Irisa tries to free herself from Irzu but is unable to do so. Believing she has killed Bertie and Sukar, Irisa tries to kill herself; Irzu stops her. Bertie shows up alive and well, as does Sukar. Nolan suspects something is wrong, but Irisa refuses to tell him anything. Amanda suffers from withdrawal symptoms and asks Niles for adreno (an illegal stimulant). Alak visits Datak in prison to tell him about Christie's pregnancy and ask his permission to leave the family business. Datak is furious, realizing that Stahma is running the business and deliberately keeping him in prison. Niles makes a deal with Yewll for her services in a special project, releasing her; she persuades him to release Datak as her assistant. Datak attacks Stahma but relents before he kills her.
