Max regains her consciousness after her heart transplant, only to realize that she is back at Manticore and that Zack's heart is beating inside her. Madame X, alias Dr. Renfro, brings her to what is remaining of Zack, his various organs taken to save other X5s. Now that the DNA lab has been torched, Manticore has decided to designate a 'breeding partner' to every X5. Max's turns out to be Alec, a clone of Ben, who has no problem with her refusal to 'mate' with him. With the help of Joshua, a half-dog / half-man experiment, she escapes from Manticore for the second time. Outside in Seattle, Logan, after three months, still believes that Max is alive. He decides to reveal the existence of Manticore through Eyes Only. Dr. Renfro must destroy all evidence of the facility and burns the place, while there are people still trapped inside. Max cannot bear to see them die and releases everyone. Logan is reunited with her, only to find out that touching her would be fatal to him, because Manticore has given her a special virus targeted at him. Luckily, Max is able to retrieve the anti-body from Dr. Renfro, who ends up taking a bullet for Max because, in her words, Max is special. Dying, she tells Max to find Sandeman.
