A suspicious-looking man takes pictures of Max. She follows him and is surprised that he seems to possess super-natural strength.

Tinga, who escaped to Canada in #1.12 with other X5's, when Eyes Only warned them their locations were compromised, comes back in town to save her husband and son.

Just as they are kissing, Zack interrupts with bad news about Tinga. They must go rescue her from a secret government facility.

Lydecker realizes that he has lost control over Manticore, as Madame X is now clearly running the show. He would rather see the project destroyed than see it abused by others. He asks Max for help in bringing Manticore down. Together with Zack and other X5's, they storm the facility and destroy the DNA lab.
