Part 7/9:
In the climactic purification scene, the remaining participants learn that their final transformation into "offshore citizens" involves forced sterility—a requirement that horrifies some, while others proceed coldly. Michelle, having reconciled her past and present, confesses to Ezekiel that she seeks vengeance against the leader of the Cause. In a surprising turn of events, Ezekiel chooses not to execute her but to offer her a shot for purification, acknowledging the manipulation that led her to murder Caesar.
