Complete story — includes the ending

At the pawnshop, Zach tracks Kelly's phone on a laptop, but Eph discovers that a homeless woman found the phone next to Kelly's abandoned car. A bloody tissue is inside. In flashbacks, Kelly is attacked at home by a newly turned Matt. She escapes but has been infected. Over the next 24 hours she gradually turns, and, thirsting for blood, arrives at Diane's house where she attacks Diane and her son. When Eph searches for Kelly there, he is forced to kill the infected. Finding Kelly's necklace in Diane's hand, Eph breaks down, realizing Kelly likely attacked and turned them. Dutch tells Setrakian it may be possible to undo the damage she caused to the city's communication networks but to do so she needs to infiltrate Eldritch Palmer's Stoneheart Group headquarters. She and Fet enter under the guise of city exterminators, but security spots Dutch. Palmer's personal assistant Fitzwilliam and his team intercept them. Dutch is taken to Palmer, who reveals his plans for immortality, then orders Fitzwilliam to kill them. Fitzwilliam instead releases them, admitting that he now doubts his boss' actions. Fet entreats him to join their cause, but Fitzwilliam, still loyal to Palmer, declines. Eph returns to the pawnshop and insults Dutch, who angrily leaves, preferring to take her chances on the street. Meanwhile, a fully turned Kelly is summoned by the Master, who meets her face-to-face and tells her to "rejoice."
