As SynteX completes its transformation from GreenLit’s ashes, Yelena oversees the first successful human trial of Substance V—a new Unity variant laced with her blood and Vorazd’s will. Dr. Chen’s Resonance device quietly controls the staff. Back in Florida, Marisol initiates seven clients through Unity’s metamorphosis. From the doorway, Yelena watches in silence as bodies convulse and rise transformed. Inside, a new cultist waits beneath the Resonance—Billie Morgan, barefoot and grinning, ready to join the symphony.

In Miami, Yelena presents the Chrysalis to Marisol. Compelled by Yelena (influenced by Vorazd), Marisol turns its key. Mirrors emerge, consuming Marisol’s memories and desires, transforming her reflection until she declares herself a “Better Me,” corrupted. Later, in New York, Yelena uses nature-bending powers linked to the Chrysalis to attack wrestler Sev Yurievich. She taunts him, implying his corruption is next “underneath The Black Rainbow.”
Yelena addresses the reader, demanding cooperation alongside her “Other Self.” In a New Orleans ICU, she visits her dying half-brother, Nathan, after his stroke. She mocks his condition and discusses her XWF career. Nathan dies, triggering unexpected grief. After coldly dismissing a nurse, Yelena informs Marisol, inheriting Spiral’s fortune as her “Other Self” offers dark comfort.
Yelena and Marisol confront PI Ari Katz in his motel room, where bodyguard Odion has subdued him and staged a noose. The room reveals Katz’s obsession with Yelena. Yelena psychologically torments Katz, threatening his daughter to coerce suicide. Her “Other Self” emerges. Katz tries warning Marisol, but she stays loyal, telling Yelena/Other Me to proceed. The Other Me kicks the chair, hanging Katz, who dies slowly while they laugh.
At Yelena’s house, Marisol kisses her passionately. Yelena hesitates, confronted by her suspicious “Other Self.” Yelena confesses the brutal details of murdering Mari’s grandfather, claiming love as motive. Shocked but focused on the love declaration, Mari accepts Yelena. Their intimacy is interrupted by Yelena’s plan to confront PI Katz. Mari asks to join, and Yelena agrees, intending to “convince” Katz to stop investigating.
In Miami, Marisol Vilaró tells Yelena her estranged grandfather is demanding ownership in VilaroFit. Yelena offers help, and Marisol implicitly asks her to “handle” him. Yelena kidnaps the grandfather, taking him to an abandoned meatpacking plant. Strapped nude to a cart, he’s psychologically tortured for seven days with isolation, repeated music (“What’s New Pussycat?”), and deprivation until he dies. Yelena informs Marisol “It’s done” and prepares to incinerate the body.
