The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Wolfgang reveals to his uncle that as a boy he killed his father, and now Steiner, before finally killing him. Will and Kala help him escape. Kala is horrified by the violence and Wolfgang realizes that they have no future together. Riley is transported to the BPO facility. She relives the car accident that killed her husband and newborn daughter. Will races to the facility in Iceland. Yrsa visits Riley, telling her to kill herself to save her cluster. Riley grabs a guard's gun, but Will convinces her to stop.

The whole cluster bands together to help Will rescue Riley. As they escape, Whispers makes eye contact with Will and gets inside his head, while continuing to pursue them. Riley panics when they drive by the car accident location. Jonas tells Will he needs to kill himself in order to save his cluster. Instead, Will takes enough sedatives to knock himself out, and talks to Riley about their feelings for each other, convincing her to find the strength as the cluster's only chance. Riley escapes with an unconscious Will on a boat, as all eight sensates see each other together for the first time.
