As the destruction of the Altered rages, The Order releases the Holy water to make the changes that they have longed for for years. The only problem seems to be that Aiko won't let them do it without a final fight. With everything now at stake, who will overcome the biggest hurdle?

The battle bleeds into the Altered where Aiko and The Pope duel in final confrontation. With much at stake, all rests with them there while Jess learns as to what will happen if Aiko succeeds.

Having taken the tower and secured the machine, Jess and the order struggle to understand what is happening and why it perhaps was so easy. Meanwhile, Levon and Samuel unpick the mystery of Aiko's family, and how his sister is so familiar with The Altered. Aiko is not finished with them all it seems, especially now his plan has changed. 

As Jess and the Order storm the tower to stop one of the Pandora machines, Levon and The Pope attempt to save the Tanakas from Stefan's grip and whatever he has planned for them. Surprised by Aiko's appearance, they flee into to the Altered to save more than just themselves. 

Jess and the order storm the BET facility with hopes to stop the Pandora machine. Meanwhile Aiko decides that his plan has now shifted dramatically. Levon and the Pope decide to take action themselves, this time in the Altered with some new faces.

They return back from the Limbo safely, all except Levon who has been transported, unknowingly, to a facility at ATONE industries along with The Pope. Stefan and a Dr Camogue outline what they have planned for Aiko's family, as well as The Order.

Aiko returns back from the Altered, damaged and changed, but alive and told new information regarding his plan. With a lot not going his way, he is pleased to learn that something has gone right, and that he now has The Pope in his control.

Levon and Jess take her family to the Limbo to test the Order's pathogen. All seems to have gone well until Levon mysteriously vanishes.

Jess and Levon go to visit her family, hoping to get them to agree in helping them test the holy water. With the promise of change and a trip into the magic, they are all bewitched with the news and the chance to help.

Nina convinces Jess to help them stop Aiko and to test their own Holy water, on some subjects that Jess knows will be happy to help.

Aiko steps over into the Altered, protected and determined to travel through the gates of Asher. For his own purpose, and to advanced his plan. However, he is met with resistance from the Pope who refused him to pass. The darkness that threatens, consumes Aiko.

Nina outlines what problems they have and what is needed from both of them. Jess is impressed by all she has seen, and comforted by the friendly approach of those in The Order. She's ready to play her part, which is exactly what Nina requires. 

They speed beneath the city in the order's own transport, arriving up into the teacher's residence which seems to Jess to be a small zoo. Inside the library, they meet Nina who is Levon's teacher and is eager to let Jess in on what is needed.

ATONE industries develops their virus that will be released over the city, changing everyone, Fortunately The Order have developed their own, and Levon and Jess are needed to ensure they succeed before Aiko does. They leave the vault and head off to meet Levon's teacher.

Remembering his own first time in the Altered, Levon comes to understand Jess further, and why she is intent on helping the cause. She learns what is about to happen, and what she is going into battle for; as the things she knew of Aiko, were only half the story.

Aiko develops his 'EDEN' plan which will eradicate those with S.I.N once and for all. It will bring everyone to the same advanced genetical level, but with casualties. Not everyone is coming to his future.

Jess goes under, allowing the matter to enter her eyes in order for the baptism to work. She travels over to the Altered, reaching the stone makers and the bridge which has always alluded her. Returning, she is keener than ever to help The Order, now she is a part of it.

Karen decides to baptise Jess so she can access the Altered more. Jess is keen to help, and feels she is on the right path now after years of looking for something. 

Aiko heads across the city to a processing site where he updates his workers on his plan, and to see what stage they are at with it. He discusses their move to two sites in the city, and the relocation of many to the HET and BET skyscraper towers which are integral to his operation. 

Passing through the security akin to entering a secret lair, Levon unfolds the world of The Order to Jess, introducing her to The Bishop. She explains what The Order is about and what they are trying to do. Jess, though impressed by what she sees, is quick to challenge and argue their plan.

Jess and Levon head out through the city, coming face to face with the discrimination that they so badly wish to change. They navigate around the hatred, making their way to the sanctuary, the Church of St. Patricks; where Jess is to learn more than she expected.

Aiko Tsutsumi looks over his empire before him as the city stretches on. Atop one of his giant skyscrapers, he unfurls a plan with his assistant Stefan to put an end to those with S.I.N, who he feels, plague the city,

Levon is not surprised to find Jess in his apartment, she does this a lot. She is determined to change the system, to use the magic that she knows to right the wrongs that fester all around her. She brings news of an opportunity to do just that, but Levon counters with his own.

Levon steps into the Altered, the magical world where things can manifest and breathe of possibilities. Here he can re-charge, heal what has been taken from him in his giving, and can connect to what is important. 

Levon talks with his teacher, wondering what is next; what can he really do to help. Something is coming, something that needs to acted on. His life, along with others, will be changed forever.

What is S.I.N, why has it formed and mutated the genetics of these people who live in the city? The science that goes on under the skin, and has changed the landscape of human life forever. Sporogenous Infirmity Nano-mutation, but everyone now knows it's just 'Us' and 'Them'.

After his cleansing ritual, Levon hurries away from the appreciative crowd, back to his apartment where he can shake of those word so thanks that he feels are not warranted.
