell her they's going to let Hau determine her fate. It turns out to be a ruse: Sen guns down her brother and allows her military to kill Hau, saying she won't allow the Feed to control their people. She tells her council that Hau betrayed her brother and that she will be taking over going forward; Meredith will be controling network regulation. When the feed cuts out entirely, Sen realizes that their country will be flooded by people seeking a country where the systems aren't reliant on the Feed. She orders the borders to be closed. Meredith wants to go back, but Sen points out that without the Feed, she won't even be able to find them.
Evelyn comes down into cages and discovers the massacre. She knows and finds both Cass and Danny in a cell among the other bodies. Danny is the sole survivor, and Evelyn tells Amanda that he is not one of the takers and unless she wants her to broadcast everything she's seen on the Feed to release him. He's supposed to taken to medical and then home. She then returns to where she's been working and creates a duplicate of Stephanie's profile, deleting the original. She tells her coding team how to delete the profiles and tells them to delete as many as they can in between when they're knocked out. She returns home despite her employee's protests and finds D, alive but in an almost-full bathtub. She threatens to burn Stephanie's remaining copy unless he tells her how to delete SAVEYOU. Evelyn then relays via hologram that instructions to her coders in order to delete all of the files associated with the SAVEYOU worm. Darien demands she give him his wife, but Evelyn refuses, saying he'll have to wait until she's sure the process has worked. She then asks him how to get Max back, but Darien says it's not possible, there is no back up. Evelyn burns Stephanie's data in front of him and drops the remains into the water. Darien vows to kill her for it.
Danny's mom is taken in her sleep. Danny is released, and Jonah drives him back. Danny's friends are there to meet him; he tells them that they were deactivated inside the facility but can't bring himself to tell them what happened to Cassie despite their repeated questions. Jonah says that he's going to stay with him to make sure he's all right. Danny's 'mother' hides in the pantry when the boys arrive and sneaks up on Jonah, but he spots her before she hurt him. Danny, believing her to be his real mother, comes into the kitchen and cries on her shoulder as he tells her what happened to Cassie. He then tells everyone what happened. His 'mother' accuses him of being a coward for hiding, revealing herself to be a taker. One of the boys grabs a weapon, but before they can decide what to do, she flees the house.
Tom returns alone to the hedge maze and goes down into the secret lab where he finds Ben, Michaela, and Bea waiting for him. Michaela threatens to hurt Bean unless he gets in the chair in the middle of the room. He tries to bargain with Michaela, showing her video of her daughter Ellie, and counters by threatening to spend the rest of his life making the takers suffer. Martha tries one last time to force Tom to sit in the chair, but ultimately is too weak and relinquishes Bea to him. Ben tries to make excuses for himself and his behavior, blaming Lawrence's lack of experimentation on him for his moral and cognitive failures. He attacks Tom so he can force him to sit in the chair. He wakes up to find himself restrained and asks Ben not to do it. Ben plugs him into the device anyway, and Alba activates. She asks if Ben wants to resume Hawkins 1.0: Neo-eugenics genome editing. The program is meant to strengthen human adaptive reasoning and empathy.
Tom tries to shut down Alba, but is overriden by the takers, who Tom says are in the machine. Tom begs Ben to turn the machine off and disconnect him, but Ben backs away, allowing the program to initiate and turn Tom into a gateway allowing millions of takers to come through. The effects are felt worldwide. The Feed completely crashes, taking with it power grids all over the world. In its absence the many addicted Feed users who could not turn off (like Danny's friends) collapse and/or have seizures, and even those who were not are left in various states of disorientation. The program cuts off and Ben undoes Tom's restraints before trying to get him to come to. Tom wakes up and attacks Ben, nearly killing him for what he's done when Bea cries, bringing him back. Ben says that the Feed will come back on, but Tom says it won't. He leaves Ben behind to find Kate so they can leave the city.
