Those who test negative twice can go to the transit zone. Prisoners abuse the tests in order to escape. Suzy is very disappointed in her love for Dennis. Nald bypasses Lommers to become chief of security.

Nurse Cynthia gradually realizes what the plans are for Tyl. The first group of people will soon be released from the cordon while the outside world protests. Too late, Nald notices that Jana is also getting out.

The whole transit, including testing, has to be started over. Jana realizes that Nald wants to eliminate her, but she's desperate to get out and clear Lex's name. Denise wants to take baby Ellie away from Micheline.

Cynthia discovers that Tyl is being drained of his blood to make a priceless vaccine. She puts her career on the line to make this information public. Meanwhile, the new transit period comes to an end.
