Synopsis

Lauren convinces her parents to help her destroy Madeline's research before she can use it to eradicate the mutant race. Madeline's assistant Noah catches on to what Lauren is up to after she has him show her the refrigerator where the lab stores samples of the X-gene. Madeline, Noah, and security guards catch the Struckers breaking into the storage refrigerator to destroy the samples. While arguing with Caitlin, Madeline says she thinks mutants like Lauren and Noah are a "curse" on their family who should have never been born. Horrified, Noah disables his inhibitor, helps the Struckers get away, and then destroys the samples himself.

Johnny discovers Regimen - the tech company whose records the Inner Circle stole from Creed Financial - is responsible for maintaining the inhibitor collars the Sentinel Services use to detain mutants. Johnny, Marcos, and Clarice kidnap one of Regimen's employees and bring him to the abandoned clinic where they force him to look through Regimen's records for a clue towards the Inner Circle's next target. Both Marcos and Clarice are bothered by the extreme measures Johnny is willing to go to get ahead of the Inner Circle before they start an all-out war between humans and mutants. Furthermore, the brazen kidnapping of a Regimen employee prompted a city-wide manhunt for the three of them, and they're closing in. The Regimen employee is suddenly killed by Fade, who was dispatched by the Inner Circle to prevent the Underground from discovering what their plans are. Johnny and Marcos stop Fade from getting away, but sounds of their fight clued the Purifiers in to their whereabouts. Johnny holds off the Purifiers' truck on his own while Marcos and Clarice escape with Fade. With Johnny pinned between the truck and a dumpster, Jace Turner gets out of the truck and looks Johnny in the eye to let him know he's been captured.

Meanwhile, the Inner Circle holds Rebecca captive inside a tortuous sensory deprivation chamber to prevent her from escaping. Andy becomes disillusioned from Reeva's mission over what they're doing to Rebecca. He breaks Rebecca out of the chamber so they can run away together, but Rebecca wants to get her revenge on the Inner Circle before they leave. Just as Rebecca is about to kill Reeva, Lorna, Sage, and the Frost sisters, Andy knocks her down with his mutant powers. The force of the push sends Rebecca flying across the ground, her head and neck violently colliding with the wall to kill her. Andy is distraught over what he was forced to do, but becomes committed to the Inner Circle's cause again once he discovers their next target is the company that makes the inhibitor collars, and thus played a role in transforming Rebecca into such a violent person. The Inner Circle's mission goes off without any problems as Lorna and Andy destroy the servers that control the inhibitor collars. Riots break out in mutant detention centers across the country as the prisoners realize the collars are no longer holding them back.
