Bao Cho and Jack Grayson arrive at Jack’s desert base, only to find Alex’s lifeless body and Finn missing. Soon after, Hyde Harrison — the group's long-missing doctor — returns, shaken but alive. As the three piece together what might’ve happened, Bao insists they head back to his camp. Jack hesitates, unwilling to abandon Finn, but Bao is adamant — they need reinforcements. At Sasha’s house, Finn reappears. When he and Jack reunite, the full truth comes into view: they’ve all been fighting the same war, just on different fronts. As new plans form, Bao privately shows Brutas something impossible — a strange power awakening inside him… he can freeze anything he touches. Meanwhile, Marc and Bo confront Norman Ryder at the Hunter compound. He warns them to back down. They don’t. A brutal fight erupts, and they barely escape with their lives. But as they return to Sasha’s house, they find it burning to the ground. A single note remains: Come to the castle. Marc and Bo head to Fletcher’s old stronghold, where they’re met by Kitty Hall. She’s captured Sasha, Brutas, Bao, Finn, and Jack. Kitty tells them Hyde is with Norman now, forced to keep their fighters alive. Bo recognizes Jack instantly. Marc nearly shoots him, but Bo lowers his hand. Sasha begs them to focus — Brutas is bleeding out, and only Hyde can save him.
