To escape capture, an alien merges with a pregnant woman. This causes unexpected consequences for the aliens, and for Blackwood's team - and violence for the hospital staff when the woman/alien goes into labor.

The aliens organize a series of armored car heists in order to finance the purchase of rubies for their new laser weapons. Meanwhile, Ironhorse is kidnapped by the vengeful husband of a woman Ironhorse had accidentally shot dead while battling an alien raid at a research installation.
