So now Logan has been exposed. A montage of shots shows Logan lying on the floor at Crash (Ew! Stale beer!) while Max, Alec, and assorted customers look on. Some EMTs show up. Logan is taken to the hospital and worked on by doctors. He's unconscious. Finally, the female doctor that treated Max when she was hospitalized earlier this season comes out and talks to Max, who pleads with the doctor to let Logan live. The doctor says that the virus that Logan has is "a mutated strain of a bio-warfare agent called Zycinor," and there's no cure. Max says that Manticore made the transgenics immune to many bio-warfare agents, including Zycinor. The doctor says that Max is a carrier, but doesn't get infected, because she has antibodies. Max asks if they could do a transfusion. The doctor thinks that Max would just reinfect Logan. Max asks if they could use another transgenic as a donor, and the doctor is willing to try.
Max calls Alec at Crash and tells him to get his ass to the hospital. Alec leaves immediately. A guy at the end of the bar radios to an unseen partner that Alec is leaving. As soon as Alec steps outside, a bunch of cops surround him; one of them says that Alec is under arrest. Meanwhile, Logan is not looking good at the hospital and Max is looking worried.
White visits his captive transgenic, Mule, who is busy shining boots for the goons. White notices that Mule is feeling well, despite being injected with the snake blood. Mule confirms that he didn't tell anyone about the snake blood injection. White is trying to be gentle, and explains that it was just a test that Mule passed. White reminds Mule that they have to keep it between the two of them. Mule nods uncertainly, and White exits the room.
Max paces in the hospital hallway. The doctor comes out and tells her that her transgenic friend needs to get there soon. Max begins to reassure the doctor that Alec will be there soon, but then realizes that he is "a completely unreliable jerk." The doctor asks if there is anyone else that Max can get, because this is the only shot that Logan has. Max thinks and then promises to be back soon.
Joshua lies on his porch, being licked on the face by a dog. A girl calls out and asks if someone is there, and if Joshua is hurt. Joshua tries to hide behind his hair. The girl says that her guide dog just pulled her off the sidewalk and up the steps. See, the girl is blind. Joshua waves his hand in front of the girl's face and realizes that she can't see him. She introduces herself as Annie and sticks her hand out. Joshua shakes it and says that he doesn't live in The Dreaming, trying to keep his identity secret. Joshua says he's visiting from "Mantia Coro." Annie compliments him on his English, and then starts to take off. Joshua watches her walk down the steps. She pauses on the street and calls back that it was nice to meet him. Should a blind girl really be traipsing about the streets after dark by herself? It's a guide dog, not an attack dog. Max pulls up on her motorcycle and yells out to Joshua that she needs him.
