Jack advises Nikla that his son can only be saved by using the body parts of a donor, and Nikla has Davy arrested for causing the accident and forces him to be the donor. Two months after the operation, the bandages are removed and Nikla sees his son fully recovered, however a few days later he disappears from the hospital. It is revealed that Jack actually remodelled Davy's face to look like Akudo who had actually died from his injuries.
