The Mall Rats arrive back home, despondent and still reeling from their loss. Lex, Tai-San and Ebony bring the antidote to the Mall, while Bray brings Danni.

The Mall Rats find themselves harassed by kids desperate for the antidote. Following her destruction of the formula, Tai-San searches for herbs to create her own version of it while the Chosen continue their journey to the City.

Just as the gangs are preparing to flee the Mall, Tai-San claims that she has made the antidote. Trudy feels increasingly alone, while an enraged Alice and others arrive at the Mall demanding the real antidote.
