Max tracks a deadly---and decapitated---Manticore nomlie as Halloween proves a prime time for the mutants to roam Seattle undetected. But as she and Joshua close in on the headless assassin, she almost loses her own head when it becomes clear that Logan and Asha have been spending a bit too much time together.

Logan's hunt for a gang of Steelheads reveals a shocking truth about Max's presumed-dead cohort and his ominous mission to make Cale pay for the botched Manticore attack. But when Max sees that her friend has gone commando, she's forced to choose between "family" and her feelings for Logan. Meanwhile, Original Cindy finds the perfect way to keep Normal off Max's back for missing work while she tends to her dangerous duties.
