At the barricade, Gary returns badly injured; his boss and others press him. Gary insists he "didn't let intruders in" and says S‑Tier zombie Evan obeyed orders—"customer is king"—so he wouldn't attack, leaving Evan vulnerable. Ian coldly admits he "did this" and mocks Evan and Gary as losers, escalating the crisis. An alarm then detects a Thundra high‑energy gun at the base aimed at Mr. Ryce. The General orders an immediate rush to shield Ryce, ending the episode with the team racing to stop the imminent threat.
