Synopsis for "Eat Your Heart Out"
Deadpool and Valentine Vuong face off against Doctor Octopus, the Harrower, and the latter's horde of plant/animal chimeras formed from the Metropolitan Zoo's animals. Pointing to an amalgam between a lion, a tiger, and a Venus flytrap, Deadpool breaks the fourth wall to complain about how little it makes sense for a zoo to have a carnivorous plant exhibit. Harrower incredulously wonders who he's talking to, Doctor Octopus telling her to just ignore Deadpool's rambling. Valentine adjusts the Symbiote Inhibitor serum stored in Deadpool's backpack, causing "Renesmee" to sprout buff arms wielding a pair of katana blades. Deadpool and "Renesmee" go to town on Harrower's chimeras, Deadpool asking if the symbiote is still eating him from the inside out and offering to let it eat the zoo animals instead. Harrower incredulously wonders how Deadpool is able to control the symbiote, Doc Ock criticizing her poor handling of her experiment and sarcastically congratulating her for giving Deadpool a symbiote.
Doc Ock grabs Valentine with one of his tentacles, distracting Deadpool long enough for one of Harrower's monsters to swallow him. While Doc Ock brags that all one needs is the proper distraction, Valentine frees one arm and reveals they swiped one of Deadpool's pistols. Inside the monster's gullet, Deadpool complains that he doesn't want to get vored. As Deadpool and "Renesmee" shred the monster's head, Valentine opens fire on Doc Ock, injuring him. As they banter, Valentine spots Lady Deathstrike leaping towards them and shoots her. Evading the bullets, Lady Deathstrike kicks Deadpool in the head; Deadpool narrowly blocking her talons with his katanas. As Lady Deathstrike shouts that she hates bugs, Deadpool spots a group of mutant arthropods that attack Deathstrike. Doc Ock takes advantage of the distraction to attack Deadpool, Valentine shoving him out of the way. Doc Ock's tentacle rips off Valentine's arm, Deadpool reacting in horror. Harrower rips off his backpack, and dozens of symbiote arms abruptly burst out of Deadpool's body. Manifesting a nightmarish body jutting out of Deadpool's intestines, "Renesmee" calls Harrower its "mommy" and impales Lady Deathstrike with dozens of spikes when she tries to kill Deadpool. As Doc Ock reacts in horror, "Renesmee" asks if it can eat Harrower. Telling it to go to sleep, Harrower encases Deadpool in a giant flower and departs alongside Doc Ock.
Regaining consciousness, Valentine spots Lady Deathstrike's corpse nearby and injects her with a serum that heals her wounds and resuscitates her. Valentine tells Lady Deathstrike that she's going to help them rescue Deadpool, Lady Deathstrike refusing until Valentine cheerfully says that the serum she used to resurrect Lady Deathstrike contains a poison that will slowly and agonizingly kill her. Horrified, Lady Deathstrike realizes that Valentine isn't just a mere handler for the Atelier and ask who they really are. Disregarding Lady Deathstrike's question, Valentine says they're going to find someone who can reattach their arm and then go rescue Deadpool.
At the Harrower's lab, Doc Ock impatiently asks how long it will take for her experiment to come to fruition, Harrower admonishing him that flowers take time to mature and even longer to bloom. Doc Ock turns to leave, saying he has better things to do and has gotten what he wanted. Blocking his exit with vines, Harrower says she's not letting him leave until he tells her what he wanted out of their partnership given that Deadpool is still alive and she was the one who killed Lady Deathstrike. Doc Ock angrily demands she let him leave, but as they prepare to fight symbiote tendrils burst through the flower. Excitedly, Harrower exclaims that it's happening. Inside, Deadpool regains consciousness just in time to see a clone of Cletus Kasady erupt out of his torso, exclaiming that it's great to be back.
