Synopsis:
Kyle, Donna, Hank, and Ren have dinner with Kyle's aunt. She tells the kids about trouble she got into years ago which led to the death of several people and have forced her to go on the run for her involvement in a plant bombing. The plant was destroyed by one of Rue's friends, Shelly who after her death became a meta-human called Shellshock.

Shellshock returns and begins killing people by causing items near them to explode. Hawk and Dove engage Shellshock, but it is Ruth who calms her down. Shellshock then kills herself. Hawk and Dove return to the restaurant where they discover Kestrel in possession of Ren.
