Last episode, we had the revealation that the zinj is spreading all the way to the Capital and as a host, it is killing Gwynn! Gwynn is riding up to the Capital with Yavalla and Tobin. The remaining Three watch them approach. They find the commander is not following their order, One is destroyed, it is not clear exactly what blue energy disintegrated him. The last of The Three is put in prison. The people of the Capital cheer the arrival of the new trio. At Janzo’s lab, he is busy with Wren examining rats. They tell Talon the Zinj can’t be surgically removed. Garret is at the tavern with Zed sharpening his blade. He says Zed’s hatred of him is probably his relationship with Talon. Zed admits that he has Garret’s back and uses his zinj to have Garret hit himself! Janzo brings up fire to destroy Yavalla. He gives them a bomb that “destroys living tissue”! Science is fairly destructive. The killing of a leader to free others is like vampires.

At the marketplace, Talon puts Janzo in charge of The Outpost, Zed gives Wren rings to contact him. Wren worries that they are going to kill her mother. At the Capital, a figure of Yavalla stands in a square, Gwynn declares herself as queen and Yavalla as a god. A dissenter is infected with a Zinj. Janzo is at the throne when Wren enters and wants him to work on the Zinj problem. Zed, Garret, and Talon run to see soldiers kill the infected. The commander, Jaaris (Sam Callis) says they are headed to The Outpost and say that the Prime Order is gone. Talon lets them pass and they continue running down the road. Janzo is looking at the refugees with the mouse cage used to detect the infected. A Zinjed woman controlled by Yavalla slips past and gets some cheese from Munt. Morning, Garret wakens followed by Talon and Zed. She admits to Zed what she likes about Garret is his honesty.
Garret encounters a strange woman that he thinks is infected. A man comes and leaps at him! The man tries to infect Garret, but his knife kills him. Garret sends away the woman, he was suspicious about her, and returns to the camp. The woman watches them and Yavalla knows that they are on the way which she tells Gwynn. Janzo goes to the battlement to see the soldiers that are barred from entering The Outpost. He gives in and has the gates opened! It is clear that these soldiers are trouble, but Janzo allows them in which makes him responsible for their actions. They might take over The Outpost with Talon and Gwynn absent. Garret, Zed, and Talon enter the Captial walls. They see the gate is guarded. At the tavern, Walita tries to tell the soldiers that the tavern is closed, Jaaris wants a kiss from her, and he is threatened by Munt. Janzo tells him that he can be banished.

He seems to be weak after using the Zinj’s power. Jaaris orders the arrest of the Blackbloods! The Zinj used by The Three is unusual since humans shouldn’t be able to use them. At The Outpost, Janzo asks for Wren’s rings that control the Locuri. He kills one villager and then uses his power to cause pain in others.
