In the Privileged tribe, Flame and his scheming deputy, Harmony, discuss strategy regarding the Ants. At the Barb camp, Erin decides to go hunting alone for the first time. But he goes too close to the forbidden zone and encounters the ominous machines.

The Ants and Barbs celebrate their victory against the Privileged and ponder what to do about Flame who is now held prisoner. Shadow is brought into the Discard camp by Warp guards and Sky discusses escaping. 'Things' begin to go missing in the Ant camp, including Erin's bike, and the Stranger continues to furtively observe all the inhabitants.

Representatives of the mysterious Bird tribe arrive at the Privileged complex to meet with Harmony and uneasiness arises when their leader claims that the birds always "take whatever they want."
