Despite promising Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) that the quest to take down Jinx (Ella Purnell) wouldn’t change her, events in the undercity lead Caitlyn (Katie Leung) to putting the life of a child at risk to get her revenge. Unwilling to let her go that far, Jinx escapes, the bombs she placed around the city go off leading the to the toxic gas Piltover has been pumping underground for years to reach the surface, and playing right into the hands of the now quite desperate Ambessa (Ellen Thomas) as the episode teases more of the Black Rose and suggests that Ambessa is after something in the undercity that might offer her a chance to fight back.

Aside from the shattering of the Vi/Caitlyn relationship (as Caitlyn sees yet another loved one become a monster), and the epic throwdown between the two sisters which ends in a draw thanks to the intervention of Isha (Lucy Lowe), the episode also offers the continued research of  Jayce (Kevin Alejandro), Ekko (Reed Shannon), and Heimerdinger (Mick Wingert) leading to the Hextech go crazy all over the city including the the battle between Vi and Caitlyn and Jinx. The episode ends on the eve of another hiatus with martial law being declared and Ambessa propping up the distraught Caitlyn as the perfect head of a war with Zaun.
