Synopsis

Alice enters the mall and manhandles Lex out of bed looking to obtain the antidote for her sick sister. Lex takes her to Tai-San's lab and Alice takes the antidote — and Tai-San. Once at the farm, Tai-San promises to Alice she won't leave until Ellie is better — which is soon as it happens.

Ebony and Lex lead a rescue party to retrieve Tai-San but Ebony isn't after Tai-San — she wants her antidote formula. When Ellie recovers, Alice gladly sends Tai-San back to the mall with Lex and Ebony who is forced to change her plans to abduct Tai-San when Alice decides to join them as Tai-San's new bodyguard. Along with Ellie, the group arrive back at the mall where a banquet is held to celebrate Tai-San's return.

The tribe begins to freely distribute Tai-San's antidote to the city's infected unaware KC is collecting "donations" from those in the queue outside the mall. As Jack begins to investigate his theory that the observatory was booby trapped, the Zoot cult draws closer and a beloved tribe-mate gets back on his feet.

Trivia

• Majority of the cast debut new tribestyles from this episode onward, ditching their looks from Series 1.
• Although Jessie Curunathan is credited as Dawn, she does not appear in this episode, meaning her scene was most likely cut. Strangely when Dawn appears in the next episode, she is not credited.
