The episode starts right where we left off with episode 6. Vano has just fallen over and Elyiaes and Obi are running out the door to catch a live Lavender Bloom victim.

Obi is hyped up on Streak and agrees to be bait. He will draw one out so Elyiaes can restrain it in a trap. Obi then runs off, heading for the biggest one he can see while Elyiaes makes a rope snare.

Obi bangs a crowbar, and instead of getting just one's attention, he calls the attention of a few. He leads them to Elyiaes. As he's being chased, he fires a crossbow bolt at one of them and removes a tentacle. As he meets up with Elyiaes, he lets him know there are more than one and shoots the damaged one again, but it continues its trek towards them.

Both Elyiaes and Obi leap over a wall as they are chased by Edwed Majors who have become monsters. Taking a third shot, Obi takes down the monster closest to him, and he and Elyiaes watch the body fall. The tentacles are still alive. The other two monsters notice as they come closer to their fallen brethren and flee in opposite directions. Obi concludes that they are intelligent and may not fall for the same trick again. He encourages Elyiaes to take the current monster as a fresh sample. Elyiaes cuts the head off of the monster with a piston and an enchanted hammer.

A monster has been snared, and Obi leaves Elyiaes to deal with it while Obi chases after another. He succeeds at taking another one down.

Elyiaes starts to use his hammer to attack the monster. After taking a hit, the monster attacks back and marks up Elyiaes with its tentacle. The attack has both Acid and barbs slicing into his skin.

Obi returns to kill the monster attacking Elyiaes. He gives an Alchemist set to Elyiaes, explaining that he brewed drugs back in the day. Elyiaes asks if Obi is from Teklinesh and if he knows Skul'Pratla. Obi admits to being from the island but never had to deal with Skul'Pratla.

Suddenly a sound lets the two know that a collection of the creatures is after them. They get inside to where Vano is, and Obi stabs his sword into the biggest one. The crowd of them is getting worse as more and more Edwed fall victim to transformation. Elyiaes and Obi drag Vano's body into a room as the creatures continue to close in.

Elyiaes manages to create a tinker toy that sounds like a dead monster. The sound seems to convince the monsters to leave. For a moment, Elyiaes and Obi do quick work. Obi moved the bodies from one room to a safer room deeper in the building. Elyiaes discovers the differences between the blood ichor samples that are present in different stages of infection.

The horde comes back as Elyiaes is discussing his findings with Obi. The toy-making noise no longer stops them and they pour into the building. One of the monsters manages to shoulder check Elyiaes and gets its fully formed tentacle around him.

Gritzern shows up in time to stop the incoming creatures for a moment. He frees Elyiaes and yells at Obi as he heroically battles the creatures. They exchange information as Elyiaes and Obi get the door barricaded. Together they talk through the drug in the bloodstream and how ordinary Lavender Bloom does not do this. Gritzern continues to hold the door as Obi starts to chemically engineer the antidote. Elyiaes guides Obi through the process as he barricades the doorway more. Obi is now coming down from Streak, and it affects him. Despite the oncoming withdrawals, he makes a small antidote that he pipetts out to an Edwone's eye. Her symptoms slowly begin to reverse. Obi gives the pipettes out to be disputed by Elyiaes and helps Gritzern keep the swarm back.

Elyiaes gives Vano a drop in his eye, and he sees results.

Elyiaes pet golem emerges at the door through the archway, now clearing a path for the group. Elyiaes' mechanical bird also returns to him.

Elyiaes finishes giving the antidote out, a little girl is saved and runs towards her dead mom. Obi attempts to comfort her, but she's distraught.

Gritzen guides Obi, Elyiaes, and Flitz through the streets back to the waiting ship. Flitz carries the body of Vano.

As they board the ship, Gritzen smiles for the first time, teeth showing through his jaw. He says, "Welcome to the next adventure; it'll probably be our last."

Red Tie Russell gives us the outro, thanking us for supporting Spawns of Chaos. He asks us to take care of ourselves and provides us with a goodbye.
