Episode 2 - Part 1 cont.: Reeling from the death of his friend, Phil searches for answers. Using an address he finds in Mo's phone, Phil visits Sarah Fischer and learns some startling information about secret groups who have the power to both manipulate the human genetic code and to make allergies deadly.

His wise friend and mentor, Jakob, knows a way, but the price will cost Gwellyn greatly.
