Betty wakes up and sees that her hand is bandanged with some blood on it. She sees Samson at the microscope and asks what he is looking at and he replies that he is looking at her.

Nadia is awoken by a noise and calls out Bruce's name. She tries the lamp at the bedside but the fuses are apparently blown. She walks down to get to the fuse box in the cellar, wondering where Bruce is. She walks into the living room when something drips on her. She looks up with the flashlight and sees some type of creature on the ceiling.

Samson explains to Betty that the cancer cells are destroying the healthy cells, which is normal. But also some of the cancer cells are dying which is not normal. The Abomination's blood she was affected with is what is killing the cancer cells. The Abomination blood isn't killing them quick enough. He puts a sample of his blood into it which helps kill more of the cancer cells but still not enough to stop the cancer totally. Samson says they need to find another source of blood with stronger irradiated blood to kill the cancer and Betty assumes the Hulk. Samson thnks Bruce's blood should do just as well and since they know where he is, they can go get him.

Nadia drops the flashlight as the creature drops to the floor in front of her.

Samson tells Betty that he did some calculations and the Hulk was really treking to get from Home Base back to Nadia's house but he just can't figure out why since he was apparently fixing to leave for the road again. What did he see at Home Base that would make him leave immediately to Nadia's even though he know Samson and Betty were there with a bomb. The only thing he can figure is that Nadia was in serious trouble from something. Betty makes a smart comment about Nadia and Samson notices that Betty hasn't packed and she starts to head for the door. She is convinced that the cancer will win and that she is not going to put Bruce through anything more. Samson tells her that it is not time to give up but Betty says to let it go.

Nadia dives for the flashlight in the dark and manages to grab it. She turns and shines the light, to see the creature leaving the room.

Samson says that he is disappointed but Betty is convinced that it is her time to go and she's not afraid. Samson tries to change her mind but she just apologizes and fires the gun.

Nadia follows where the creature went and sees a blood trail going outside.

Betty stands there looking at Samson, who is in shook. Betty fired the gun just above Samson's head and the bullet causes rubble to fall down upon Samson, burying him.

She follows the trail which leads to the grave of Bruce's clone. She sees the cross she made on the ground and then sees an empty hole where the grave was.

Samson tries to dig himself out as Betty runs out of the cabin.

Nadia looks around some more and comes upon some coyotes and a recent kill from the pack but then hears a sound which she knows is not a coyote.

Betty runs for the helicopter with Samson close behind her.

Nadia is trapped as a pack of coyotes close in on her.

Betty makes it to the copter and takes off before Samson can get there. Suddenly Samson jumps up and breaks into the copter and says that he will drive.

Nadia is about to get attached with the creature appears and kills all the coyotes.
