Consists of threads 25-27.

This episode begins with Ruby putting down her scalpel in an attempt to placate Tom. It works to a degree, though he orders her from the room. Ruby goes to the cafeteria to calm down. While there, she combines some of the barbed wire and a heavy glove to make a PRICKLY FIST. Shortly after, her third eye appears again, opening up an opportunity for her. Ruby looks at the room with the third eye and notices her name scrawled in blood on the plaque. She pulls the plaque off and finds a photo of six of the patients of The Metal Glen, herself and Tom included.

Ruby leaves to check out the locker room again with her third eye. Her investigation reveals a gigantic, archaic symbol that causes her a great deal of pain to look at. Upon inspecting locker 2, she finds it's unlocked and has fresh blood on it. She opens it to receive a SMALL KEY, and starts heading back to the room where she and Tom had earlier emerged from the pipe. As she walks back, she finds a strange, dark figure huddled in the corner, crying. After failing to get the figure's attention, she leaves the room and heads back to the pipe room.

She unlocks the cabinet with the key she found and reveals an unlocked door. On the other side is an exam room, much like the one Tom was murdered in. While exploring the room, "F" appears.

"F" introduces himself as Filbert, the chief doctor of the facility. He explains a number of things, including that whatever the treatment they had been receiving worked a bit too well. When Ruby died, she reanimated and brought "something" with her. Filbert reveals that his only real priority is escape, and slowly becomes enraged at Ruby, apparently losing his grip on sanity. He insists that he is not infected and threatens to "remove the bad" from Ruby. Ruby promptly punches him with the PRICKLY FIST and flees. As she enters the pipe room again, the screen comes to life with Filbert (now beginning to mutate). He rants that Ace will get her anyway and notes that while Ace might not no longer be under his control, Ace IS taking orders from someone. Ruby flips him off.

The screen changes shortly after to the mysterious face from before. The face unlocks the door in the pipe room and, after Ruby asks him to call off Ace, he or she says "I'm sorry. I can't." in a hoarse voice. The screen cuts out and Ruby proceeds to the next room, which seems to be the entrance room to Upper Lab B. We have a flashback where Ruby pushed Stitches off of the catwalk into a series of blending turbines. After this scene, Tom shows up, and appears to have forgiven Ruby. Ruby tells him about Filbert and the flashback and he doesn't seem too fazed by it.

Ruby now decides to look into Lab B. It's padlocked with a lock with a giant ♠ on it: Ace's symbol. Any attempt to look normally into the room is thwarted by darkness, but peering in with the third eye shows only one thing: a menacing grin and two red eyes. While Ruby peers into Lab B, the sobbing black figure appears in the corner of the fan room. Tom confirms that it's real, and Ruby asks it what's wrong. It replies with "It's dark...IT'S SO DARK!" and turns as darkness envelops Ruby and Tom.
