## Plot

Following on from their journey to Colorado, Gus and Jepperd hike across train tracks and abandoned land. They plan to camp out on an abandon bus later that night, and Gus asks numerous questions about where they are. Jepperd explains that the two must get rest and explains how they will visit the market the following day to catch a train to Colorado.

The following morning, Gus awakens and is worried when there is no sign of Jepperd. It is cold and snowy, but upon opening the bus door, Gus is startled as he awakens once again — he was dreaming. Fearing that Gus' animal features would give them away to the Last Men, Jepperd creates a disguise for Gus which consists of dressing up as a hybrid kid to detract from the reality that he is one.

Despite his initial reluctance, Singh has taken over Gladys Bell's medical practice and has agreed to continue her studies. He uses a voice recorder to document his findings, referring to Rani as "Jane Doe" as to not give away her infection status. Despite agreeing to the role, Adi still finds himself disgusted with Glady's methods and is further reluctant to continue in her ways. Nonetheless, Adi's position is reinforced when the Last Men arrive with more supplies to aid him in is research.

Rani, believing herself no longer to be contagious thanks to the medicine, tells Adi that they should attend the survivors party. Adi tells Rani that the medications are no longer working, therefore he must accelerate his plans to find a cure. He further remarks that he is uncomfortable experimenting on hybrids given they are still half-human and are children. Rani tells him that she believes in him and that he can find a better, more humane way to continue the search for a cure; a way that does not involve experimenting on children.

Rani and Adi agree to attend the party. On the way there, the two talk about their neighbor who had his house burned down when he blew off the last party. That evening, just as Rani’s finger begins twitching again, everyone notices the host Doug’s finger twitching. The other guests strap Doug to a chair and a virus test is performed on him. When the test comes back positive, the house is set on fire and the organizers watch as the fire closes in much to the Singh’s horror.

Gus and Jepperd head to the train station to board the train to Colorado. Gus is excited about the prospect of being in disguise, and doesn't seem to understand the severity of the situation or the importance of the disguise. Gus becomes enthralled in the market and begins eating as many free food samples as he can. This draws attention to the two and Jepperd is forced to keep Gus in check. Gus tries his hardest to act human whilst Jepperd buys him a ticket. Gus is calmed down by a teen in disguise but is quickly pulled away from Gus as Jepperd gives him the ticket. Despite Gus pleading with Jepperd to come with him, Jepperd tells Gus that it is the end of the line for the two of them.

Jepperd is surprised when Gus alerts him to the smell of "candy", the same tablets he was seen taking earlier on the abandoned bus. Gus helps Jepperd locate the medication and he snatches a few bottles but finds himself at odds with numerous Last Men in the process. He is able to knock them out, but soon enough the Last Men become aware that Gus is a hybrid and the two are captured at the station. While being escorted, they're both saved by the Animal Army, with their leader being the girl Gus met at the market.

Meanwhile at a Last Men base, General Abbott, the leader of the Last Men, is informed that "she" has been found.
