In a dramatic showdown, Mia, Max and the synths go into battle with humans; Laura, Niska and Mattie face monumental and life-changing decisions.

You are ready now.

What's Basswood?

We turn the power back on, so they plug themselves in.

Max must confront a friend turned foe. Laura reels from her heartbreaking decision, but when Mattie reveals her secret, she is spurred back into action. Niska's journey takes an unexpected turn, while Leo races to be by Max's side, but walks into danger.

I never wanted to deceive you, Max.

Max is right.

Look after yourself.

I am merely the means through which he works.

There must be something more.

It's not too late.

It wasn't your fault.

The Synth responsible is Anatole.

when he does, he'll put two and two together.

How is Sam?

The sound's not working.

Sound on.

Or a warning.

You don't have to pretend to be something you aren't any more.

Welcome home, Leo Elster.

Oh, that's half a day's walk. There's nothing out that way.

So I started thinking maybe she'd be better off with someone else.

But he'd never leave his people in danger.

One of the greatest in history.

Everything.

Where are you taking me?

I don't really know why you're asking me.

supposedly dead son, Leo.

I was bluffing. No idea what would happen after five.

..going to kill them?

how you feel towards them, but I do.

Stanley and Anatole's true colours put Laura and her family directly in harm's way. With Mia speaking at the commission, Laura must do everything in her power to stop an awful attack. Leo and Mattie return to the Elster house where Leo comes to understand a painful truth, but Mattie has a secret that could knock their fledging relationship off course.

Don't you want to jump with me, Leo?

Um, two adults please.

Someone to believe in, someone who has all the answers,

What's his name?

I'll get it.

No.

we're trying to help you.

If you say anything, your children will die.

You're here, Leo, you're alive.

- Take care of them. - I'll try my best.

Mia...

Well, we sit here and talk at great length

We have a voice and it will be heard.

Please leave by the nearest exit.

- What? - I'll explain on the way.

Violence is...

While Sam reels from the events of Waltringham and Joe struggles to help him through it, truths are revealed and dangerous plans put into action at the Railyard.

Well, it may not feel like much but this is real progress, Stanley.

So, I definitely don't need to go to school today?

It's this faulty new orange eyed chap they've got doing the rounds.

Sam, love... uh, we just want to make sure

I don't know what I like to do for fun.

See you later.

Is, um, Laura... there?

I've been so angry at them, for so long.

when nobody amongst them is even affected?

Dude, you have to ask more interesting questions,

Leo, I count and you hide, OK?

I've got this. You can drop me off on the way to college.

Curious about employment on the other side of the world.

You haven't seen Sam, have you?

Must be one of the few things this school actually does well.

- I'm guessing? - Mm, something like that.

You scared me.

Come on, Joe! Ideas would be appreciated.

It's why we bury our loved ones, have funerals.

For the first time in... I don't know how long,

and still claim things can't be sorted?

She actually did it.

I don't like it.

Laura leads a tense Dryden Commission on a visit to the Railyard, but will Agnes' anger threaten its success? Mia comes face to face with Ed forcing her to confront her past, while an evening out for Karen, Sam and Joe turns to tragedy.

How many of you are there?

You must miss them?

I hope at the end...

Well, do you feel better?

Looks like we are just gonna have to eat out next time,

It's all right.

How about we go inside and finish our wine?

As Leo struggles to come to terms with being human, Mattie takes him back to the Hawkins' home, where a surprise night out allows them to confront their feelings for each other.

Once she gains their acceptance, perhaps more of us will follow.

The lengths some people will go just to be human.

A grieving Max must face the consequences of his painful decision. Laura discovers she's not being told everything at the Dryden Commission, while Joe uncovers Karen's shocking secret.
