During a lesson at the Freeland school, Tavon one of the students, is taken away by the ASA suspected of being a Meta. Whilst the class and their teacher try their best to stop them taking him, he removed promptly. Blackbird helps him and delivers him to the wood and the ‘Perdi’ where he will be looked after, instead of being kept in the ASA facility. With blackbird interfering continuously, it doesn’t take long for Odell to get annoyed and suspicious with blackbird’s identity. After looking through Blackbird footage he narrows down her identity and Anissa’s face is generated on his computer screen.

Jefferson asks if she is ok and Lynn insists that she needs to go back to ASA lab to continue her tests. She looks for her bag at the side of the bed and takes another green capsule; she is now an addict to the Meta vaccine pill, which Odell had planned all along.
