Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores) and Frank Tate (Richard Zeppieri) are puzzled by Howlyn's (Alan Van Sprang) orders to destroy an Atavus stasis chamber on Easter Island. Nonetheless, they set out to do so, but are ambushed by Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer). In the ensuing crossfire, one of the hive's newly resurrected Atavus is killed, and another is wounded. Sandoval and Tate flee, leaving the wounded alien in Renee's hands. When she sees that the Atavus is just a boy, she takes pity and portals back to the Resistance lair with the boy.

Sandoval meets with Howlyn, who orders that the missing Atavus named Yulyn (Daniel Clark) be brought to him dead or alive. Back at the lair, Renee contacts FBI Director Hubble Urick (Frank Moore), asking that Yulyn be subjected to humane tests in order to develop an antidote for Atavus-human hybrids. Suddenly, Sandoval arrives, shutting down the power and releasing tear gas into the lair. J. Street (Melinda Deines) is able to generate enough auxiliary power to portal to safety, while Renee and a disguised Yulyn flee on foot, escaping in a taxi. They take refuge in a vacant apartment where Renee again contacts Urick, making arrangements to take Yulyn to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, where the alien will undergo tests.

Sandoval receives a tip about Renee's plans and sets up an ambush. After delivering Yulyn to the medical facility, Renee senses something is not right. Rushing back to the room where she had left Yulyn in the care of a doctor, she finds the youngster struggling with some Navy guards. They open fire on Renee, but she fights back and shoots them both. She quickly realizes the Navy guards have killed the doctor and his assistant. Another guard attacks Renee, but Yulyn kills him with his cleave. The lad tells her the attackers were hybrids. She is even more shocked when he tells her that he is Howlyn's son!

Renee takes Yulyn back to the apartment and contacts Street at the Flat Planet Café, just as Urick and several agents rush into the café. Urick commandeers Street's global communicator and demands that Renee turn Yulyn over to him, but she refuses.

Talking further with Yulyn, she learns he is not at all like his father. He is repulsed by the idea of feeding on humans. Like his mother, he would prefer that the Atavus return to their home world rather than commit such atrocity.

Sandoval and Tate track Renee to the apartment. Along with Howlyn, they burst in with weapons drawn. Howlyn gives his son an ultimatum; to feed or die. He throws Tate to the floor in front of Yulyn as a sacrifice. Before Yulyn can voice his objections, Renee drags him back to the portal. They return to Easter Island, where the lad is again free from his father's wrath. Yulyn voluntarily provides Renee with a blood and tissue sample in the hope of developing a hybrid antidote. Promising to someday return the youngster to his own planet, Renee puts Yulyn back into stasis.
