Episode 2 of Sweet Tooth's third season kicks off with the introduction of a charming youngster named Theo. His father, Ven, hurriedly summons him back to the house, as his mother's labor pains are intense. Amidst the tension, they fret over the possibility that their newborn might be a hybrid. As Ven takes off in his plane to search for assistance in delivering their child, the scene shifts back to our core ensemble of characters.
Jepp confronts Adi Singh, who's nursing an injury. The other kids recognize him as the perpetrator of Roy's murder. Singh isn't seeking forgiveness; he believes his presence is fate's doing. He's firmly convinced that his newfound purpose is to lead Gus to Alaska. Gus listens intently, picking up on Singh's mention of a cave. Apparently, he too has had a vision, but he knows time is running out, and they must press onward.
Singh continues his narrative, delving into the expedition led by Thacker and his obsessive quest to bring back the cure. He also sheds light on how Birdie and the scientists stationed at Fort Smith might have inadvertently resurrected the Sick and created hybrids. Singh firmly believes that Gus holds the key to everything, as the cliché of "the kid who's the key to everything" seems to be turning into a reality!
Unfortunately, their discussion is abruptly interrupted by a menacing pack of ravenous wolves that suddenly appear at the doorstep. They must act swiftly, so Becky hurriedly packs their belongings and sends the horse off in a different direction to divert the wolves' attention. This ruse allows our group to flee in the opposite direction, avoiding detection.
As they traverse the landscape, they stumble upon the house from the episode's opening. Theo's mother is still in labor, and Singh reveals that he's a doctor and can assist. As a token of gratitude, they'll be granted a ride to Nag's Reef via Ven's plane.
Meanwhile, Siana seizes control of the Alaskan scientific outpost amidst a dispute over energy resources. The Sick is worsening, and they may not be able to evade it indefinitely. Worse still, she stumbles upon Birdie's snowplow and the distinctive hoof prints of the "Caribou Man" etched on the ground. Nearby, they also discover a lifeless body, not Birdie's but someone else's.
Back at the house, Singh attempted to offer his words of wisdom to comfort the beleaguered couple. However, Ven and his wife weren't necessarily unhappy with their hybrid child; their concern stemmed from the judgment of others and their reactions to such an anomaly. As the conversation unfolded, Becky's suspicions grew, sensing that Ven and his family were hiding something, and she remained vigilant, her senses on high alert.
Outside, Gus and Wendy stumbled upon Theo and trailed him up to his secret hideout in the attic. He regarded them with caution, but as they engaged in conversation, Becky made a startling discovery - a Wanted poster for Gus concealed in a room filled with the static of a radio. Jepp, emboldened by the belief that they had been under Ven's radar for some time, decided to toy with danger, convinced that they wouldn't be burned. Becky, despite her misgivings, reluctantly concurred.
Upstairs, it transpired that Theo himself was a hybrid. He flaunted his magnificent wings with pride, unaware that downstairs, his mother was giving birth to another hybrid child. Neither of them was content with their fate. In fact, Ven's hand clenched a blade, and the situation seemed poised to erupt into violence...until Theo burst downstairs with Gus and Wendy, pleading for calm.
After some persuasion, Ven grudgingly agreed to aid their escape, but unfortunately, he led them into the radio room and summoned them to Zhang and the others. Despite the peril, Theo managed to slip through the chaos as the gang scrambled to flee the house. He steered the van towards them, urging the group to board and make their getaway. However, Theo chose to remain, for he had a hybrid brother to protect and care for. Gus and Theo forged a bond of eternal friendship, and once Theo regained his superhuman hearing, they resumed their journey on the open road.
Meanwhile, Rosie's pursuit of Gus and the others intensified. She was closing in on them, stationed in Idaho, and she relayed the disheartening news to Zhang - she had lost track of Gus and the group. Rosie hung up the phone, her voice firm, demanding Ven's assistance in locating Gus and the others once again.
Elsewhere, Birdie awoke to find herself ensconced within the church, confronted by a stranger stalking towards her. He brandished a photograph of baby Gus and demanded to know his identity, his tone both urgent and menacing.
