Ackerson urged the guard to shoot Janine but the guard stood motionless and unresponsive. Ackerson grabbed the guard’s gun and killed Janine. The guard proceeded to turn around, revealing he too was infected before he tried to grab Ackerson who ran out of ammo. Soren and Kwan see the infected guard on security cameras and rush to the detention cells. The guard, now with a flood tentacle, tries to attack them but gets killed by Kwan and Soren. Soren frees Laera and Kessler and then frees Ackerson as thanks for saving Laera and Kessler’s lives.

The infected all snap their heads back to face Kwan in unison. Soren, having escaped the area earlier with his family and Ackerson helps his family escape before turning back for Kwan only to find her running and yelling for them to go. Laera rushes Kessler out with Ackerson saying she’ll be right behind them before closing the door and locking it after everyone gets out safely.
