The world is now falling apart and Elliot blames himself for this. He wants to be alone now to try to figure things out. He begins to settle his affairs by giving away his dog to his neighbour, disposing of his Mr. Robot jacket, and going to Trenton and Mobley's families to pay his respects. He also buys a lethal amount of morphine pills, with a bit of difficulty since the drug dealer is suspicious of his motives for doing so.

Elliot intends to commit suicide and goes to Coney Island beach to do so. But before he can take the pills, he is interrupted by Mohammad, Trenton's younger brother, whom Elliot needs to look after since he followed Elliot there and doesn't know how to get back on his own nor does he know how to.  Elliot tries to bring Mohammad back home but his parents aren't there, having left him alone while going out.

Through snippets of his memories Elliot is able to realise that Tyrell's location is the Red Wheelbarrow restaurant and heads out. He calls Darlene on the way and gives her the location to pass along to the FBI. Darlene is being ordered to convince Elliot to turn himself in but she only apologises to him for all that she's done.

The FBI agents go to their superior to ask for approval to go check the restaurant. However, the information gets back to the group and Tyrell must leave if he's not going to be caught.

Elliot has no memory of the past four days but heads into work on the day of the UN vote. He comes to learn that he has been fired from his job when he's unable to get into his company account (Angela had made the call to orchestrate Elliot's firing to keep him from interfering with their plans). He also discovers that Stage 2 is set to happen that day and his fail-safe was the only thing that prevented the Dark Army from blowing up a building.

Elliot attempts to shut down Stage 2 but has to run around the building to get away from security. He is eventually caught without being able to use the building's system to shut down Stage 2 so he tries to call in a bomb threat while by a large crowd on anti E-Corp protesters are loudly chanting outside. Darlene arrives at the protest and admits to Elliot that she has been working with the FBI and Angela is in cahoots with Mr. Robot. This allows Elliot to finally regain memories from the past four days.

The protesters escalate the situation to the point that they rush past the police barricade and run into the building. They spray-paint some walls and begin destroying computers. Workers are fearful for their safety, including Angela. She gets a call from Irving, who reveals that the riot is just a cover so that Elliot can copy important data from an HSM in a secure room which is necessary for Stage 2 to happen. Angela must fulfill this task and get Elliot what he needs. Angela is making her way through the building and hears that the UN has agreed to the annexation. A security guard is suspicious of her motives so she calls out to the protesters who then attack the guard and give her opportunity to get away. They continue to chase her but she manages to get herself into the room where she must retrieve the data for Elliot.

A woman enters the room Angela is working in and becomes suspicious of her but a protester breaks in and the woman maces him before running back out. Angela is disoriented by exposure to the chemicals but still gets into the back room and begins entering the coding instructed to her and getting the necessary data. She dons a hoodie and a mask and heads out into the chaos. Angela calls Irving and explains how she did the assignment instead of Elliot because she couldn't find him in the commotion and passes along the name of the woman that made her while she was working. She is then instructed to pass the retrieved data on to another Dark Army agent. The agent gives her a bag of food in exchange, leaving her shaken. She is then approached by Elliot in the midst of the sirens blasting, asking her if there is anything she wants to tell him.

Elliot shows up at Darlene's apartment and the two need to talk about their recent falling out. She wants to leave but he is insistent that she answer his questions about hacking her. She doesn't deny hacking him but refuses to let Mr. Robot hurt her again. Darlene gets Elliot to trust her enough to admit that Stage 2 was never called off. Elliot doesn't want Mr. Robot to have control over his life and wreaking havoc on others. Elliot admits that he wants to be the one to see where all of this will lead, which is why he hasn't turned them in to the authorities.

Elliot has grown suspicious that it's predominantly night time that Mr. Robot emerges to work on the larger plans so he asks Darlene to hide in Shayla's vacant apartment that night and follow him if he should go out. She does so and spots Mr. Robot meeting with Angela and heading down into a subway station together and loses them shortly after when they leave in a taxi.

Tyrell is outraged when he finds that Elliot has caused delays to some shipping records. Angela proposes they can move the paper records over the weekend, as only three days are left before Stage 2 will happen so time is of the essence. Tyrell and Mr. Robot get into a fight since Tyrell wants to take over the operation since he sees Mr. Robot as a liability. Mr. Robot grabs Tyrell by the throat and threatens him but Mr. Robot begins to glitch and Elliot emerges as himself. Once Elliot sees Tyrell and the room they're in, Angela tranquilises Elliot.

Elliot has started up his new job at E Corp and gradually begins to work his way up the power ladder.

Philip Price is making power moves to push a plan for ECoin but has yet to get China on board. Zhang wants a UN vote.

Zhang is determined that Stage 2 will move forward on the day of the vote regardless of the outcome of the vote, as a punishment against Price.

Elliot finally agrees to let Mr. Robot come out during a therapy session, as he wants to make more changes to rid himself of this influence after what happened with Darlene.

He refuses to talk to her any further and Elliot returns, none the wiser about what Mr. Robot was talking about when claiming they were compromised.

Lenny returns the sick dog to Elliot. Perhaps a canine companion will be good for Elliot's well-being. Only time will tell.

Red Oaks is a nostalgic, half-hour comedy series that has played an important part in the ever-expanding scope of original content produced for online streaming platforms. The third and final season is set to premiere on Friday, October 20 on Amazon Prime. Ahead of this, we met with series stars Craig Roberts and Richard Kind, who play father and son on the show, respectively.

Throughout our time together in which we're meant to talk about this last run, the two are eager to share their thoughts on various television and film content. This passion for creative content is a strong source of banter and chemistry that lends itself to the familial relationship they have played on the series for these three seasons in total. Roberts is a fan of the latest Twin Peaks run, which Kind tells him not to spoil since he himself has yet to watch it.

The final season sees Roberts' character David Myers pursuing his dreams of being a director even further by moving to New York City and taking up a job as a production assistant. Roberts himself has added the role of director to his artistic career and starring on Red Oaks has permitted him the opportunity to work with a variety of directors.

"I don't think I'll know exactly what I've learned from all of them till further along, but it's been a great experience."

Roberts and Kind spend more time apart this time around, as Sam Myers remains in New Jersey while David chases his dreams in the big city. Sam works to find a new path in life following his divorce from his wife. This recurring theme of the duality of change, and how it can be beautiful or painful, is largely central to the stories of the lead characters in their last run.

"That's interesting, that that's what you've taken from it," says Roberts.
"Yeah, I think we mostly just focused on the story for what it was," adds Kind. "But that's something that I think resonates with all of us. It's part of life and that's what the show is about."

With Red Oaks being part of a large rise in original content for online streaming platform, it displays one of the greatest advantages to the format - freedom from the interruptions and regulations of television-network advertisers. "The story can be more open in this format," says Roberts. "The scripts can flow into one another since most people that watch are going to sit down and watch an entire season at once. You can delve much deeper into knowing these characters," says Kind.

Those in charge of this show had an important advantage when planning out this season by knowing that it would be the last episodes ahead of time. When discussing the topic of show-endings, Roberts references The Sopranos as a stand-out in the history of ending series. "It's quite tricky, isn't it because there's only one way his story can end but he's so popular that you can't kill him, so what do you do? You have to cut to black."

When asked what their hopes are for the show's legacy in the long run, Kind is optimistic and passionate about what the creative team behind the show have put forth. "I hope it becomes a big cult classic. I think it's the type of show that more people would've loved if they had actually seen it. It's a sweet show, there's no malice in it. I don't know why we're not coming back for more but I think it ends on a good note and things are wrapped up well."

The final season of Red Oaks will premiere on Amazon Prime on Friday, October 20.

After Tyrell shoots Elliot in the abdomen due to the contingency plan Mr. Robot installed, ordering Tyrell to stop him if he tried to go against their plans, Tyrell is frantic in trying to save him. He calls Irving, a used car salesman that also is an agent for the Dark Army. Irving helps to clean up the situation and gets Angela's name given to him by a higher-up. Zhang is shown to be giving orders and expresses his intent that Elliot will die once he has completed his work for the Dark Army.

Elliot wakes a week after his shooting and finds he is in Angela's apartment. She tells him the electricity is out and has been so for the last week. She says the people Elliot is working with brought him to her apartment and didn't recognise any of them except for Tyrell. She was on her way to turn herself in to the FBI but was stopped by the Dark Army. Elliot wants to tell the police about what has happened but she pleads with him not to, saying if he does so she'll be killed. Elliot sets off to trace what has happened and to stop their plans.

Elliot returns to the firmware hack building but finds that it's empty. He is then reunited with Darlene and she demands answers from him about his disappearance and tells him that Cisco is dead. Elliot lies to her, claiming Tyrell wasn't involved in the plan, but shares other information with her about the back door into E Corp. The internet has been down for the last week so they will need to go to an underground hacker tournament to be able to get online so Elliot can close the backdoor. Though he is able to shut the backdoor, he and Darlene are spotted at the tournament by some Dark Army agents who force them out of the building before he can complete the rest of his work. They are helped by Irving, who arrives in a cab and offers them access to his laptop while he drives them to shake off the FBI tail that's been following them since they left the apartment. Irving calls in a false report on the car and the trio are able to stop for some food and have a discussion. Elliot calls off Stage 2, and Irving seemingly agrees to his demands. Elliot expresses guilt to Darlene about what his attempted revolution has caused, only worsening the problems he had hoped to fix.

Continuing to be consumed by his guilt, Elliot asks Angela to get him a job at E Corp so he can make things right. He also asks her to keep an eye on him and let him know if he slips back into being Mr. Robot, adding that she is the one that can tell since she knows him better than anyone else does. Elliot feels that Angela is the only person he can trust so she agrees to do so. But late that night, Mr. Robot emerges once again and Angela speaks to him and agrees to work with him to move forward with Stage 2. She brings him to Irving and Tyrell and reveals her intent to manipulate Elliot just as Mr. Robot does so that a new path can be laid to complete Stage 2. She is a firm believer in Whiterose's plan to destroy all that E Corp has ever done so that a new world can emerge.

Shelley writes a good-by letter to Pryce in which she talks about his funeral ceremony and how she hopes to see him again someday. Roman comes into the institute asking for Pryce to help him with his gunshot wound and is shocked to learn of Pryce's death. No vital organs have been hit but there is a lot of blood coming out of the wound. One of Pryce's subordinates removes the bullet and injects Roman with a clotting agent. Roman buries Peter's body in the wood and texts Annie from his phone to say that the job is done. He returns home and finds the baby is still missing, meaning Annie still has her. He arranges a meeting to try to get Nadia back but when Annie shows up, she sees Roman drives up and leaves without meeting him.

Peter meets Destiny in a limbo state. She encourages him to dig his way out or else Roman will keep killing people. Peter wakes to find several wolves digging him up and pulling him out of the hole. They all gather around his body to check if he is okay. He passes out again and then reawakens to find the wolves have all left.

Roman returns to find Olivia waiting for him but to weak to overpower him and steal his body. She tries to get him to team up with her to take Annie out but he refuses to help her, wanting for her to finally die for all she has done to him. He throws her out of his house and locks the door.

Annie returns to her home and finds an injured Peter sleeping on her sofa. She patches him up and he insists on being the one to take Roman out. She discourages him from turning against the moon and says that he should simply focus on getting his strength back. If he turns against the moon again, there will be no coming back from it. Annie later finds several voicemails left by Olivia, all asking to meet, while Roman discovers Peter is gone from his burial spot in the woods. Peter calls him and Roman tries to reason with him, saying he only defended himself and simply wanted to go home to Nadia. He says he doesn't want to kill anyone anymore and just wants his daughter back, after which they can all go their separate ways. Peter says Nadia would be better off dead than be with him. Peter reminds Roman that he killed Destiny, to which Roman reminds him that if he had just been honest with her about Andreas then none of this would've happened. Peter refuses, saying he will kill him at the next full moon.

Roman tasks the staff at the Godfrey Institute with finding Nadia and killing Annie in the process. Annie visits Olivia and reveals that she tracked down what happened to Dmitri, Annie's father. It's revealed that Olivia had actually killed him, which she excuses by claiming that she killed him as a preemptive move before he could kill her first. She then bites Annie and feeds on her until she passes out.

Roman returns to Godfrey Manor, ready to reclaim it as his own. Annie had left baby Nadia with Shelley, who doesn't know that the baby belongs to Letha and Roman, instead thinking it belongs to Annie instead. Aitor returns to Shelley and the two reconcile their relationship.

Olivia brings Annie to the Godfrey Institute and demands that one of the doctors make the transfer of her consciousness into Annie's body. The doctor manages to sneak a pick to unlock Annie's restraints so she can sneak into a holding chamber. Olivia threatens to kill the doctor if he doesn't open it so he gets to work trying to type in a manual override. While he works, Annie begins putting some gas on and says her goodbyes to Olivia before sticking a scalpel into an electric socket to spark a fire that kills her. Olivia screams in horror at the loss of her opportunity to stay alive. She cradles Annie's charred corpse when the chamber is finally opened and rambles to herself, falling deeper into her delusions, even biting a chunk out of her own arm before collapsing dead.

The full moon hasn't come yet but Peter breaks into Roman's home, changing into a wolf and attacking him. Roman is distracted by a vision of Destiny and as a result, he and Peter fall out a second-story window. Roman finds he can't move due to his body being broken. He begs Peter to kill him and save him a life as a broken man, and ponders how Peter will live the rest of his life as a wolf. Peter tears out Roman's throat and then his heart.

Finally, Shelley and Aitor are shown to be leaving Hemlock Grove with Nadia, ready to start a new life together. On their way out of town, Shelley observes Peter in his wolf form by the side of the road. The camera pans to a body of water in which one of Spivak's surviving offspring is shown to be swimming.

Hemlock Grove is available for streaming on Netflix.

Olivia has a dream of enjoying a feast but wakes to find that she bit herself while sleeping. Her hallucination of Ochoa advises her to use Roman as the host to transfer into. Olivia seems guilty at the prospect of murdering her sun but Ochoa tells her it is merely a matter of survival of the fittest.

Roman prepares to hunt down Spivak and has Peter coming with him. He senses that Peter is upset about something and Peter admits to having found Destiny's dead body. Roman advises him to learn to live with what has happened and to take comfort in the fact that they killed the man responsible for her death. He promises that when they come back, they will give her a proper burial but first he needs Peter to help him save Miranda and Nadia.

Olivia observes Roman leaving town so her Ochoa hallucination advises her to use Shelley as a temporary fix until she can make a permanent transfer into either Roman or Annie, as their bodies are preferable to her vanity. Shelley had taken some pills to try to put herself out of her misery when Aitor was arrested. Pryce brings Shelley to the Godfrey Institute to look after her in her time of need.

Roman and Peter arrive at Spivak's cabin and head inside armed with guns. Pryce calls and informs them of what he has determined from the research he has been doing into Spivak. His plan is to breed more creatures like himself by harvesting Nadia's eggs and fertilising them. They can kill Spivak by using some Upir venom which Peter has to extract using a needle injected into the back of Roman's mouth. Shortly after this they discover Nadia's need body in the basement. They discover that her corpse was home to one of Spivak's offspring. Roman and Peter chase after it and pour a drop of Roman's venom onto it and confirm that the substance is deadly to these creatures.

Olivia goes to the Godfrey Institute and convinces Shelley to give over her body to Olivia. Pryce is outraged by the prospect of killing Shelley but Shelley is too distraught to want to carry on. Pryce uses his last resort - showing Shelley footage of Olivia killing Norman. Shelley goes into a rage and knocks Olivia to the ground, beginning to strangle her and telling her she hates her. But she lets her up and Pryce has her escorted out of the building and forbidden from returning, seemingly unbothered about the leverage Olivia has on him.

Roman and Peter find a man that has been glued into a tub and dies when more of Spivak's offspring come bursting out of him into the pool of water. Spivak then emerges from upstairs and Roman demands to know where Nadia is. Spivak dances around the question and claims that Upirs and werewolves will all be dead soon and only his kind will be the ones to feed on humans. Peter dumps some of Roman's venom into the pool to kill the offspring in it. A fight breaks out in which Peter is forced to chase after the vial of venom when it gets knocked out of his hand and Roman begins shooting at Spivak which does little damage to him. Spivak grabs Roman up using his tail but Peter shoots at him from the side which gives Roman the distraction needed to bite him. The venom gravely wounds him, resorting him to a mere sea slug of sorts that Roman stomps out with his boot. Roman and Peter then find Nadia and leave the facility.

The delivery man comes back to the Institute and Pryce lets him in, trying to help him with the cognitive problems he is having. The man resumes his state of believing himself to be Pryce and attacks Pryce with a scalpel, shanking him repeatedly in the abdomen. Shelley finds him and tries to help but Pryce tells her there is nothing that can be done to save him. He only asks for a small favour, whispering it in her ear before dying in her arms. It's later revealed that Pryce asked Shelley to deliver a message to Randolph, the man Pryce was seeing. It's presumed that he wanted to tell Randolph he loved him.

Annie carves out a bullet so as to tip them with heparin.

Roman hires a new nanny with experience working for high-profile clients that require confidentiality. Peter asks if it's a good idea to bring someone else into Nadia's life but Roman reminds him that they can't look after him all the time without any extra help.

While Peter is out playing with Nadia at a playground, Annie arrives and reveals to Peter that Roman was the one that killed Destiny. She is honest about how things got out of control, Destiny hit him, she cracked her head, then Roman snapped her neck because he knew that Peter would never forgive him. Peter doesn't believe her until she says that she was the one that drew the cross on Destiny's forehead with her blood because there was nothing she could do to stop Roman. She gives Peter the special gullets and gun, along with a knife, saying that two bullets will be enough to put Roman down and then he must carve Roman's heart out to make certain he is dead. He also leaves Nadia with her saying to get them out of town.

Roman is running low on blood so he gets a hooker and feeds from her in an alley. Peter shoots him once but then the gun jams. Roman fights back and Peter tries to pull a knife on him. Roman then stabs him with the knife, asking how he found out. He immediately deduces it was Annie. He then bites Peter who collapses in the alleyway and Roman cries for all he has done and lost.

Destiny gets one of her friends to help poke holes in the story by questioning Baj, another one of the Romani men that was with Peter and Andreas on their night out. Destiny knows that something isn't adding up and the worst part of it all is that Peter is lying to her. She has also been working with police, listening to the recording of the 9-1-1 call placed that led them to finding Andreas' body. It's Roman's voice but he's disguised it to try not to be recognised so Destiny listens to it over and over, trying to determine whose voice it is.

Annie leaves Rooster Poot and Shelley invites her to come back whenever she'd like, wanting her to meet Aitor some day and to not disappear altogether.

Roman attends a board meeting at the Godfrey institute. One of the board members arrives and takes a semi-automatic weapon out of his briefcase and begins shooting at everyone. Roman and Pryce are quick to duck and hide beneath the desk but everyone else is killed. Roman then stands up and the gunamn prepares to shoot him until some security man shoot at him instead, forcing him to drop his large weapon. The man then pulls out a smaller gun and shoots himself in the head. Pryce observes a strange worm-lied creature begin to emerge from the man's head wound so he rushes the body to his lab. He removes the man's head and hooks it up to a machine that he pumps super-oxygenated blood into and tries to get a glimpse into the man's short-term memory. He deduces that Spivak got to this employee and uses a new technological program he's been developing to attempt to access the memories but they must hook another brain up to the machine to act as a router to clear the flow of images and Roman insists he be used so they can try to get some answers on where Spivak and Nadia is. Spivak had captured the man and flown him to the cabin but the man's brain goes dead. However, Pryce is able to determine that the man's eye is still working. Pryce scoops it out and realises it's a camera that Spivak is monitoring them from. The man's mouth opens and Spivak's voice begins speaking through as a sort of communication device. He taunts Roman and Pryce about their inability to find him yet and his still having Nadia in captivity.

She falls backwards onto a table, badly wounded and struggling to breath. Annie jumps and tries to help her, pleading with Roman to call an ambulance.

He lashes out at her, making perverse comments about how good she was in bed. The two then have angry, hate-sex.

Destiny wants to attack the leader of the Croatians but Peter arrives in time to stop her and intervenes. He tells the man to leave and feigns ignorance when Destiny accuses him of knowing the man.

Olivia wakes and finds Ochoa dead in the closet. She then realises that she was hallucinating him and that he had been dead for some time and hung up in the closet, all the while talking to herself and believing he was with her. In actuality, she had killed him when he had been saying his goodbyes to her because of the cancer impeding her brain's ability to function properly and perhaps also partially due to her not wanting him to leave. Olivia then visits Pryce and chokes him in his bed, demanding that he find a suitable body that she can be put into so the disease won't take her. Pryce then passes out due to lack of oxygen and it's unclear whether or not this is the extent of his injury or if he has been killed.

Peter tracks down The Tongue, who reveals that he admitted to discovering some counterfeit eggs to save himself and thus inadvertently caused the deaths of Peter's professional contacts. Peter demands to be set up with a meeting with whomever is in charge. Andreas later reveals that he and the other pack members want to lock up the Croatians in a building and set it on fire but Andreas wants to only go after the leader, Milan.

Pryce is finally able to escape the containment centre and pops some pills as he informs Olivia that she is infected with the disease that involves a creature growing inside of her. There is no way to surgically remove the creature because it so drastically intertwines itself with the brain and spine that attempting to remove it is all but guaranteed to kill the host. The disease doesn't infect humans, as Spivak specifically engineered it to try to exterminate the Upir. Without treatment, Olivia has roughly one month to live. Olivia reminds Pryce that if she dies, her failsafe will be activated and all his dirty secrets will be revealed to the world, ruining his career and making him a wanted man.

Roman wakes at the Godfrey Institute after Annie brings him there to be treated by Pryce. He seems to be recovering well enough but Pryce warns him to take it easy for the next twenty-four hours. Annie also brought along the body of the creature that attacked Roman and has been hunting Upirs, and Pryce is eager to dissect it. Upon further inspection of it, Pryce finds that it has similar attributes to Upirs but that doesn't make sense because Upirs do not feed from other Upirs to survive. But a tumor in the corpse reveals that some sort of experimentation has been done on the Upir to compel it to feed on other Upirs to survive.

Roman and Annie head back to Roman's home where Peter had only just learned of Roman's injury. Roman welcomes Annie to stay there for some time being and she heads upstairs in time for Ochoa, the private investigator, to turn up prepared to give over some information that will tide over Roman and Peter's search for Nadia and Madeleine while Ochoa continues to conspire with Olivia. Ochoa provides Roman and Peter with the evidence he found that would indicate that Spivak has been alive without aging for at least the last seventy years. Ochoa proposes that there is something supernatural at work here.

Annie comes downstairs and asks Roman about the book she found of Spivak's containing a drawing of a creature called the Omul Negru, also known as the Upir boogeyman. Roman is insistent about learning more and Annie suggests getting in contact with an Upir friend called Nate that would know more about it than her.

Ochoa returns to Olivia and relays another update on what has just happened with Roman and Peter and suggests that Shelley might be staying there, as he had heard Annie's footsteps upstairs but didn't see who was causing the noise. Olivia insists that Ochoa help her to break into the home so she can see if Shelley is there. Once inside, she finds a family photo with her face torn out of it. Ochoa promises to find Shelley, wherever she is.

Back at the Godfrey Institute, Pryce accidentally rubs some of the corpse's blood into his lines and he becomes infected with the virus. Immediately, his eye turns red and it spreads to the skin surrounding his eye till he collapses to the ground and begins gasping for air. Another doctor at the Insitute injects him with an EpiPen that revives him. Doctor Klaus suggests that Pryce get some sleep but Pryce remains determined to keep working.

Roman admits to Annie about why he wants to learn about this creature and how Spivak kidnapped Nadia but only says that the baby was Letha's without admitting that he is the baby's father. They reach Nate's place where other Upirs are there for dinner. Everyone must exchange pleasantries and have dinner before Roman can ask about the answers he is searching for.

Pryce's behavior is growing increasingly erratic, as he begins to set up a drum set out of various equipment from the Institute. He thinks that drumming is helping him to unlock the answers he is after and ignores Klaus' continued recommendations that he get some sleep.

Peter becomes alarmed when he finds out Andreas is planning on not only stealing some guns but some heroin too. Peter doesn't want drug-dealing going on in the family home but Andreas will not be muscled over by him so easily.

Shelley has taken up residence in a run-down building where other homeless people have taken up residence. She meets a kind man named Aitor Quantic who brings food that's past its expiration date that he's supposed to take to the dum but is still good enough to eat so that the homeless won't go hungry.

Nate is shocked by Roman's questions about the drawing of the creature resembling Spivak. He then finds another drawing and shows it to Roman, who identifies it as Spivak in his winged-reptilian form. Nate identifies it as the Jörmungandr, a creature that dates back to 14th century Norway. The mythology states that it grew large enough to wrap around the entire world and bite its own tail. It is also a sign that foretells the end of days - the apocalypse. But the more realistic interpretation of the folktale is that the large-as-the-planet creature is a collective memory of an entire ancient species that was evenetually wiped out. Only Spivak appears to have survived and he is inconceivably vicious. Roman becomes alarmed by the danger that Nadia must be in now and storms off angrily. But the party is interrupted by an attack from more of the infected Upir that intend to feed on all the party guests. Roman and Annie begin fighting them off and Nate then leads them to a barn where they can barricade themselves in.

Destiny returns home and Peter tries to ask if she is rushing into marrying Andreas, having only been dating him for four months. She interprets his concern as nothing more than his inability to move on and let go after losing Letha. Destiny later decides to perform some magic when Andreas takes too long to come home. She has a vision of some children playing together though it's unclear what the deeper meaning is, if any.

Roman attempts to run outside to get help but tries to run back when he is quickly surrounded by more of the creatures. Nate tries to stop Annie from letting Roman back into the barn and while Roman must fight one of the creatures off he discovers that the creatures are disoriented by light. Annie is able to break free from Nate's grip and let Roman back in, who then informs them of the weakness he has discovered. Roman then admits the truth to Annie about how Letha was both his cousin, half-sister, and how Olivia compelled him to have sex with Letha who never knew the truth about what happened to get her pregnant. The creatures break into the barn and Nate runs out to leave Roman and Annie to fend for themselves but he is swiftly killed outside by another one of them. Roman uses a flashlight to disorient the creatures that were trying to attack them but the battery begins to die. But the creatures are called away by the one that had killed Nate so they can all feed on him together. This allows Roman and Annie to escape.

Pryce continues his investigation while high from being infected by the corpse, all the while his online activity is being monitored by Ochoa who relays the information onto Olivia. There was one particular video that Pryce had been watching repeatedly so Olivia watches it and finds it's an infected rat acting in a strange, aggressive manner.

A man screws up at his job as a mortician and is fired as a result. When he goes back inside to retrieve something he forgot, he finds that his former boss is dead on the floor after being brutally murdered. This is Hemlock Grove after all, so it's probably the same monster that's been introduced in the season premiere as the one hunting down people and attacked Roman in his home.

Roman checks the spare bedroom where he had allowed Annie to stay but finds she's gone. She later reveals herself as not having left but was simply taking a shower. The two discuss the monster that attacked him the night before. Annie wants to go back to her hotel but Roman first asks her how she feeds and what she does with the bodies. She says she doesn't have to kill anyone and seems surprised that no one had taught him how to live and feed in the modern world. She shares how most Upirs work in professions that allow them to be close to blood. She herself works as an ER nurse. Peter shows up with a box of his things, having previously made an agreement with Roman that he would be able to move in and stay at his place to give Destiny and Andreas some space.

Olivia is taking care of Shelley and encouraging her to take some prescription medication. Shelley doesn't like how the pills make her not feel things but reluctantly takes the pills anyway. A man comes to visit Olivia, searching for Norman as he was a patient of his and recognised Olivia from a photo on Norman's desk.

Peter is skeptical and weary of Roman bringing Annie into all the supernatural drama they have but it shocked when Roman reveals that she's also an Upir. Roman wants to keep Annie around, as he feels connected to her and also wants to take the opportunity to learn about how to function as an Upir. Peter then calls Destiny and asks her to come use her abilities to figure out what attacked them. Destiny eats a piece of broken glass from the scene and becomes frightened when having visions of the monster that attacked Roman. She coughs up the glass shard and is visibly shaken by what she has seen and also speculates that the monster went to the mortuary seen at the episode's beginning after attacking Roman.

Olivia meets with the double-agent PI who shows her what he has found in his search for Spivak. When investigating Spivak's abandoned apartment, he found a war medal baring the name Ryan Dunbrack and upon further searching he found a photo from 70 years ago of the Ryan Dunbrack that looks identical to Spivak today. The PI doesn't know about the supernatural world so he presumes that the man is Spivak's father. Olivia then says she needs to tell the man the truth about Roman - looks like she'll be spinning some lies to turn him against Roman.

Spivak is shown to have another woman hostage in a cabin in the woods along with Madeleine and baby Nadia. The other woman attacks Spivak by stabbing him in the neck with a fork and he in turn spits his acid saliva onto her face which then melts off. Afterwards, he throws her body down into a cellar. Spivak has been experimenting on Nadia in the basement, much to Madeleine's horror.

Olivia shows the findings about Spivak to Pryce. She wants more nutrient but it isn't ready yet and Pryce's behaviour appears to be growing increasingly erratic.

Shelley tries to commit suicide by strapping a chain around a tree branch to hang herself but when she attempts to do so, the branch breaks and she simply falls to the ground.

Peter and Andreas meet with the Croatians to sell them the product. The deal goes well but afterwards, Peter is alarmed when he does the math and realises that Andreas has scammed the Croatians by tricking them into thinking there's double the amount of product then what they actually had. A specialist is brought in to verify that the product being sold to the Croatians is legitimate. He confirms that it's the real deal since thankfully he sampled part of the supply that was real.

Roman and Annie bring Destiny to the morgue so she can try to track the monster. They feed on some of the blood stored in a vat while Destiny tries to sense anything that can help them. They are able to figure out that the mortician that was killed was an Upir. This means that the monster that attacked Roman is specifically hunting Upirs.

Madeleine attacks Spivak by knocking him in the head with a candlestick. She grabs the keys so she can run outside and leaves Nadia behind, claiming that she'll come back for her before running out into the woods. She hails down a couple in a car and asks to use their cellphone. She sends a text message for help but then Spivak drives up. She wants to hide and stay away but decides to give herself over when Spivak begins playing with the couple's infant. He sees that Nadia sent a message for help and tells her to get in the car with other thinly veiled threats, tough the couple are none the wiser.

Olivia visits the man that had come looking for Norman. She tries to attack him but appears to be too weak to kill him quickly and barely feeds on him at all. She later goes to Pryce to try to figure out what's wrong with her. He gives her a glass of blood but she can't seem to tolerate it. For some unknown reason, her biochemistry is such that she is having trouble consuming blood. It's a mystery of what she should feed on.

Andreas reveals to Peter that the Tongue (the man who was in charge of verifying the authenticity of the caviar) was bought off so they could scam the Croatians. Peter is still angry at Andreas for putting their lives at risk which would've left Destiny alone without those closest to her. Andreas apologises and says that all the money he has earned is supposed to go towards building a life with Destiny.

Annie confides in Roman that she once had a family but they died due to her being immortal and them not. Destiny then comes over and warns them that the monster is still there. Roman gets the text from Madeleine, which is hard to understand as she was distressed when writing it so it's a lot of capital letters and mostly illegible. But then they are attacked by the monster and Destiny is able to overpower it by injecting it with the tool used to drain corpses. Roman then begins to suffer from a seizure and the cause is unknown.

Madeleine is brought back to the cabin and Spivak forces her to go down to the basement which she is terrified to have to enter.

Olivia returns home and finds that Shelley isn't there. She is shown to have run away.

Finally, the family that had pulled over for Madeleine are shown to be dead and frozen in their car when discovered by some local police officers.
