Previously

Elle unleashes her Darklings onto the infected and kills all of them. She explains these Darklings were made by her and not the Darkness, thus she has control over them. Elle says that after Sierra Muñoz hid in the shadow until she recovered from her wounds. Then she left the city in search of Jackie as military was looking for her. By hiding in trains and car Elle finally reached the states. After she felt such an upheaval in the Darkness, Elle manages to track down Jackie. Jackie then tries to create an antidote for the virus, but fails as the infected are full of mutating Darkness bugs. He decides that he needs to find and destroy the source of this and Elle promises to help him.

Meanwhile in the city, Aram is approached by a clone of Jackie that was made in parking garage when he was hunted by the Hunter-Killer team. The clone is now under the control of the Darkness and is interested in Aram's motives being in the city. Aram explains that he's here to watch the final battle between Jackie and it.

Elsewhere in the city, Jackie and Elle hide in an empty apartment in Omaha. He listens to the radio trying to understand the magnitude of the infections. Jackie is puzzled as to why the Darkness do such thing. Elle explains that the Darkness is just evil and always yearns for destruction. They're interrupted by Aram who comes to give Jackie his crystallized arm that he left behind after the encounter with Alkonost. He warns Jackie to use this weapon only as his last resort.
