1. "Frostbite"-Five months following the disappearance of Wallace Dragos, the board of directors at Dragos Consolidated decides to appoint Greg Morgan as their new CEO until Dragos can be found. Aren and Angel Prado begin investigating a kidnapping and murder spree, unaware that a scientist named Issac Samuels (Nathan Darrow) and his colleague Danny Smith are the culprits. Issac has been killing people to see if they're organs are a perfect match for a woman he is obsessed with reviving named Tristen Watson (Kristen Hager). Smith determines that Tristen needs an organ transplant, but due to her rare blood type there are no suitable donors available. Issac declares that they will use live donor, even if it means the donor will die in the process. Smith is at first reluctant to kill an innocent girl, but Issac offers Smith more money that will put an end to his financial problems. Kathy Farwell is a perfect match, and Issac learns from her friend Jaime Orton that Kathy and Alex are on a double date with Laurence Haynes and Melissa Williams. Issac then attacks the restaurant and kidnaps Kathy, taking her to an abandoned oil rig where he and Smith are. Alex tries to rescue Kathy only to fail.

2. "A Dead Man Feels No Cold"-Upon learning that Tristen is still at Dragos Consolidated, Issac builds an armored suit. Issac arrives at the destination and, after fighting through security and the police, manages to escape with Tristen. Elsewhere, Alex tries to find clues to where Kathy might be by searching Issac's house. Unfortunately, Aren appears and asks what he is doing, and after a fist fight, a civilian threatens to call the police if they continue. Aren tells Alex that he knows that he is up to something, and says he will be watching him. Alex deduces that Issac is at the oil rig and goes there to save Kathy. Issac and Smith explain the situation to Kathy, who claims that she is willing to help Tristen for the "blood transfusion", but not at the oil rig, prompting Issac to keep Kathy imprisoned. When the time for the operation comes, Kathy realizes that they are lying when they say she will need to be put under for a mere transfusion. She escapes with the help of her wit. Smith gives pursuit and almost catches her, before Alex arrives as the vigilante. Issac arrives, and in the ensuing confrontation, Smith accidentally shoots one of the fuel tanks and starts a rapidly spreading fire as Issac traps Alex. Issac insists that Smith perform the operation, despite the oil rig blazing and ready to explode, but Smith betrays Issac and attempts to escape, only to be killed by falling wreckage. Alex and Kathy work together to save Tristen. Unfortunately, Issac is killed in the explosion despite Alex's efforts to save him after he and Kathy take the other two to his boat. Alex feels that he hasn't seen the last of Issac and convinces Morgan to revive Tristen with an organ transplant operation funded by the company. In the end, Issac is pleased with this while in hiding at the Arctic and Aren decides to start following Alex thinking he is the vigilante.
