The next morning at their makeshift forest camp, Yorick talks about rescuing Ampersand from a scientific study.

Hero and Sam are wending their way through Pennsylvania.

That evening, they get high in front of a roaring fireplace.

Hero fears her mom’s criticisms about Mike.

Once Sam is asleep, Hero sneaks out to the barn and sabotages the car.

Early the next morning, Agent 355 returns from a run.

Yorick is in his tent, watching iPhone videos of Beth.

He scares them away.

Back in Pennsylvania, Sam is heartbroken that the car won’t start.

He and Hero visit a nearby pharmacy, which has been cleaned out.

They do, however, stumble upon an injured Mackenzie huddled on an aisle shelf.

When they take a stab at help, Nora appears and threatens them with an ax.

Hero has Sam get medical supplies, and she does her best to clean Mackenzie’s infected wound.

At a local street market, Agent 355 tries to purchase a bike by trading their generator.

She gets the deal done by throwing in a hand grenade.

Dodging gunfire, they race through the market and hop on a motorcycle, and escape.

Yorick responds by yelling about the two dead pilots.

Though Agent 355 dares him to call her a murderer, he stops short of making that accusation.

That evening, Nora informs Hero and Sam that they’re all staying at a domestic violence shelter.

This upsets Nora since the nearest camp is in D.C., which they just left.

She lashes out at them and then apologizes.

Hero introduces herself and Sam as “Karen” and “Benji.”

In bed, Hero gets snuggly with Sam, and they begin making out.

Sam halts this, however, and things turn awkward.

Outside getting some fresh air, Nora hears a dog and then sees three horseback riders appear.

The marauders transphobically insult Sam and plan to execute everyone.

Nora convinces them otherwise by informing them that Hero is a doctor and thus valuable.

Hero is forced to tend to one of their comrades, who suffered a recent gunshot wound.

Despite their initial objections, Sam helps.

At their campfire, Agent 355 persuades Yorick to show her a card trick.

Yorick is pleased and shows her another card trick.

Hero finishes treating the injured woman, who’s still in bad shape.

The group’s stern leader Roxanne (Missi Pyle), returns.

Roxanne is grateful for the help and chides her followers for being so nasty to these strangers.

This changes the kidnappers' tune, and on Roxanne’s orders, they help everyone inside.

Hero is stunned to see that they’re in a fully stocked Costco-style retail store.
