Bray returns to the mall in the custody of the Chosen and is told by the Guardian that Danni is with the other leaders who have been "taken care of". Trudy is enjoying lording her status over her former tribemates and promises to bring them into the fold. Ryan asks Salene how long she has known she was pregnant and if it was that the only reason she married him. Salene admits she knew before their marriage but didn't tell Ryan because she didn't want him to marry her because of the baby. Ellie asks an apathetic Jack to find a way out of the mall but he is captured by the Chosen. The Guardian wants to make an example of Jack but Ellie manages to save his life by convincing the Guardian of his value. Jack is given the chance to work for the "glory of Zoot" and is driven out of the city. The Guardian and Trudy argue over Bray's fate with the Guardian wanting to reunite Bray with his brother so he doesn't become a focal point for a resistance movement. Not wanting to see Bray killed, Trudy convinces the Guardian that they would only be turning Bray into a martyr and that he would be a great asset if they could win him over. Lex and Ebony locate the stranger who has been watching them. He introduces himself as Pride and tells them of his tribe's leader, Eagle, who was abandoned by her own tribe but due to her great strength of character and ability to lead was quickly make the leader of his tribe.

The Guardian attempts to brainwash Bray after he refuses to join the Chosen. When the Guardian learns Trudy gave the Mall Rats food he punishes her by taking away Brady. Trudy returns to the Mall Rats and tells them any future nourishment will follow their worship of Zoot. Lex asks Pride to join him and Ebony in going back to the city to rescue their friends but Pride declines, explaining confrontation is not his way or that of his tribe. Failing to break Bray's will, the Guardian grants Trudy's request to try — she knows his weaknesses better than anyone. Trudy tells Bray he has to go along with the Guardian or he'll be killed. She also confesses her love for him before explaining that if he embraces the Chosen, he will free his friends and save their lives. Bray offers to talk to the Mall Rats on one condition — that Trudy never mention the word love to him again. Ellie blames herself for Jack's capture and tells Alice she can still do something for Jack — get revenge. Alice is with her but Ellie gets angry at Patsy when she can't provide any useful information. Bray tells the Guardian he'll do whatever is necessary to save his tribe — including becoming one of the Chosen — and agrees to convince his tribe to go along for their own good.

Ryan is sent on a work detail to the farm where Lex and Ebony are able to speak with him and learn about Bray's pending execution. The Guardian insists one of the Mall Rats witness Bray's execution and chooses Dal to go along. Salene begs Trudy to save Bray's life and offers her anything but Trudy only mocks her for still being in love with Bray. Ryan returns to the mall and tells the others Lex and Ebony are "working on things" and passes on Lex's wedding ring to Tai-San. As Trudy stands ready to light the fire that will burn him alive, Bray pleads with her to turn against the Guardian but she's stands firm. As Trudy lowers the torch, Ebony, Lex, and Pride attack and are able to rescue both Bray and Dal. However, the Guardian returns to the mall and tells the Mall Rats that both Bray and Dal are dead. He then accuses Trudy of betraying him by helping Bray escape and confines her to her room. May tries to convince Salene they need to pretend to go along with the Chosen.

Dal tells Bray, Lex, Ebony and Pride about his dream that Amber didn't die at the observatory and suggests they should go to Eagle Mountain to find out for sure.

Salene and May agree to participate in the Guardian's service of worship, tacitly joining the Chosen, but Salene reassures Ryan that they're just pretending. Tai-San advises the others on how to properly fight back — by controlling their anger which the Guardian feeds on. Luke brings Brady to Trudy for a brief visit but asks her to keep the visit a secret. Trudy denies his claim that she helped Bray escape but does admit her hesitation was to blame. Before leaving, Luke offers her food but Trudy won't accept it, refusing to break the fast the Guardian has imposed. KC causes a commotion by allowing Cloe to steal some food to share with the others but when the Guardian discovers the food missing he accuses Trudy of taking it. At Eagle Mountain, Dal discovers Amber's grave is empty. Bray demands answers but no one actually saw Amber's body and Lex steadfastly refuses to let Bray so much as touch Zandra's grave.

Upon seeing her friends, Eagle demands the Mall Rats be removed from camp orders the camp be relocated. Bray and the others are confused by her behaviour but Eagle is definitely Amber. In private with Pride, Eagle admits to keeping her past a secret because she was "reborn" on Eagle Mountain and is only interested in the future. Eagle shows little concern for the city dwellers knowing their old foe Zoot is dead but Pride informs her that Zoot lives on through the Chosen who now rule the city and nearly executed Bray. Bray is still in shock at finding Amber alive but his demand to speak with her himself are denied and he is later haunted by dreams of Amber that night. Back at the mall, Alice cautions Ellie about the symbolism involved in accepting an apple from the Chosen. Lex learns Eagle's tribe is called The Gaians but Ebony is unimpressed, believing they'd be useless in a fight. Eagle asks to see Dal and recounts what little she remembers of events at the observatory while Dal tells her everything they've accomplished in the city. Amber explains how Pride found her semi-conscious halfway down the mountain and brought her back to camp where she was adopted by the Gaians and learned their ways, ultimately being made tribe leader. Although she never forgot the Mall Rats, she decided to start her life again. Amber invites Dal to stay with the Gaians but he won't leave his friends and is committed to stopping the Chosen. Dal dismisses Amber's strongly-held belief that Bray and Ebony are a couple. Suspiciously unsurprised at finding Amber alive, Ebony tries to convince Bray they should leave the camp immediately but Bray is determined to know the truth and forces his way in to see Amber. Amber agrees to talk and describes the experience of finding her own grave and of being found by Pride. She insists she is now Eagle — the Amber he once knew is dead.©tzuk

Bray denies he and Ebony ever had a baby together but Amber is not interested in listening leaving Bray vowing to prove to her the truth. Bray confronts Ebony about her phoney baby story and the fake grave but she denies it all and stresses the importance of their initial reason for coming — to get help for their friends.

Ellie questions if Alice is pushing things too far but Alice responds that someone has to take a stand.

Lex is ready to go it alone without help from the Gaians, whom he thinks incapable of fighting, but Pride steps forward to prove him wrong. The Guardian make Tai-San an offer — he'll release her with a message to take to her friends asking them to give themselves up but Tai-San sees through his ploy.

Tied up, Pride watches as the two kids snare two other victims from whom they steal food. When their brother, Andy, returns, he informs Pride he is to be sold to the Chosen. KC hides in a car when he sees Lex and Ebony approaching. Unable to start the car, Lex tells Ebony he wants to cash in his rain check. Lex climbs into the back seat of the car only to have Ebony slam the door on him. Ryan starts a fight with a guard but Luke intervenes to save Ryan's life — something he wasn't able to do for Patsy when she was caught spying. Ellie asks Luke if he is a true believer, hoping he is just pretending, but Luke says he only saved the Supreme Mother because of a misunderstanding. Disappointed, Ellie tells Luke the Guardian is a lunatic and if Luke had any guts he'd get rid of him and take over. Alice is upset at Ellie for picking a fight rather than sweet-talking Luke as they planned. Ebony and Lex reach the fuel depot but find it empty while KC seeks out an old contact, Fisheye. Luke tells the Guardian there is concern among "some people" that he is spending time with Tai-San, a non-believer, but the Guardian believes Tai-San holds the key to the Mall Rats' defeat. During another of their talks, the Guardian is nearly talked into succumbing to temptation by Tai-San but he resists her. Salene participates in a Zoot-themed ante-natal class but is put off by the commandment that Zoot be the "new and only father" to her baby. Seeking clarification, she is told her baby has no need of Ryan — he will never even see the baby.©tzuk

Luke summons Tai-San to see the Guardian who apologises for having frightened her while she continues her subtle efforts to entice him. KC tells Fisheye about being the Guardian's new oracle but admits it's not entirely a scam — sometimes he can hear Zoot. Ellie apologises to Luke who explains he feels misunderstood and wonders if she can look beyond his cloak to the person inside, and offers to send a message to Jack for her. When May tells Alice she wants to leave the Chosen and rejoin the Mall Rats, Alice asks her to be their spy. May meets with Lex and tells him the Chosen guards got Patsy — she's not coming back. Salene tells Ryan about the maternity meeting but leaves out the most important part. May returns to the mall thinking Ryan knows everything and while she doesn't reveal the truth, she does make him curious enough to confront Salene who is finally forced to tell him he's not going to see his child — ever. Salene tries to explain that she had no choice but to agree to those terms but Ryan accuses her of being one of "them" and leaves the room enraged. Ellie tells Alice that Luke is not like the others but Alice doesn't buy it and is concerned her sister is falling for the enemy. Tai-San tells Alice her approach with the Guardian is working, explaining he's a deeply confused human being, a lost soul in emotional pain acting out of fear and desperation. She's convinced she can reach him but Alice is concerned for her safety. May sneaks back into the planning room and copies a map and is nearly caught. Ryan gets KC to use his skeleton key to unlock his chains and goes on a rampage, beating up several guards before reaching the Guardian. Ryan has the upper hand in the one-on-one fight but is ultimately overpowered by numbers.©tzuk

Luke apologises to the Guardian for the lapse in security that allowed Ryan to get to him but the Guardian is buoyed by having been "snatched from the jaws of a martyr's death", seeing the attack as confirmation of Zoot's message that the children have no other father but Him. Luke tells Salene that despite the Guardian's orders that Ryan be executed, he has smuggled him off to one of their mining colonies. Luke asks her not to tell anyone the truth and to go on as expected, explaining he is helping because he believes Zoot is merciful, not vengeful. Salene embraces Luke as Ellie walks in. KC sets up a trading post and holds one item above all others — Zoot's goggles. Despite his initial reluctance to sell them, KC strikes a deal — and does so over and over again. Ned tries to sell Pride to the Chosen but his outrageous asking price is rejected and he's made a counteroffer he can't refuse — all of them in exchange for their lives. Luke tries to smooth things over with Ellie who accuses him of getting Ryan out of the way so he could move in on Salene. Their conversation is interrupted by Tai-San who gives him an urgent message for the Guardian asking to see him. May meets with Lex, Ebony and Bray and tells them Ryan has been taken away while they tell her of Dal's death. May gives them the map she copied which shows the location of a fuel depot. Pride, Ned, and his twin siblings, Tally and Andy, are brought to the mall. Recognising Pride, May tells him she's a spy and both promise to keep one other's secrets. Ebony, Lex and Bray move on the fuel depot but Ebony's haste places Bray's life at risk.©tzuk

Ebony and Lex rush into the fuel depot to help Bray fend off remaining guards and manage to escape before the building is destroyed in a massive explosion that is felt back at the mall. As the Rebel leaders toast their victory, Luke laments the loss of the depot while the Guardian ponders the incident's greater meaning. The Guardian asks his oracle for the meaning behind the explosion but KC struggles to come up with an answer and settles for Option A — a portent of a celebration to urge the Guardian on to greater things. Luke brings Ellie word from Jack who is busy doing "important work". She sends back her message of love through Luke who expresses his own feelings for her in his suggested reply message. Salene overhears their conversation and tells Ellie how lucky they are to have Luke doing things for them causing Ellie to sharply remind her that Luke and the Guardian are the ones responsible for the mess they now find themselves in. May meets with Ebony, Lex and Bray and tells them about the new arrivals while Ned challenges the Mall Rats on their ineffective resistance efforts. Out in the city, KC regales a crowded bar with his oracle stories but his goggle-wearing audience has another subject they want to discuss. The Mall Rats find Ned and his siblings spray painting the mall. Alice goes off on him for trashing their home but Ned pushes Alice too far and gets punched out. Tai-San offers the Guardian her help in addressing his feelings, explaining that only by owning up to his fears will he find peace. Alone, Salene prays to Zoot to bring Ryan back to her and make everything as it was. The Guardian has a revelation — Zoot wants Tai-San to reign over the Chosen by his side for all eternity.©tzuk

Lex is basking in the afterglow of his performance when Bray arrives with news that the Chosen are going to hold a coronation for the true Supreme Mother. The Guardian talks with Luke about the prophetic power of dreams and tells him about his own dream which foretells a great test that is to come before he and Tai-San can be raised to the divine together. Lex is convinced the new Supreme Mother must be May or Salene, exclaiming how the traitor will get what she deserves when the war's over. Ebony wants to ambush the coronation to take out the Guardian. Bray doesn't want to resort to violence but Lex backs Ebony and Bray steps forward as the only one capable of using the crossbow. Despite both being unhappy about Tai-San's new position, Luke accuses Ellie of getting rid of Trudy so she could put Tai-San in her place, further suggesting she has only been nice to him in an effort to manipulate him. Later, Ellie tells Luke that while she did try to use him, she didn't in regard to Tai-San and admits to caring for him. Salene wants answers from Alice about Tai-San but Alice says she's not trustworthy enough to know the bigger picture. May asks Luke to make her Tai-San's handmaiden and offers to spy on her for him. Seeing the coronation as a money-making opportunity, KC gets help from Andy and Tally to make some commemorative T-shirts. The Guardian informs Tai-San she needs to go through a public purification ritual. Asking what power she will have as Supreme Mother, the Guardian tells her she will be by his side and the symbolic mother of all the Chosen.

Tai-San explains to Lex she's not sleeping with the Guardian but believes she is beginning to get through to him and can hopefully change him. Lex doesn't want Tai-San to return to the mall and she must call back her guards to force him to leave. Luke tells a disinterested Guardian that Salene has lost her baby but he questions Luke's support for the Mall Rats and voices his agreement with Salene's theory that it was Zoot's punishment. Luke finally corners Ellie to talk and she admits their kiss was a mistake. He believes they can make things work but Ned's arrival ends their conversation. Lex tells Ebony and Bray he met with Tai-San and admits Bray was right about Tai-San.

Tai-San wakes from a dream of Lex killing the Guardian at her coronation. Bray argues with Ebony, worried that if they killed the Guardian, the Chosen would take it out on the Mall Rats. To celebrate the coronation of the Supreme Mother, Luke announces an amnesty — one of the Mall Rats can go free. Alice asks Luke about Salene and realises from his reaction that she lost the baby. Ned sticks his nose into the conversation and makes insinuations about Luke and Ellie. Alice recognises the amnesty as a plot to start the Mall Rats fighting amongst themselves but concedes that it is too good an opportunity to pass up. Unable to choose who will go free, KC comes with a plan to get rid of the obnoxious Ned. Tai-San tells the Guardian about her dream but he is unconvinced of the danger, happy to leave his safety in the hands of Zoot. Alice offers a tearful apology to Salene who explains how losing her baby was all part of Zoot's great plan and that Alice was just his tool. Alice later tells Ellie she believes Salene is now one of the Chosen, having swapped her obsession with Bray for that of Zoot. Ned's freedom is short-lived as he is hauled back into the mall after being arrested for getting into a drunken fight with the guards. Outside the mall, Lex gets into position as the coronation begins. Bray must force his way past Ebony to stop him and manages to knock the crossbow just as Lex shoots.

Lex collapses upon seeing his shot strike Tai-San but Bray and Ebony get him to his feet and the trio escape as panic breaks out on the street below. Luke reminds the Guardian of the warnings both he and Tai-San gave him but the Guardian still holds Luke responsible for the attack despite the reminder that he and Tai-San are alive and the Divine Child safe. Luke suggests the shooting was a result of Zoot's disapproval of what the Guardian is doing and calls out the Guardian on his inability to communicate with Zoot. Angered, the Guardian labels Luke a traitor and dismisses him as his Lieutenant. Tally and Andy put KC's loaded dice to good work scamming kids but it is KC who nearly gets arrested by the guards. The Guardian thanks Tai-San for saving his life and asks for her forgiveness for not heeding Zoot's warning. Bray stops Lex from going to the mall to check on Tai-San and volunteers to go in his place. When he returns with a rumour of Tai-San being carried back to the mall, Lex assumes she is dead. May reports to Alice that the Guardian has gone crazy and disorder is sweeping through the Chosen prompting Alice to announce the time to act has come. Pride tells Salene the Supreme Mother wants to speak with her and offers to watch Brady. When May joins Pride in Brady's room he tells her the time has come to make their move. Ellie asks Luke to join the rebels but he tells her he still believes in what the Chosen could be without the Guardian and vows to stop him. Salene discovers Brady is gone. Taken by Pride and May, she is now with the rebels. Pride's explanation that the escape was all Tai-San's idea is welcome news for Lex who is surprised to learn she is still alive.

A lone figure is seen fishing in a stream; it is Jack. Back at the mall, Bray locks up Luke with the Guardian. Luke congratulates Bray on his victory and offers his advice on leading the city — he can't show any compassion and if he's serious about building a new world, he (Luke) needs to be found guilty and executed if justice is to be seen to be done. Mildly amused by the incident, Amber demands to know who took revenge on May and Lex reveals himself as the guilty party. Bray asks Amber to act as an impartial magistrate to preside over Luke's trial. Tai-San is upset with Lex for what he did to May and Ellie is upset at Luke for willingly sacrificing himself. The angry mob returns demanding justice and this time is not willing to be dismissed. Ebony comes out to announce that Luke, as the Guardian's second in command, will be the one to stand trial — and she will be the one to prosecute him. Under pressure from Ebony, Luke admits some of the tribe leaders were killed and admits his guilt and asks to be sentenced. Ellie steps forward to offer a defence but Luke is resigned to his fate. Amber announces a guilty verdict and, accepting Luke's remorse, sentences him to go free to live with the knowledge of what he has done. Moz and the crowd don't like the verdict and Alice must put Luke back in the cage for his own protection. As Ellie hugs Luke, Jack walks in.©tzuk

The Mall Rats begin a search for Amber and Trudy but the girls are already gone — locked in a darkened room by their kidnapper. KC finds Tally and Andy pigging out while hiding under the table and talks them into hiding some of the food for later. When the food later disappears, KC and Andy accuse one another before Lex reveals he's taken it and tells KC to get his act together and stop with the scams. Jack accuses Ellie of finding excuses to avoid seeing him and thinks she's down on him because he's a collaborator. May suggests to Bray that Amber and Trudy left with Pride while Salene wonders if the Chosen could be behind their disappearance. Bray goes after Pride but the girls aren't with him and the pair return to the mall. May reports to Lex she found Tai-San combing the Guardian's hair. May instigates an argument with him but makes a quick retreat when Tai-San returns, leaving her to deal with Lex. On their way back to the mall, Bray and Pride run into Moz and her gang who once again demand the Guardian's release. After Tai-San and Lex's argument, during which she again must deny anything took place between her and the Guardian, Tai-San tells Lex she is worried his mistrust of her will destroy them.

Lex, Bray, and Pride break into The Mozquitos' base looking for Trudy and Amber but they're not there and Moz denies any role in their kidnapping. Luke visits the Guardian and expresses his regrets that they wasted their opportunity while in power and failed to give people something to believe in but instead the Guardian only wanted the people to worship him. Brady is walking. While talking with Salene and Alice, Ned says everything will be back to normal after they hand over the Guardian but Alice is not so sure given the lack of details in the ramsom note. Jack apologises to Ellie for coming on strong after his return buy she remains distant. Alice tells Tai-San she doesn't understand what she's doing with the Guardian but Tai-Sai councels her to look for the good in people — advice applicable to her and Ned as well. Lex enjoys finding Tai-San cooking but gets upset when she says the food is for the Guardian and he gives her an ultimatum — him or me. May asks Pride if he'll take her along when he goes back to his tribe. He won't and says he likes her but that's as far as it goes. Ellie talks to Luke about her guilty feelings for the way she's treating Jack and admits she knows she has to go back to him. Prompted by an accusation from May, Tai-San asks Lex if he was involved in the kidnapping. He denies it and accuses her of not trusting him. Their argument escalates until Tai-San suggests they should end their marriage if they won't believe in each other. Bray tells Pride he can't give in to the kidnappers' demands, holding himself to the standard set by Amber who would never agree to turning over the Guardian to a certain death sentence. Jack approaches Salene wanting to know if there was anything going on between Ellie and Luke while he was away. She reluctantly says she thought Luke had feelings for Ellie but doesn't know if she felt the same way. Jack then confronts Luke and accuses him of getting rid of him so he could move in on Ellie but Luke tells him it was Ellie who took advantage of him. Regardless, Jack warns him to stay away from her.©tzuk

Alice finds a second note from the kidnappers, this time containing Amber's necklace and poorly-written instructions on where the transfer will take place. Luke tells Jack he should be grateful to him for saving his life but admits that while he would like there to be something between him and Ellie, there isn't because she doesn't love him. Sitting with the Guardian, Bray reflects on Amber's comments to the mob about fair treatment and justice for all being cornerstones of their new society and debates with Pride if they can turn the Guardian over to be killed. As they leave, the Guardian glances up with a smile on his face. Ellie apologises to Jack for being distant since his return and half-heartedly accepts his invitation to dinner. Lex gets upset when he finds Tai-San collecting fresh food for the Guardian. She asks Lex to come see the Guardian with her. KC makes a bet with Ned over whether Bray will hand over the Guardian but Ebony bursts Ned's bubble when she reminds him of Bray's Boy Scout principles before asking for the odds. Bray announces to the Mall Rats that he plans to turn over the Guardian. Ebony tries to make the point that it wouldn't be what Amber would want but Bray is not swayed. May bumps into KC taking Jack supplies for his dinner with Ellie and laments that she has no one to give her a candlelit dinner or flowers. Later with Salene, May wonders if it is time she moved on. Recalling Amber's refusal to turn over the Guardian to the mob, Bray has second thoughts about what to do. Jack's elaborate table setting is marred by a missing flower that KC has stolen to give to May.

Alice is annoyed by Ned's early-morning gum-chewing — the same piece since the virus struck. Bray calls a meeting to announce his new plan — they will go to the rendezvous but they won't be taking the Guardian — Bray will go disguised as him instead and they will ambush the kidnapper. KC takes stock of his inventory with Tally and Andy. Underwhelmed by the quality of their merchandise, KC wants to get their hands on a high-profile item — the Guardian's ring. Ned voices to Alice his displeasure with Bray's plan, never anticipating Bray not turning over the Guardian. Ellie isn't surprised to learn of Alice and Ned's relationship but Alice is not pleased about Ellie and Luke, fearing Ellie is placing herself at risk given the danger Luke lives with. Winning her bet, Alice demands KC to do her laundry for two weeks while Andy losses a die roll and must get the Guardian's ring. KC is a miffed to see May give her flower to Pride but quickly refocusses his attention to getting the ring. Several of the Mozzies are captured at the rendezvous site but are released when it is realised they not involved in the kidnapping. With the mission failed, the Mall Rats return home. The Guardian grabs Andy as he tries to steal the ring from his finger, demanding Andy get the key to the cage. Ebony returns and chastises Andy for being there but dismisses his report of the Guardian's actions. With no reason to stay after losing Ellie to Luke, Jack packs his things and leaves the mall, visiting Dal's grave to seek guidance on what to do next. Ned recommends to the others that they do as the kidnapper tells them from now on but Tai-San is adamant they don't hand over the Guardian. Bray says they will have to wait for next note. A noise wakes Ebony in the night, investigating, she sees another ransom note being left — by Ned.©tzuk

In Bray's absence, May nominates Pride as the Mall Rat's temporary leader but Salene is vocal about not accepting another leader, believing that without Bray there is no tribe.

Lex is enjoying his new role as sheriff — and his new uniform. Ellie asks Ebony to give Luke something to do. Says she'll think about it but in the meantime suggests Ellie restart The Amulet. Lex receives lacklustre support for his recruiting efforts as the kids are all looking to get paid. Back at the mall, Ebony is upset at Ned for ignoring the needs of their captives and makes their care his number one priority. To solve Lex's recruitment problem, Ebony suggests reintroducing money and gives the job to Luke which also solves Ellie's problem. Pony Joe recognises Bray as the leader of the Mall Rats and tells him of meeting another of the Mall Rats — Ryan.

Luke unveils his new coins but Pride doesn't like what they herald — the birth of a new class system. KC is upset at losing his horse but Bray helps him see that Salene was following her heart — something he was doing himself when he gave the horse to May. Ebony suggests Luke be the tribe's new treasurer believing he's the perfect candidate given that he can't leave the mall to spend the new money. Andy refuses to feed the Guardian anymore and not even Lex's attempt to convince him it is a rite of passage into manhood will sway him. Ned returns to the mall after taking food to the captive girls and tells Ebony he can't keep getting away from Alice — he needs more goods to throw her off the scent. Lex begs off his Guardian feeding duty citing his increased workload as sheriff so Tai-San takes on the job. KC and May share their problems but he misinterprets her hypothetical and thinks she's talking about him. May apologises to Pride for her overreaction to finding Ellie interviewing him for her paper and tells him she cares about him. She is awkward but endearing. Andy warns Tai-San the Guardian is only pretending to be insane and cautions her not to turn her back on him. Moz has concerns about the new currency system and holds up Ellie's latest edition of The Amulet which warns of a new underclass as her evidence. Ebony backs Moz's view that it's undemocratic to have the Mall Rats running things and proposes an election to chose a new leader for the city, nominating Bray as the Mall Rats' candidate. Bray commends Ebony and tells her she sounds more and more like Amber. Tai-San takes off the Guardian's shackles so his wounds can heal. He moves to attack her when her back is turned but her words give him pause to change his mind. Ned has tired of waiting for Ebony to deliver on her promises and gives her a deadline.©tzuk

Ebony pays the Guardian another visit — just long enough to leave him a crowbar — and then wakes Ned to tell him he needs to deliver the Guardian to Moz. May has no news from her contacts about Amber and Trudy but Pride doubts an outsider could have even done it. Ned excitedly tells Alice his plans for them are falling into place but keeps the details a mystery. Ebony gets the Mall Rats to hand out election leaflets allowing Ned to take the Guardian out of the mall through the sewers. Ned hides him in a coffin to continue the journey. KC tries to return the necklace to the trader but he can't get a cash refund. KC's offer of some of his old, broken watches only gets him in more trouble. Alice shares her joy with May who is supportive, but sceptical, about Ned's promises, and in turn tells Alice about her and Pride. When Ned stops to rest, the Guardian emerges from the coffin and hits him over the head with the crowbar. May pulls Lex aside during Bray's campaign speech to tell him the Guardian has escaped. Lex goes on stage to tell Bray who becomes tongue-tied. As the Mall Rats search for the Guardian, Pride wants to know where Ned is and Andy tells them the Guardian has fooled them all since day one. With Bray no longer a viable candidate, Luke suggests Ebony as a replacement and Bray begs her to do it. Lex also wants the position but Bray tells him his unpopularity as sheriff makes him unsuitable.

Jack is fishing when he is distracted by a series of screams. Investigating, he comes across a young girl under attack by two older boys. After scaring them off, Jack turns around to discover the girl is Cloe. Bray wakes Amber from a nightmare about the Guardian. He tells her he blames himself for not turning over the Guardian to the people but she tells him he did the right thing. Ebony has moved back to the familiar confines of the hotel. Tai-San doesn't like the feel of things but Lex assures her he can keep Ebony under control. Cloe tells Jack how she was made to work in the mines until one day the guards were gone and she started making her way back to the city. Ellie goes to the farm to see Alice who is still keeping vigil at Ned's graveside. Lex's search for the Guardian takes him and Pride to the factory where they find KC giving tours. Lex collects fines from the kids but Pride has a go at KC for trying to profit off the girls' kidnapping. Ebony asks Luke for a few bags of coins for herself — for emergencies she assures him. Tai-San's comment that Trudy and Amber were fortunate Ebony showed up when she did is heard by Amber who's not sure it was. Bray visits Ebony to talk about organising the city. He thinks she should hold off on Lex being sheriff because he is scaring too many people but Ebony tells Bray she's already reappointed him to the job. She placates Bray by telling him she wants him to be Chief Justice and sends him back to the mall to look after Amber. When he's gone, Ebony and Moz resume their secret talks. Amber remains suspicious of Ebony and how events have resulted in her running the city. Bray tries to tell her Ebony has changed but makes the mistake of telling Amber she is being paranoid as a result of her pregnancy hormones. Amber tells him Ebony has taken him for a sucker and storms out. Jack directs Cloe back to the mall but it takes some convincing for him to go with her. Lex and KC split their takings from the factory tour scam and Lex promises not to have Pride with him next time. The Guardian observes the comings and goings from the mall. When he finally sees Tai-San leave, he follows and approaches her while she's collecting herbs.©tzuk

At the farm, Alice is still mourning at Ned's grave and vows to find who killed him. KC is the first to spot Jack and Cloe when they return to the mall and all but ignores Jack when he sees Cloe. Not wanting to see Ellie, Jack won't go inside until Amber tells him Ellie and Luke are both away. Bray is speaking to the others on the need to create a new set of laws when Tai-San arrives and tells them of her encounter with the Guardian and her promise to meet him the next morning with Brady. Tally and Andy try to sell KC's necklace to a trader but Lex confiscates it and sends them on their way. Lex gives the necklace to Pride to return to KC before shaking down the trader for a gift for Tai-San. At the hotel, Ebony has a job for Moz — she wants her to waste the Guardian and will pay double if she does it quietly. Cloe introduces herself to Pride who returns to KC the necklace. May shows a new-found appreciation for the necklace but KC gives it to Cloe instead. May gets upset by Pride's behaviour and accuses him using her to make Amber jealous. He denies it but she won't listen and ends their relationship. Amber convinces Jack to stay the night at the mall. When Ellie returns, she and Jack exchange pleasantries before Ellie retreats. Luke sees she still has feelings for Jack but she assures him he is the one she wants. Lex returns to the mall and learns about Tai-San's encounter with the Guardian and takes over Bray's ambush plan. KC stops in to check on Cloe and promises more items like the necklace if she sticks with him. He asks for a goodnight kiss and she plants one on his forehead. Lex is shocked by Tai-San's revelation that she feels bad for betraying the Guardian's trust. He gives her the gift he got from the trader but she rejects it because of how he obtained it. Ellie goes to see Jack to explain she never meant to hurt him and asks for his forgiveness. He says they have nothing to talk about and she won't see him again after tomorrow. Ebony goes to Luke wanting more coins but he refuses, telling her she's going down the same path as the Guardian. She tells him she's going to rule the city and take whatever she deserves and wants him as her lieutenant — he can take his chances on the street or side with her.©tzuk

Luke gives Ebony more coins. She still wants more but he's making them as fast as he can and giving her the lion's share. Lex lays out his plan to capture the Guardian and while Tai-San still feels bad for betraying him, she knows he can't be allowed to roam free. Ebony's build-up reminds Luke of the Guardian and he's saddened to realise he hasn't changed as much as he thought. Ebony tells Moz about the Mall Rats' ambush plan. Ebony doesn't want the Guardian taken alive but knows they can't get close enough to kill him themselves so Moz arranges for her agent, Duff, to join the ambush squad. The Guardian is captured and Bray manages to stop Ebony's assassin. Lex refuses to turn the Guardian over to Ebony's private guards and takes him back to the mall and locks him up in the cage. KC is collecting protection money from the casino when he spots May drowning her sorrows. Pride joins them and takes May outside to talk. When May tells Pride she loves him, but knows he doesn't feel the same, Pride surprises her by revealing that he does love her. Back at the mall, Luke has decided to leave and gives Jack a letter to pass on to Ellie. Bray and Amber interrupt Ebony's conversation with the Guardian. Ebony tells them the Guardian told her he had a pact with Ned and demands he be executed immediately but the Guardian counters by revealing everything — that Ebony arranged his escape and got Ned to tell him where the prisoners were being held. Bray is not sure the Guardian can be believed but Amber is willing to accept Ebony was behind everything in an attempt to seize power. Unable to ignore the possibility, they agree to investigate. Jack delivers Luke's note to Ellie which asks her to find happiness with someone she deserves. Ebony finds Ellie crying over the note and advises her to go to the farm to talk to Alice and asks Ellie to inform her sister that the Guardian admitted to killing Ned.©tzuk

Jack quietly slips out of the mall, passing Amber, Bray, Trudy and Tai-San who are discussing what to do about Ebony. They all agree they have no choice but to proceed with an investigation. Continuing out of the city, Jack passes a determined Alice who is marching back to the mall. May asks Pride if he really meant it when he said he loved her. He assures her he did but his demeanour says otherwise. The Guardian tells Lex he needs him alive to bear witness against Ebony — only he can put their doubts about her to rest — as well as Lex's doubts about Tai-San's fidelity. The Guardian then tells Lex about his vision of the future, warning that the true bringers of Power and Chaos are coming. Jack stops in at the farm to say good-bye to Ellie and tells her about seeing Alice heading toward the mall in her war paint. Bray, Tai-San, and Amber go to the hotel to tell Ebony they'll be holding an inquiry into her actions. Ebony agrees to cooperate, later telling Moz she needs to be seen to be on the side of Justice. Leaving the mall, Luke turns around when he sees Alice stride past. She goes straight to the cage, slugs Lex, and confronts Ned's killer. Luke manages to stop her from killing the Guardian but as he's consoling her, the Guardian grabs Luke. Outside, a large military transport aircraft flies toward the city...

Bray and Amber return to the mall and announce Ebony has agreed to cooperate with the investigation. Lex tells them about Alice's attack and they all go to the cage where Alice tells them she's killed the Guardian. When Bray asks who told Alice the Guardian was the one who killed Ned, Ellie admits it was her. Trudy arrives with word Ebony and her people are gathering outside the mall gates having heard about the Guardian's death. Bray orders Lex arrest Alice and goes to talk to Ebony. On the way, Ellie adds that it was Ebony who told her to tell Alice. Outside, Ebony champions Alice as a hero to the gathered crowd. Bray accuses her of orchestrating everything and Ebony directs her guards arrest Bray and Amber and orders them banished from the city. Lex guides the pair through the angry mob to the edge of the city. Bray asks Lex to help bring Ebony down but he won't and wishes them well.

Elsewhere, the Guardian leads a bound Luke, explaining to him the Chosen still have followers who believe. Arriving at their destination, the Guardian is met by one of his followers and releases Luke with an offer to join them. The approaching military aircraft is heard by all — by Ebony as she basks in her glory; by outcasts Bray and Amber (who has gone into premature labour); and by the Mall Rats. As the airplane passes over the Guardian, he exclaims, "The true bringers of chaos… they're here". Inside the plane, the rear cargo doors open and a squad of masked paratroopers jump out. Upon reaching the ground, their leader radios in to announce the landing of the invasion force...©tzuk

Trudy and Tai-San are upset to learn of Bray and Lex's supposed deaths and Trudy demands their bodies be brought to her. The Chosen return to the crash site but Bray and Lex are gone — rescued by Ebony. Ebony and Lex carry an unconscious Bray into the woods where Lex leaves Bray and takes off on his own. The Guardian is determined to do away with the tribal leaders so their tribes won't have anyone to rally behind and with Danni missing, the Mall Rats suspect the worst. The Mall Rats are turned away when they try to get breakfast and are told by the Guardian that they must earn their food. He announces the Mall Rats will be a treated as slaves and put to work until they become one with the Chosen. Everyone reluctantly kneels before the Guardian but Tai-San refuses resulting in the Guardian cutting off everyone's food until they all repent.

Trudy is enjoying lording her status over her former tribemates and promises to bring them into the fold. Ryan asks Salene how long she has known she was pregnant and if it was that the only reason she married him. Salene admits she knew before their marriage but didn't tell Ryan because she didn't want him to marry her because of the baby. Ellie asks an apathetic Jack to find a way out of the mall but he is captured by the Chosen. The Guardian wants to make an example of Jack but Ellie manages to save his life by convincing the Guardian of his value. Jack is given the chance to work for the "glory of Zoot" and is driven out of the city. The Guardian and Trudy argue over Bray's fate with the Guardian wanting to reunite Bray with his brother so he doesn't become a focal point for a resistance movement. Not wanting to see Bray killed, Trudy convinces the Guardian that they would only be turning Bray into a martyr and that he would be a great asset if they could win him over. Lex and Ebony locate the stranger who has been watching them.

Lex asks Pride to join him and Ebony in going back to the city to rescue their friends but Pride declines, explaining confrontation is not his way or that of his tribe. Failing to break Bray's will, the Guardian grants Trudy's request to try — she knows his weaknesses better than anyone. Trudy tells Bray he has to go along with the Guardian or he'll be killed. She also confesses her love for him before explaining that if he embraces the Chosen, he will free his friends and save their lives. Bray offers to talk to the Mall Rats on one condition — that Trudy never mention the word love to him again.

Ryan is sent on a work detail to the farm where Lex and Ebony are able to speak with him and learn about Bray's pending execution. The Guardian insists one of the Mall Rats witness Bray's execution and chooses Dal to go along.

KC turns Cloe into Oliver but his joke ends with them being put to work scrubbing floors. Salene and May agree to participate in the Guardian's service of worship, tacitly joining the Chosen, but Salene reassures Ryan that they're just pretending. Tai-San advises the others on how to properly fight back — by controlling their anger which the Guardian feeds on. Luke brings Brady to Trudy for a brief visit but asks her to keep the visit a secret. Trudy denies his claim that she helped Bray escape but does admit her hesitation was to blame. Before leaving, Luke offers her food but Trudy won't accept it, refusing to break the fast the Guardian has imposed. KC causes a commotion by allowing Cloe to steal some food to share with the others but when the Guardian discovers the food missing he accuses Trudy of taking it.

Bray and the others are confused by her behaviour but Eagle is definitely Amber. In private with Pride, Eagle admits to keeping her past a secret because she was "reborn" on Eagle Mountain and is only interested in the future. Eagle shows little concern for the city dwellers knowing their old foe Zoot is dead but Pride informs her that Zoot lives on through the Chosen who now rule the city and nearly executed Bray. Bray is still in shock at finding Amber alive but his demand to speak with her himself are denied and he is later haunted by dreams of Amber that night. Back at the mall, Alice cautions Ellie about the symbolism involved in accepting an apple from the Chosen. Lex learns Eagle's tribe is called The Gaians but Ebony is unimpressed, believing they'd be useless in a fight. Eagle asks to see Dal and recounts what little she remembers of events at the observatory while Dal tells her everything they've accomplished in the city. Amber explains how Pride found her semi-conscious halfway down the mountain and brought her back to camp where she was adopted by the Gaians and learned their ways, ultimately being made tribe leader. Although she never forgot the Mall Rats, she decided to start her life again. Amber invites Dal to stay with the Gaians but he won't leave his friends and is committed to stopping the Chosen. Dal dismisses Amber's strongly-held belief that Bray and Ebony are a couple.

Amber further recounts events after the explosion at Eagle Mountain, finally revealing the full story to Bray… After the explosion at the observatory, Ebony found her injured and brought her outside. Ebony told Amber she and Bray had a baby together — and showed her a photo to prove it — and offered Amber the opportunity to start a new life for herself with the promise she would take care of everything and the others would believe she died. Bray denies he and Ebony ever had a baby together but Amber is not interested in listening leaving Bray vowing to prove to her the truth. Bray confronts Ebony about her phoney baby story and the fake grave but she denies it all and stresses the importance of their initial reason for coming — to get help for their friends. Back at the mall, Alice dumps her gruel on Luke resulting in the Guardian taking away everyone's food. Ellie questions if Alice is pushing things too far but Alice responds that someone has to take a stand. The Guardian agrees to release Trudy from confinement believing she can help break the Mall Rats. Lex is ready to go it alone without help from the Gaians, whom he thinks incapable of fighting, but Pride steps forward to prove him wrong. The Guardian make Tai-San an offer — he'll release her with a message to take to her friends asking them to give themselves up but Tai-San sees through his ploy. At the tribal meeting there is fierce opposition among the Gaians to helping fight the Chosen but Bray warns them of the inevitable threat they will face from the Chosen and asked for their help to assemble a resistance from the remaining free tribes.

Alice's concern grows when Salene refuses to reveal what they're being taught by the Chosen and furthermore by her admission that some of what the Chosen are teaching them makes sense. Ellie suggests to her sister they need an informer they know they can trust and Cloe quickly volunteers.

Trudy is angered by May's news that Tai-San has been having private meetings with the Guardian. Desperate to know what is going on between the two, Trudy grills May for information but May only further angers Trudy when she attempts to console Trudy by telling her the Guardian would never cheat on her and is only after "after a bit of fun" with Tai-San. When one of his guards finds a Resistance flier at the farm, the Guardian is pleased to learn he is hated so much but Luke is confused by these words which are contrary to the teachings of Zoot. Ebony apologises to Bray for what she did to him and Amber. Trudy confronts Tai-San wanting a straight answer about what she's doing with the Guardian. Tai-San is elusive in her response and calls Trudy's bluff of using force to get her to talk, telling Trudy to talk to the Guardian if she wants to know about their relationship. Ebony approaches Lex with a belated acceptance of his proposition but he turns her down. At the farm, Luke catches Ellie posting one of the fliers on a building wall and tells her the consequences are serious — the Guardian wants a sacrifice. However, Luke feels sorry for her and tells her he'll look the other way this once. At the mall, Trudy offers herself to the Guardian.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Sarah Major as Patsy, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Matthew Bentley as Chosen Guard 1 Episode 3.15 UK: January 06, 2001 Screenplay by Anthony Read Directed by Janet Stubbings The Guardian rejects Trudy's advances and tells her she should be above such base physical desires. She insists she was only thinking of the future of the Chosen but her words only serve to further anger the Guardian who says she's not fit to be Supreme Mother. After her reprieve, Ellie goes right back to printing more fliers but wonders why Luke let her off. Regardless of the reason, Alice suggests she play him along. Patsy tells Alice and Ellie about Trudy "spinning out" after finding out the Guardian is seeing Tai-San and they wonder if Tai-San has betrayed them and Lex. Alice and Ellie want answers from Tai-San who explains she is working for the Resistance "in her own way" and is a loyal Mall Rat. Salene surprises Ryan with a tray of fresh fruit. Ryan doesn't like learning she has talked to the Guardian about them and that he has both approved of their relationship and orchestrated their night together. KC finds the computer and fliers. Ryan catches KC and tells him to stop snooping prompting KC to express his frustration at not being told anything that's going on. He shows Ryan his skeleton key and reveals his plan to escape to look for Lex and Bray. He asks Ryan to join him but Ryan won't leave Salene. A recharged Trudy bursts in on the Guardian and the pair square off over who is the more impure — her for her attempted seduction or him for his thoughts about Tai-San. When Trudy calls him a hypocrite and unworthy of being Zoot's guardian on earth, vowing to expose him to her followers, the Guardian has her confined to her room. Dressed in the robes of the Chosen, Lex sneaks back into the mall and finds himself swept along to one of their rallies where he listens as the Guardian announces that Zoot has ordained the time has come to reunite Zoot with the Supreme Mother.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Sarah Major as Patsy, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Matthew Bentley as Chosen Guard 1, Stephen May as Chosen Guard 2 Episode 3.16 UK: January 06, 2001 Screenplay by Anthony Read Directed by Janet Stubbings The Guardian tells the Supreme Mother the "good news" about the great honour she is to receive as Lex rushes back to tell the others Trudy is to be executed. Trudy pleads for her life but the Guardian is unswayed. Trudy blames May for making her go to the Guardian in the first place but May tells her the Guardian sees her as a threat. KC finds Alice and Ellie printing up more fliers and realises they are the Resistance but they turn down his offer to help because they don't trust him. The Guardian orders Trudy's sentence be carried out the next day in pubic to make an example of her to all who oppose him and he asks Luke to organise it. Salene, now well ensconced with the Chosen, goes to Ryan upset about what is to happen to Trudy but Ryan says she should ask Luke or the Guardian for answers and tells her she can have the Chosen or him, not both. Luke goes to Ellie in the night to ask for her help to save the Supreme Mother — the Guardian's decision was made in haste and for all the wrong reasons he believes. Ellie convinces Tai-San, Ryan and Alice to help rescue Trudy but they have doubts when they hear it is Luke's plan they'll be enacting. However, because Ellie trusts him, they decide to use their secret weapon to contact the rebels — Patsy. With Trudy confined to the cage with Brady, KC creates a commotion in the mall proclaiming the return of Zoot allowing Trudy to be freed. Fleeing through the sewers, Trudy must give Brady to Luke so she can climb the ladder to reach Bray and Pride who are are waiting for her but once topside, Luke refuses to hand over Brady.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Sarah Major as Patsy, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke Episode 3.17 UK: January 13, 2001 Screenplay by Harry Duffin Directed by Janet Stubbings Bray and Pride return to the Resistance's racetrack HQ with Trudy. Back at the mall, the Mall Rats are happy to have freed Trudy but May is concerned what will happen to them. Salene makes it clear she had no role in the plot and Luke tells Ellie he'll cover up her involvement. Lex isn't happy Bray managed to rescue Trudy but not Tai-San while Ebony is glad they have secured the Supreme Mother and wants to parade her in the streets as a propaganda exercise. To keep Trudy safe, Bray asks Pride to take her to Amber. With Trudy gone, the Guardian allows May to look after Brady. Salene questions Luke about the future of the Chosen without Trudy and he assures her they're as strong as ever. Salene admits she's worried about losing Ryan but Luke tells her he'll always be there for her. Taken before the Guardian, KC admits he caused the panic in the mall but denies it was part of a larger plot to free Trudy — he really did see Zoot! The Guardian is perplexed why Zoot would appear to KC of all people but names KC as his new oracle.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Sarah Major as Patsy, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Matthew Bentley as Chosen Guard 1 Episode 3.18 UK: January 13, 2001 Screenplay by Joe Boyle Directed by Janet Stubbings The Guardian regrets trying to reunite Zoot and Trudy, now realising her reprieve is Zoot's way of telling him she was unworthy to die — just as she is unworthy to be Supreme Mother. Pending further enlightenment, he orders Luke to have Trudy's name be blackened. Alice, Ellie and Tai-San are pondering KC's fate when they see him prance by. Alice stops him but he won't reveal his new status, just that he's kept them in the clear. Brady crawls away while May is sleeping but her frantic search for the child is interrupted by a guard telling her to take Brady to the Guardian. May asks Patsy for help to search but the poor girl mysteriously vanishes and is never seen again. Alice is upset Ellie has not been making an effort to get to know Luke when she knows he sympathises with them and believes he could be won over. Ellie agrees to try but her efforts are awkward. Enjoying his new role as Oracle, KC tells the Guardian he's had a second encounter. The Guardian is rapt to hear of the encounter but Luke is unimpressed as KC tells of a revelation calling for a celebration to mark Brady's saving — with treats for the kids. May finds Brady in an off-limit planning room where she takes the opportunity to steal a map. After a flash of insight, the Guardian makes an announcement — Zoot has revealed that the Supreme Mother shall now be known by her true title — Impostor — and all babies shall live under the Guardianship of the Chosen. Ryan is not pleased when Salene identifies herself as one of the expectant mothers but she insists its for the best. While returning from delivering Trudy to Amber, Pride stops to help two lost children only to be ambushed by their older brother.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Sarah Major as Patsy, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Matthew Bentley as Chosen Guard 1 Anneke-Lee Gough as Novice 1 Note: Bevin Linkhorn (Ned), Amelia Reynolds (Tally), and James Ordish (Andy) join the cast Episode 3.19 UK: January 20, 2001 Screenplay by Charles Hodges Directed by John Reid The Guardian is angered by rumours in the city that he is losing control following Trudy's escape and orders new slaves be gathered and an example made of anyone who steps out of line. KC tells Luke a new vision has revealed he's to go through the city making sure Zoot's work is being done the right way. Luke sees through KC's feeble attempt to get a free pass to the city but KC gets what he wants by threatening to tell the Guardian that Luke helped Trudy escape. Ebony tells Bray and Lex they need vehicles to even the playing field with the Chosen and takes Lex to scout the Locos' old fuel dump by the docks. KC flaunts new status to Chosen guards patrolling the streets and settles back it to his old ways, taking bribes for good reports. Tied up, Pride watches as the two kids snare two other victims from whom they steal food. When their brother, Andy, returns, he informs Pride he is to be sold to the Chosen. KC hides in a car when he sees Lex and Ebony approaching. Unable to start the car, Lex tells Ebony he wants to cash in his rain check. Lex climbs into the back seat of the car only to have Ebony slam the door on him. Ryan starts a fight with a guard but Luke intervenes to save Ryan's life — something he wasn't able to do for Patsy when she was caught spying. Ellie asks Luke if he is a true believer, hoping he is just pretending, but Luke says he only saved the Supreme Mother because of a misunderstanding. Disappointed, Ellie tells Luke the Guardian is a lunatic and if Luke had any guts he'd get rid of him and take over. Alice is upset at Ellie for picking a fight rather than sweet-talking Luke as they planned. Ebony and Lex reach the fuel depot but find it empty while KC seeks out an old contact, Fisheye. Luke tells the Guardian there is concern among "some people" that he is spending time with Tai-San, a non-believer, but the Guardian believes Tai-San holds the key to the Mall Rats' defeat. During another of their talks, the Guardian is nearly talked into succumbing to temptation by Tai-San but he resists her. Salene participates in a Zoot-themed ante-natal class but is put off by the commandment that Zoot be the "new and only father" to her baby. Seeking clarification, she is told her baby has no need of Ryan — he will never even see the baby.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Matthew Bentley as Chosen Guard 1 Nicolette Fisher as Rosie, Drew Neemia as Fisheye, Tim Kano as Chosen Guard Clark Note: Sarah Major (Patsy) is no longer in the cast with only some brief exposition explaining Patsy's disappearance Episode 3.20 UK: January 20, 2001 Screenplay by Carrie Rose Directed by John Reid Luke summons Tai-San to see the Guardian who apologises for having frightened her while she continues her subtle efforts to entice him. KC tells Fisheye about being the Guardian's new oracle but admits it's not entirely a scam — sometimes he can hear Zoot. Ellie apologises to Luke who explains he feels misunderstood and wonders if she can look beyond his cloak to the person inside, and offers to send a message to Jack for her. When May tells Alice she wants to leave the Chosen and rejoin the Mall Rats, Alice asks her to be their spy. May meets with Lex and tells him the Chosen guards got Patsy — she's not coming back. Salene tells Ryan about the maternity meeting but leaves out the most important part. May returns to the mall thinking Ryan knows everything and while she doesn't reveal the truth, she does make him curious enough to confront Salene who is finally forced to tell him he's not going to see his child — ever. Salene tries to explain that she had no choice but to agree to those terms but Ryan accuses her of being one of "them" and leaves the room enraged. Ellie tells Alice that Luke is not like the others but Alice doesn't buy it and is concerned her sister is falling for the enemy. Tai-San tells Alice her approach with the Guardian is working, explaining he's a deeply confused human being, a lost soul in emotional pain acting out of fear and desperation. She's convinced she can reach him but Alice is concerned for her safety. May sneaks back into the planning room and copies a map and is nearly caught. Ryan gets KC to use his skeleton key to unlock his chains and goes on a rampage, beating up several guards before reaching the Guardian. Ryan has the upper hand in the one-on-one fight but is ultimately overpowered by numbers.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Drew Neemia as Fisheye Note: the final appearance of Ryan Runciman (Ryan) Episode 3.21 UK: January 25, 2001 Screenplay by David Fox Directed by John Reid Luke apologises to the Guardian for the lapse in security that allowed Ryan to get to him but the Guardian is buoyed by having been "snatched from the jaws of a martyr's death", seeing the attack as confirmation of Zoot's message that the children have no other father but Him. Luke tells Salene that despite the Guardian's orders that Ryan be executed, he has smuggled him off to one of their mining colonies. Luke asks her not to tell anyone the truth and to go on as expected, explaining he is helping because he believes Zoot is merciful, not vengeful. Salene embraces Luke as Ellie walks in. KC sets up a trading post and holds one item above all others — Zoot's goggles. Despite his initial reluctance to sell them, KC strikes a deal — and does so over and over again. Ned tries to sell Pride to the Chosen but his outrageous asking price is rejected and he's made a counteroffer he can't refuse — all of them in exchange for their lives. Luke tries to smooth things over with Ellie who accuses him of getting Ryan out of the way so he could move in on Salene. Their conversation is interrupted by Tai-San who gives him an urgent message for the Guardian asking to see him. May meets with Lex, Ebony and Bray and tells them Ryan has been taken away while they tell her of Dal's death. May gives them the map she copied which shows the location of a fuel depot. Pride, Ned, and his twin siblings, Tally and Andy, are brought to the mall. Recognising Pride, May tells him she's a spy and both promise to keep one other's secrets.

As the Rebel leaders toast their victory, Luke laments the loss of the depot while the Guardian ponders the incident's greater meaning. The Guardian asks his oracle for the meaning behind the explosion but KC struggles to come up with an answer and settles for Option A — a portent of a celebration to urge the Guardian on to greater things. Luke brings Ellie word from Jack who is busy doing "important work". She sends back her message of love through Luke who expresses his own feelings for her in his suggested reply message. Salene overhears their conversation and tells Ellie how lucky they are to have Luke doing things for them causing Ellie to sharply remind her that Luke and the Guardian are the ones responsible for the mess they now find themselves in. May meets with Ebony, Lex and Bray and tells them about the new arrivals while Ned challenges the Mall Rats on their ineffective resistance efforts. Out in the city, KC regales a crowded bar with his oracle stories but his goggle-wearing audience has another subject they want to discuss. The Mall Rats find Ned and his siblings spray painting the mall. Alice goes off on him for trashing their home but Ned pushes Alice too far and gets punched out. Tai-San offers the Guardian her help in addressing his feelings, explaining that only by owning up to his fears will he find peace. Alone, Salene prays to Zoot to bring Ryan back to her and make everything as it was. The Guardian has a revelation — Zoot wants Tai-San to reign over the Chosen by his side for all eternity.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Drew Neemia as Fisheye, Oliver Gascoigne as Scooter Note: Oliver Gascoigne appeared previously as Gambler No. 1 in episode 2.36 Episode 3.23 UK: February 03, 2001 Screenplay by Tony Osborn Directed by John Reid The rebels attack one of the Chosen's trucks transporting slaves and rescue three pregnant girls and find a flier for a troupe of travelling entertainers. Lex is intrigued by the description of the show and wants to check it out. The Guardian tells Luke about his revelation that Tai-San is to be the new Supreme Mother. Luke tries to get him to reconsider but there's no arguing with the Will of Zoot. KC offers to be Tally's "sugar daddy" to protect her from Ned's bullying and recruits her to sell his products in the mall. Pride yields to Ned's bullying and begins to do his errands for him. The rebels watch the entertainers' puppet show which reinterprets recent events but casts them in the role of the villains. The rebels confront the puppeteers on the road and take their places for the next show to tell the real truth about the Guardian and the threat posed by the Chosen. Alice sees Tai-San's elevation to Supreme Mother as a great opportunity for them to manipulate the Guardian but Ellie is concerned it's too dangerous and Tai-San might be taken over.

The Guardian talks with Luke about the prophetic power of dreams and tells him about his own dream which foretells a great test that is to come before he and Tai-San can be raised to the divine together. Lex is convinced the new Supreme Mother must be May or Salene, exclaiming how the traitor will get what she deserves when the war's over. Ebony wants to ambush the coronation to take out the Guardian. Bray doesn't want to resort to violence but Lex backs Ebony and Bray steps forward as the only one capable of using the crossbow. Despite both being unhappy about Tai-San's new position, Luke accuses Ellie of getting rid of Trudy so she could put Tai-San in her place, further suggesting she has only been nice to him in an effort to manipulate him. Later, Ellie tells Luke that while she did try to use him, she didn't in regard to Tai-San and admits to caring for him. Salene wants answers from Alice about Tai-San but Alice says she's not trustworthy enough to know the bigger picture. May asks Luke to make her Tai-San's handmaiden and offers to spy on her for him. Seeing the coronation as a money-making opportunity, KC gets help from Andy and Tally to make some commemorative T-shirts. The Guardian informs Tai-San she needs to go through a public purification ritual. Asking what power she will have as Supreme Mother, the Guardian tells her she will be by his side and the symbolic mother of all the Chosen. She tells him she wants to play a bigger role but he resists her attempted seduction. The rebels go to the purification ceremony for a practice run but Lex is taken aback to see it is Tai-San that is the new Supreme Mother. Inside the mall, Salene tells Alice the Resistance is to blame for everything going wrong. Alice argues with her but Salene storms out of the room. Following her, Alice watches as Salene falls down the stairs.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Ryan Runciman as Ryan, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy Episode 3.25 UK: February 10, 2001 Screenplay by Charles Hodges Directed by Andrew Marrifield At the rebels' new base at the docks, Bray tries to reassure Lex that Tai-San hasn't betrayed him and the cause despite her public renunciation of him and asks him to give her the benefit of the doubt. Ellie comforts Alice who is distraught after Salene's fall but she receives no sympathy from Ned. The Guardian showers Tai-San in flowers but the moment in interrupted by May who arrives and whispers to Tai-San that KC saw Lex on the street. Tai-San is worried about Lex after KC tells her that he is angry with her so May offers to get a message to Lex asking him to meet Tai-San. Ellie is hiding from Luke who wants to talk about their kiss. KC divides the proceeds from the Tai-San T-shirt sales but when Tally and Andy don't like their cut, he reminds them of his rule: my scam, my takings. Tai-San convinces the Guardian to let her leave the mall under the guise of going on a "vision quest". Leaving the mall under the protection of a group of guards, Tai-San dismisses them so she can meet with Lex. Back at the mall, Salene loses her baby as a result of her fall.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Matthew Bentley as Chosen Guard 1 Episode 3.26 UK: February 10, 2001 Screenplay by Carrie Rose Directed by Andrew Marrifield Meeting with Lex, Tai-San reassures him that she loves him but he says it's over between them. At the mall, Luke tries to comfort Salene who bemoans at having lost everyone close to her and expresses her belief that Zoot is punishing her for being bad. Tai-San explains to Lex she's not sleeping with the Guardian but believes she is beginning to get through to him and can hopefully change him. Lex doesn't want Tai-San to return to the mall and she must call back her guards to force him to leave. Luke tells a disinterested Guardian that Salene has lost her baby but he questions Luke's support for the Mall Rats and voices his agreement with Salene's theory that it was Zoot's punishment. Luke finally corners Ellie to talk and she admits their kiss was a mistake. He believes they can make things work but Ned's arrival ends their conversation. Lex tells Ebony and Bray he met with Tai-San and admits Bray was right about Tai-San. Ebony still wants to proceed as planned but Bray wants to give Tai-San a chance to change the Guardian before having to resort to bloodshed. Andy and Tally extend KC's T-shirt scam by selling autographed shirts. When KC asks how much have "we" made, Andy reminds him: our scam, our takings.

Bray argues with Ebony, worried that if they killed the Guardian, the Chosen would take it out on the Mall Rats. To celebrate the coronation of the Supreme Mother, Luke announces an amnesty — one of the Mall Rats can go free. Alice asks Luke about Salene and realises from his reaction that she lost the baby. Ned sticks his nose into the conversation and makes insinuations about Luke and Ellie. Alice recognises the amnesty as a plot to start the Mall Rats fighting amongst themselves but concedes that it is too good an opportunity to pass up. Unable to choose who will go free, KC comes with a plan to get rid of the obnoxious Ned. Tai-San tells the Guardian about her dream but he is unconvinced of the danger, happy to leave his safety in the hands of Zoot. Alice offers a tearful apology to Salene who explains how losing her baby was all part of Zoot's great plan and that Alice was just his tool. Alice later tells Ellie she believes Salene is now one of the Chosen, having swapped her obsession with Bray for that of Zoot. Ned's freedom is short-lived as he is hauled back into the mall after being arrested for getting into a drunken fight with the guards. Outside the mall, Lex gets into position as the coronation begins. Bray must force his way past Ebony to stop him and manages to knock the crossbow just as Lex shoots. On the podium below, Tai-San pushes the Guardian aside and the crowd screams as Lex's bolt finds a target.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Matthew Bentley as Chosen Guard 1 Episode 3.28 UK: February 17, 2001 Screenplay by Anthony Read Directed by Andrew Merrifield Lex collapses upon seeing his shot strike Tai-San but Bray and Ebony get him to his feet and the trio escape as panic breaks out on the street below. Luke reminds the Guardian of the warnings both he and Tai-San gave him but the Guardian still holds Luke responsible for the attack despite the reminder that he and Tai-San are alive and the Divine Child safe. Luke suggests the shooting was a result of Zoot's disapproval of what the Guardian is doing and calls out the Guardian on his inability to communicate with Zoot. Angered, the Guardian labels Luke a traitor and dismisses him as his Lieutenant. Tally and Andy put KC's loaded dice to good work scamming kids but it is KC who nearly gets arrested by the guards. The Guardian thanks Tai-San for saving his life and asks for her forgiveness for not heeding Zoot's warning. Bray stops Lex from going to the mall to check on Tai-San and volunteers to go in his place. When he returns with a rumour of Tai-San being carried back to the mall, Lex assumes she is dead. May reports to Alice that the Guardian has gone crazy and disorder is sweeping through the Chosen prompting Alice to announce the time to act has come. Pride tells Salene the Supreme Mother wants to speak with her and offers to watch Brady. When May joins Pride in Brady's room he tells her the time has come to make their move. Ellie asks Luke to join the rebels but he tells her he still believes in what the Chosen could be without the Guardian and vows to stop him. Salene discovers Brady is gone. Taken by Pride and May, she is now with the rebels. Pride's explanation that the escape was all Tai-San's idea is welcome news for Lex who is surprised to learn she is still alive.

Salene insists that it was Pride and Tai-San who were responsible but the Guardian doesn't believe her and orders she and Tally, who was only helping search for Brady, go on trial as well — and their punishment will be death. Amber tells Bray she doesn't look forward to the world after the Chosen are gone, believing there will be a return of the chaos and fighting that there was after the virus. The Guardian blames KC for not foreseeing the abduction and KC is forced to admit to having no further visions. Unfazed, the Guardian says he believes Zoot is preparing to finally show himself to him. The remaining Mall Rats search for a way out of the mall and are encouraged by rumours of guard desertions and looting but less so by word the prisoners are to be gotten ride of. Lex doesn't believe Trudy, who returned with Amber, is reformed and wants to lock her up but Bray believes Amber's claim that she has changed.

At his trial, Luke takes sole responsibility and encourages the other members of the Chosen to rise against the Guardian. Receiving no support, he is locked up. The Guardian addresses the Mall Rats and tells them Zoot wanted Brady to be taken — the child isn't needed to fulfil their destiny. Back at the rebels' HQ, Trudy steps forward to speak to the assembled leaders and successfully implores them to seize the opportunity to make a new future. Salene sneaks down to the cage hoping to rescue Luke. When guards come, he manges to convince them to desert and set him free. With mall security now in the hands of the Chosen's elite Praetorian guard, the Guardian's demands the rebels turn over Luke who they are hiding. Meanwhile, Luke tells Ellie he loves her and asks her to come away with him. Amber tells Bray about her idea to capture groups of the Chosen and use Trudy to deprogram them.

May and Amber are put off by Ebony's overt flirting with Pride. When Pride goes after Amber when she leaves the room, it is more proof for Lex that there is something going on between the pair. Alice tells Tally and Andy to stay out of trouble and gives them and KC the task of finding Ned who has gone missing. Alice is upset to learn Ellie is risking their lives by hiding Luke and accuses her sister of having the hots for him.

In Ned's absence, KC suggests he, Tally, and Andy swear a family oath to bind them together. May admits to Amber she loves Pride and Amber advises her to tell him. On patrol, Bray confronts Pride and asks him if he's sleeping with Amber. Pride calls Bray an idiot for even suspecting Amber's baby wasn't his and recommends he apologise to Amber. The Praetorian Guard catch Ellie taking food to Luke. With the Praetorian Guard trashing the mall looking for Luke, Alice tells Ellie that the Guardian is concentrating his remaining forces at the mall and they've changed from being prisoners to hostages.

The Guardian revels in the sounds of chaos outside the mall while at the docks, Bray tells Amber it is the sound of dissent — the Chosen fighting amongst themselves.

Alice asks Ned to team up with her to find a way out and the pair start digging through the wall in the basement. Ellie takes food to Luke who blames himself for the chaos that is unfolding, believing he should have followed his heart and spread the true teachings of Zoot rather then the Guardian's interpretations.

Back at the mall, Bray locks up Luke with the Guardian. Luke congratulates Bray on his victory and offers his advice on leading the city — he can't show any compassion and if he's serious about building a new world, he (Luke) needs to be found guilty and executed if justice is to be seen to be done. Mildly amused by the incident, Amber demands to know who took revenge on May and Lex reveals himself as the guilty party. Bray asks Amber to act as an impartial magistrate to preside over Luke's trial. Tai-San is upset with Lex for what he did to May and Ellie is upset at Luke for willingly sacrificing himself. The angry mob returns demanding justice and this time is not willing to be dismissed.

Says she'll think about it but in the meantime suggests Ellie restart The Amulet. Lex receives lacklustre support for his recruiting efforts as the kids are all looking to get paid. Back at the mall, Ebony is upset at Ned for ignoring the needs of their captives and makes their care his number one priority. To solve Lex's recruitment problem, Ebony suggests reintroducing money and gives the job to Luke which also solves Ellie's problem. Pony Joe recognises Bray as the leader of the Mall Rats and tells him of meeting another of the Mall Rats — Ryan. Salene shows she has a way with horses and rediscovers a past joy when she manages to ride Apollo. Although upset Bray didn't tell her who he was, Moon takes inspiration from his words and suggests the two of them make a new life for themselves — together. When Pride catches Ned sneaking food for the captives out of the mall, Ned explains it is for a surprise picnic for him and Alice. Encouraged to move on by Joe, Bray departs camp but leaves Joe a note to pass on to Moon which he destroys. Andy tries to feed the Guardian and narrowly avoids his grasp, but this time Ebony witnesses it. Bray returns to the mall and passes on news of Ryan to Salene and she rides off on Apollo to search for him.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Victoria Spence as Salene, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Kelson Henderson as Pony Joe, Deanah Mayhew as Moon, Martha Hardy-Ward as Heckler Episode 3.45 UK: April 21, 2011 Screenplay by David Fox Directed by Danny Mulheron Luke unveils his new coins but Pride doesn't like what they herald — the birth of a new class system. KC is upset at losing his horse but Bray helps him see that Salene was following her heart — something he was doing himself when he gave the horse to May. Ebony suggests Luke be the tribe's new treasurer believing he's the perfect candidate given that he can't leave the mall to spend the new money. Andy refuses to feed the Guardian anymore and not even Lex's attempt to convince him it is a rite of passage into manhood will sway him. Ned returns to the mall after taking food to the captive girls and tells Ebony he can't keep getting away from Alice — he needs more goods to throw her off the scent. Lex begs off his Guardian feeding duty citing his increased workload as sheriff so Tai-San takes on the job. KC and May share their problems but he misinterprets her hypothetical and thinks she's talking about him. May apologises to Pride for her overreaction to finding Ellie interviewing him for her paper and tells him she cares about him. She is awkward but endearing. Andy warns Tai-San the Guardian is only pretending to be insane and cautions her not to turn her back on him. Moz has concerns about the new currency system and holds up Ellie's latest edition of The Amulet which warns of a new underclass as her evidence. Ebony backs Moz's view that it's undemocratic to have the Mall Rats running things and proposes an election to chose a new leader for the city, nominating Bray as the Mall Rats' candidate. Bray commends Ebony and tells her she sounds more and more like Amber. Tai-San takes off the Guardian's shackles so his wounds can heal. He moves to attack her when her back is turned but her words give him pause to change his mind. Ned has tired of waiting for Ebony to deliver on her promises and gives her a deadline.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Beth Allen as Amber/Eagle, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Rebecca Stone as Mozzie 1, Katie Angus as Mozzie 2, William Corcoran as Kid 1, Daniel Marwick as Kid 2 Episode 3.46 UK: April 21, 2011 Screenplay by David Fox Directed by Danny Mulheron May and Pride wake up in bed together. May asks if he's thinking about Amber but Pride confesses that while he's supposed to be heading up the search for her, he doesn't know where to look. While discussing the election with Luke, Tai-San admits she doesn't like it, believing power corrupts, but does like that it has brought the tribe closer together. Alice warns Ned that Ebony can't be trusted completely because she will eventually stab you in the back. Ellie refuses to use The Amulet to promote Bray's candidacy. The Mozzies corner Lex wanting to learn more about the new currency and offer to be his new deputies. Bray talks to Pride who tells him about his suspicions about Ned as well as Ebony's theory which blames Trudy for the kidnapping. Luke thanks Ebony for giving him a job and credits her with saving his life. Overhearing their conversation, Ellie is clearly upset given all she's done for Luke and expresses regret at throwing away her relationship with Jack. Ned tells Ebony her time is up and threatens to tell Bray where Amber is when Ebony tells him she has everything he wanted for the farm. May offers to use her old contacts to help Pride search for Amber and he asks her to keep their relationship a secret. KC gives Andy a business lesson when he helps him deal with a trader who is reluctant to accept the new coins. Lex asks Ebony if she ever misses being in charge but she says that part of her life is over and she doesn't have ambitions anymore. Moz is upset with her tribe for joining Lex. When Ellie arrives to interview Moz, she tries to recruit Ellie, by force if necessary, but Lex saves her. KC gives the necklace he bought with Andy's money to May and asks her out but May won't accept the gift and tries to let him down easy. Ebony gives Tai-San a reprieve and takes the Guardian his food. Alone in the cage with the Guardian, Ebony tells him Ned has made a deal to turn him over to Moz.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Rebecca Stone as Mozzie 1, Katie Angus as Mozzie 2, Drew Neemia as Trader Episode 3.47 UK: April 28, 2011 Screenplay by Charles Hodges Directed by Danny Mulheron Ebony pays the Guardian another visit — just long enough to leave him a crowbar — and then wakes Ned to tell him he needs to deliver the Guardian to Moz. May has no news from her contacts about Amber and Trudy but Pride doubts an outsider could have even done it. Ned excitedly tells Alice his plans for them are falling into place but keeps the details a mystery. Ebony gets the Mall Rats to hand out election leaflets allowing Ned to take the Guardian out of the mall through the sewers. Ned hides him in a coffin to continue the journey. KC tries to return the necklace to the trader but he can't get a cash refund. KC's offer of some of his old, broken watches only gets him in more trouble. Alice shares her joy with May who is supportive, but sceptical, about Ned's promises, and in turn tells Alice about her and Pride. When Ned stops to rest, the Guardian emerges from the coffin and hits him over the head with the crowbar. May pulls Lex aside during Bray's campaign speech to tell him the Guardian has escaped. Lex goes on stage to tell Bray who becomes tongue-tied. As the Mall Rats search for the Guardian, Pride wants to know where Ned is and Andy tells them the Guardian has fooled them all since day one. With Bray no longer a viable candidate, Luke suggests Ebony as a replacement and Bray begs her to do it. Lex also wants the position but Bray tells him his unpopularity as sheriff makes him unsuitable. Lex accuses Ebony of plotting everything in a bid to seize power causing Ebony to reject the job and storm off to her room. With a smile on her face, Ebony waits for Bray to come and plead for her to reconsider. Ebony agrees to run in the election and even gets an apology from Lex. Amber is beginning to lose hope but Trudy encourages her to think of her baby and stay strong. The Guardian demands to know where Ned has hidden the Supreme Mother.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Beth Allen as Amber/Eagle, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as the Guardian, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Drew Neemia as Trader, Rebecca Stone as Mozzie 1, Katie Angus as Mozzie 2, David Southern as Heckler Episode 3.48 UK: April 28, 2011 Screenplay by Anthony Read Directed by Danny Mulheron KC tries to sell the necklace May rejected to Alice but she won't take it either and suggests he gives it to May. The Mozzies find Ned's body and bring him back to the mall prompting Lex to launch a murder inquiry. Alice is distraught over Ned's death but when KC breaks the news to Tally and Andy, they are only upset at Ned for getting himself killed. The Guardian travels to the abandoned factory when Ned has been hiding Trudy and Amber intent on destroying the false Supreme Mother. Trudy tries to fight him off but he overpowers her and turns to face Amber when Ebony bursts in. The Guardian rushes her and escapes. Ebony brings Amber and Trudy back to the mall and they reveal Ned was the kidnapper, another blow to Alice. Bray tells Amber about recent events including Ebony standing for election — news which doesn't please Amber. Luke tries to talk Ellie into using The Amulet to attack Moz and play down Ned being the kidnapper while focusing on the Guardian's role. KC tries to sell the necklace to Bray, and then Luke, but when Pride asks to buy it for May, KC refuses to sell it to him. Alice buries Ned at the farm. Luke oversees the voting and despite an early lead for Moz, Ebony (possibly aided by Lex taking advantage of the illiterate voters) is elected as the new leader of the city. While Bray is encouraged by the chance at a new beginning, Amber fears it is the beginning of the end.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Beth Allen as Amber/Eagle, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as The Guardian, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Bevin Linkhorn as Ned, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Rebecca Stone as Mozzie 1, Katie Angus as Mozzie 2, Leon Alexander as Voting Kid 4 Note: Bevin Linkhorn's final appearance as Ned (3.18 - 3.48) Episode 3.49 UK: May 04, 2001 Screenplay by Charles Hodges Directed by John Reid Jack is fishing when he is distracted by a series of screams. Investigating, he comes across a young girl under attack by two older boys. After scaring them off, Jack turns around to discover the girl is Cloe. Bray wakes Amber from a nightmare about the Guardian. He tells her he blames himself for not turning over the Guardian to the people but she tells him he did the right thing. Ebony has moved back to the familiar confines of the hotel. Tai-San doesn't like the feel of things but Lex assures her he can keep Ebony under control. Cloe tells Jack how she was made to work in the mines until one day the guards were gone and she started making her way back to the city. Ellie goes to the farm to see Alice who is still keeping vigil at Ned's graveside. Lex's search for the Guardian takes him and Pride to the factory where they find KC giving tours. Lex collects fines from the kids but Pride has a go at KC for trying to profit off the girls' kidnapping. Ebony asks Luke for a few bags of coins for herself — for emergencies she assures him. Tai-San's comment that Trudy and Amber were fortunate Ebony showed up when she did is heard by Amber who's not sure it was. Bray visits Ebony to talk about organising the city. He thinks she should hold off on Lex being sheriff because he is scaring too many people but Ebony tells Bray she's already reappointed him to the job. She placates Bray by telling him she wants him to be Chief Justice and sends him back to the mall to look after Amber. When he's gone, Ebony and Moz resume their secret talks. Amber remains suspicious of Ebony and how events have resulted in her running the city. Bray tries to tell her Ebony has changed but makes the mistake of telling Amber she is being paranoid as a result of her pregnancy hormones. Amber tells him Ebony has taken him for a sucker and storms out. Jack directs Cloe back to the mall but it takes some convincing for him to go with her. Lex and KC split their takings from the factory tour scam and Lex promises not to have Pride with him next time. The Guardian observes the comings and goings from the mall. When he finally sees Tai-San leave, he follows and approaches her while she's collecting herbs.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Michael Wesley-Smith as Jack, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as The Guardian, Beth Allen as Amber/Eagle, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Jaimee Kaire-Gataulu as Cloe (uncredited) Note: Jaimee Kaire-Gataulu's first appearance since 3.12. She will go uncredited for the remainder of this season Episode 3.50 UK: May 04, 2001 Screenplay by Anthony Read Directed by John Reid The Guardian wants Tai-San to help him rekindle the faith but she gets away by convincing him they can't do it without the Divine Child. At the farm, Alice is still mourning at Ned's grave and vows to find who killed him. KC is the first to spot Jack and Cloe when they return to the mall and all but ignores Jack when he sees Cloe. Not wanting to see Ellie, Jack won't go inside until Amber tells him Ellie and Luke are both away. Bray is speaking to the others on the need to create a new set of laws when Tai-San arrives and tells them of her encounter with the Guardian and her promise to meet him the next morning with Brady. Tally and Andy try to sell KC's necklace to a trader but Lex confiscates it and sends them on their way. Lex gives the necklace to Pride to return to KC before shaking down the trader for a gift for Tai-San. At the hotel, Ebony has a job for Moz — she wants her to waste the Guardian and will pay double if she does it quietly. Cloe introduces herself to Pride who returns to KC the necklace. May shows a new-found appreciation for the necklace but KC gives it to Cloe instead. May gets upset by Pride's behaviour and accuses him using her to make Amber jealous. He denies it but she won't listen and ends their relationship. Amber convinces Jack to stay the night at the mall. When Ellie returns, she and Jack exchange pleasantries before Ellie retreats. Luke sees she still has feelings for Jack but she assures him he is the one she wants. Lex returns to the mall and learns about Tai-San's encounter with the Guardian and takes over Bray's ambush plan. KC stops in to check on Cloe and promises more items like the necklace if she sticks with him. He asks for a goodnight kiss and she plants one on his forehead. Lex is shocked by Tai-San's revelation that she feels bad for betraying the Guardian's trust. He gives her the gift he got from the trader but she rejects it because of how he obtained it. Ellie goes to see Jack to explain she never meant to hurt him and asks for his forgiveness. He says they have nothing to talk about and she won't see him again after tomorrow. Ebony goes to Luke wanting more coins but he refuses, telling her she's going down the same path as the Guardian. She tells him she's going to rule the city and take whatever she deserves and wants him as her lieutenant — he can take his chances on the street or side with her.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Michael Wesley-Smith as Jack, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as The Guardian, Beth Allen as Amber/Eagle, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Arty Papageorgiou as Stall Holder, Jaimee Kaire-Gataulu as Cloe (uncredited) Episode 3.51 UK: May 11, 2001 Screenplay by Joe Boyle Directed by John Reid Luke gives Ebony more coins. She still wants more but he's making them as fast as he can and giving her the lion's share. Lex lays out his plan to capture the Guardian and while Tai-San still feels bad for betraying him, she knows he can't be allowed to roam free. Ebony's build-up reminds Luke of the Guardian and he's saddened to realise he hasn't changed as much as he thought. Ebony tells Moz about the Mall Rats' ambush plan. Ebony doesn't want the Guardian taken alive but knows they can't get close enough to kill him themselves so Moz arranges for her agent, Duff, to join the ambush squad. The Guardian is captured and Bray manages to stop Ebony's assassin. Lex refuses to turn the Guardian over to Ebony's private guards and takes him back to the mall and locks him up in the cage. KC is collecting protection money from the casino when he spots May drowning her sorrows. Pride joins them and takes May outside to talk. When May tells Pride she loves him, but knows he doesn't feel the same, Pride surprises her by revealing that he does love her. Back at the mall, Luke has decided to leave and gives Jack a letter to pass on to Ellie. Bray and Amber interrupt Ebony's conversation with the Guardian. Ebony tells them the Guardian told her he had a pact with Ned and demands he be executed immediately but the Guardian counters by revealing everything — that Ebony arranged his escape and got Ned to tell him where the prisoners were being held. Bray is not sure the Guardian can be believed but Amber is willing to accept Ebony was behind everything in an attempt to seize power. Unable to ignore the possibility, they agree to investigate. Jack delivers Luke's note to Ellie which asks her to find happiness with someone she deserves. Ebony finds Ellie crying over the note and advises her to go to the farm to talk to Alice and asks Ellie to inform her sister that the Guardian admitted to killing Ned.©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Michael Wesley-Smith as Jack, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as The Guardian, Beth Allen as Amber/Eagle, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Karl Kite Rangi as Duff, Benj Berryman as Casino Boss, Alex Greig as Ebony's Man No. 1, David Ciurlionis as Ebony's Man No. 2, Jaimee Kaire-Gataulu as Cloe (uncredited) Episode 3.52 UK: May 11, 2001 Screenplay by Tony Osborn Directed by John Reid Jack quietly slips out of the mall, passing Amber, Bray, Trudy and Tai-San who are discussing what to do about Ebony. They all agree they have no choice but to proceed with an investigation. Continuing out of the city, Jack passes a determined Alice who is marching back to the mall. May asks Pride if he really meant it when he said he loved her. He assures her he did but his demeanour says otherwise. The Guardian tells Lex he needs him alive to bear witness against Ebony — only he can put their doubts about her to rest — as well as Lex's doubts about Tai-San's fidelity. The Guardian then tells Lex about his vision of the future, warning that the true bringers of Power and Chaos are coming. Jack stops in at the farm to say good-bye to Ellie and tells her about seeing Alice heading toward the mall in her war paint. Bray, Tai-San, and Amber go to the hotel to tell Ebony they'll be holding an inquiry into her actions. Ebony agrees to cooperate, later telling Moz she needs to be seen to be on the side of Justice. Leaving the mall, Luke turns around when he sees Alice stride past. She goes straight to the cage, slugs Lex, and confronts Ned's killer. Luke manages to stop her from killing the Guardian but as he's consoling her, the Guardian grabs Luke. Outside, a large military transport aircraft flies toward the city... Bray and Amber return to the mall and announce Ebony has agreed to cooperate with the investigation. Lex tells them about Alice's attack and they all go to the cage where Alice tells them she's killed the Guardian. When Bray asks who told Alice the Guardian was the one who killed Ned, Ellie admits it was her. Trudy arrives with word Ebony and her people are gathering outside the mall gates having heard about the Guardian's death. Bray orders Lex arrest Alice and goes to talk to Ebony. On the way, Ellie adds that it was Ebony who told her to tell Alice. Outside, Ebony champions Alice as a hero to the gathered crowd. Bray accuses her of orchestrating everything and Ebony directs her guards arrest Bray and Amber and orders them banished from the city. Lex guides the pair through the angry mob to the edge of the city. Bray asks Lex to help bring Ebony down but he won't and wishes them well. Elsewhere, the Guardian leads a bound Luke, explaining to him the Chosen still have followers who believe. Arriving at their destination, the Guardian is met by one of his followers and releases Luke with an offer to join them. The approaching military aircraft is heard by all — by Ebony as she basks in her glory; by outcasts Bray and Amber (who has gone into premature labour); and by the Mall Rats. As the airplane passes over the Guardian, he exclaims, "The true bringers of chaos… they're here". Inside the plane, the rear cargo doors open and a squad of masked paratroopers jump out. Upon reaching the ground, their leader radios in to announce the landing of the invasion force...©tzuk Cast: Caleb Ross as Lex, Dwayne Cameron as Bray, Meryl Cassie as Ebony, Michelle Ang as Tai-San, Michael Wesley-Smith as Jack, Jennyfer Jewell as Ellie, Vanessa Stacey as Alice, Ari Boyland as KC, Laura Wilson as May, Nick Miller as Pride, Antonia Prebble as Trudy, Jacob Tomuri as Lt Luke, Damon Andrew as The Guardian, Beth Allen as Amber/Eagle, Georgia-Taylor Woods as Brady, Amelia Reynolds as Tally, James Ordish as Andy, Miriama Smith as Moz, Rebecca Stone as Mozquito No. 2, Jaimee Kaire-Gataulu as Cloe (uncredited)	Featured Series All Saints The Artful Dodger Bay of Fires Blue Heelers Bluey Boy Swallows Universe Class of '07 A Country Practice The Dr Blake Mysteries Doctor Doctor Five Bedrooms The Flying Doctors Heartbreak High ['22] Last King of the Cross McLeod's Daughters Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries My Life is Murder NCIS: Sydney North Shore Offspring Packed To The Rafters A Place To Call Home Prosper Royal Flying Doctor Service Satisfaction Ten Pound Poms Total Control The Tourist Upright Underbelly Wentworth Wolf Like Me Miscellaneous TV Series Telemovies & miniseries In production Industry Awards Links Industry sites Actors and actresses Australian TV sites Site Info About FAQ Update history My viewing Privacy Policy
