How It All Goes Down
Partridge (Cold)
- Partridge has been having dreams about seeing his mother in the academy. He knows she's dead, but then her eye will blink.
- He meets up with Lyda and they get ready to move out; when he sees her he winks at her, and she winks back. Oooooh!
- Once they start making their way, they have to stay single file. No talking. What is this, elementary school?
- Partridge sneaks a kiss when Mother Hestra isn't looking. Score.
- Lyda talks about how Illia was babbling about the seed of truth and whatnot, then Partridge tells her about how he experimented with the vials.
- Lyda remembers when Arvin Weed, the nerdy kid from the Dome—whose parents, as we learned from Aribelle, are allies with the outside—won the first prize at the science fair for making a serum that regenerated a mouse's leg.
- Look out folks: Partridge is about to have a lightbulb moment. Stand back.
- So it all makes sense now: his father already has one of the three ingredients that he needs to reverse Rapid Cell Degeneration. Partridge has the second, and we don't know where the third is.
- Partridge realizes he needs to get inside the Dome to get the truth out.
- Right on cue, a Dust emerges from the earth and lunges at Lyda. Partridge pretty much drop-kicks it in the face.
- It starts to come back, but Mother Hestra snipes it with a lawn dart from a long distance. She'd be a good Call of Duty player.
- They finally reach their destination: a row of fallen prisons. Under the ground is a dark tunnel leading to a subway train. All aboard!
