In Canada, Malina and Farah are attacked by Harris and a menacing EVO named The Shadow who zaps them with dark energy minimizing their powers. Farah is shot as Malina escapes in the back of a logging truck with the intent of finishing what they started.

Harris and his clones arrive and rescue their boss but are attacked by Miko, who defeats them all and recovers the sword. Erica escapes.

Back at Renautas, Erica learns Earth’s destruction is less than a week away; she accelerates her plans for humanity’s “starting over.” What a cruel and insane plan. But there’s more to come!!!

Following the car crash, Tommy teleports his injured mother to a nearby hospital where doctors declare that she’ll require a blood transfusion to survive. Tommy takes a blood test to see if he’s a match, but it comes back negative. With Emily, Tommy teleports to a blood bank in an attempt to save his mother. When he returns to the hospital, a nurse warns him that his blood test revealed that he’s an EVO and triggered an alert to the federal agency that tracks EVOs. As Tommy is about to teleport away, an agent threatens to kill his mother if he runs.

After the emergence of his powers, Luke  questions the quest of hunting EVOs. He tries to convince Joanne to return to a normal life, but she remains intent on murdering everyone on their list. Luke finally reaches his breaking point and bravely shows her his powers. Outraged, but ultimately unwilling to kill her husband, she leaves.

Miko and Ren head to Colorado to infiltrate Renautas headquarters and find Miko’s sword in order to save her father. While they travel, Ren uses social media to ask his fans to meet outside the building. When Ren and Miko arrive at the facility, there are dozens of video game fans in Katana Girl costumes lined up outside the gate. Mostly as a distraction but let’s just say it’s a kick ass costume.

Carlos decides he needs to upgrade his El Vengador gear if he’s going to be successful in his pursuit of Captain Dearing. Carlos builds a powerful new suit, equipped with armor and machinery. He also modifies one of Oscar’s old cars. But when Carlos takes the car out for a test run, his young nephew Jose locates the El Vengador hideout under the garage. Filled with new pride for his deceased father, Jose shows Father Mauricio his own powers. But the moment is short-lived, as Captain Dearing appears and captures them both.

In the Arctic, Malina and her protector, Farah, head south. Malina hones her abilities to control the elements as they hike through the forest. As she practices, one of Harris’ men spots them and tries to alert his companions. But before he can, Farah knocks him out and make a run for it.

Taylor begins to doubt her mother’s intentions at Renautas after the disappearance of her boyfriend. When she meets HRG and Quentin inside the facility, she decides to help them locate Molly. They find Molly in a large room of EVOs wired to machines. Renautas has discovered a way to harness their powers. As HRG tells Molly he wants to free her and find out what happened to Claire on June 13, Molly steals his gun, warning him to forget the past and save the future. She shoots herself in the head and are found out by security. HRG, Taylor and Quentin flee the room.

Harris tells Erica that the remote tracking component of EPIC won’t work after Molly’s death, making it harder to find persons with abilities. Erica is frustrated, saying the fate of the human race depends on finding these EVOs. She asks Harris about “the girl,” and he reveals that, before the tracking system went down, they picked up a strong signal in the Arctic.

The pieces have shifted with Molly Walker now dead. In the eyes of the enemy they would have to start over. For the rest of the Heroes, it’s their chance to keep going and stop Renautas from killing innocent EVOs. Where does the journey go from here? Check out this sneak peek at Thursday’s episode.

After escaping the secret Primatech facility, HRG and Quentin hotwire a truck and race toward the Renautas headquarters in Midian, Colorado, in the hopes of finding Molly Walker. En route, they stop at a hospital to have Quentin’s gunshot wound treated. At the hospital, HRG discovers he and Molly Walker were there a year earlier on June 13. Security footage reveals that his daughter Claire died at the hospital and not at the site of the Summit as he previously believed. Time jumps in the footage lead him to suspect that Hiro Nakamura was somehow involved.

Carlos remains intent on avenging his brother’s death at the hand of a group of bounty-hunting crooked cops led by Captain Dearing. Defeated after facing off against Dearing, Carlos confesses his doubts to Father Mauricio about becoming El Vengador. The priest explains that Carlos is critical to the success of the “underground railroad” of EVOs fleeing to safety.

Tommy is beginning to fit in at his high school after using his teleportation powers to secure beer for a party. His mother Anne is upset about Tommy’s sneaking out and she tracks him down only to discover that Tommy’s being shadowed Caspar Abraham. Anne confronts Caspar and admonishes him to leave Tommy alone. She then sweeps up Tommy and attempts to flee town, but they are involved in a horrific car crash.

Luke and Joanne  escape Primatech, steal HRG’s car and head off with his list of active evolved humans. When the car breaks down, Luke begins to exhibit solar-related powers of his own, which he hides from his wife. Solar energy absorbed by the sun I wonder what that would emit.

Meanwhile in Tokyo, Miko’s  attempt to infiltrate Yamagato Tower is thwarted by Renautas CEO Erica Kravid’s deadly right-hand man, Harris, who takes the magical sword. Her friend Ren sneaks into Yamagato to try to rescue Miko. After Miko severs Harris’ hand in a fight and escapes with Ren, we watch as Harris’ hand regenerates into an entirely new clone.

On her mother’s orders, Taylor Kravid takes Molly Walker to Midian in the Renautas jet. As they fly, Molly tries to persuade Taylor that her mother and Renautas are evil. When they arrive at Renautas, Molly is quickly drugged and tapped into for her EVO-locating powers. Erica Kravid unveils a bold new product named EPIC at a corporate presentation. Harnessing Molly’s powers, EPIC allows users to detect EVOs everywhere.

We see Malina, the mysterious young blond girl, accompanied by an adult woman with powers of invisibility as they trek across the Arctic. We watch as the girl seems to quell a storm and form a brilliant, shifting aurora overhead. Nearby, a group of Renautas’ goons begin using EPIC to track them down. Now it becomes clear…somewhat but more questions arise as to what really happened to Bennet on the day of June 13. Also using Molly’s powers to its full extent will endanger all of the EVOS. What’s to come of all of this? Tune in later this week for an all new episode.
