Bo, Sasha, Bao, Jack, Finn, and Brutas are marched into the new Hunter Camp, their hands bound and spirits heavy. Beneath the compound, Norman Ryder holds Hyde prisoner, grinning as he informs the group that Marc has been sent to a secure Mercenary facility on a distant island. Norman demands cooperation. He assigns Jack to help a Hunter named Grace Chambers move lumber for the new compound. Back in the cell, Bo, Sasha, Bao, Brutas, and Finn begin plotting. But Finn’s defiance earns him a brutal punishment—Norman severs his hand. Meanwhile, Jack discovers Grace isn’t like the others. She has a family, she's compassionate. When an opportunity arises, Jack knocks out a guard, aims his stolen weapon at Grace—then spares her. She begs him to leave with her. He refuses, but tells her to run. Returning to camp, Jack shares everything. A plan forms: Jack and Grace will free Marc while the others rescue Hyde. Jack sprints after Grace—she’s waiting. As Norman tightens security, Bao finally taps into his icy power, freezing the entire compound in a flash blizzard. Amid the chaos, Sasha and Bo find Hyde and free him. Norman is finally captured. Sasha nearly ends him, but Bo convinces her they need leverage against Mercenary. With Norman in tow, she and Bao leave to meet Jack and Grace on Mercenary Island. Bo, Brutas, Finn, and Hyde remain behind—watching over the broken Hunters.
