![]() Then, in the background, we see two helicopters flying towards them. He goes up to talk to her and while they are talking, she drops these subtle hints about something she has done. Thomas sees Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) standing on a high cliff looking out into the distance. Turns out she's the one who knows how to make a "cure" for anyone who's been infected by the "flare" - which helps, considering Brenda was bitten by a Crank.Īll seems well and the entire camp is set to move in the morning. She's the camp's doctor who used to work for WCKED and she recognizes Thomas. At first, they aren't welcomed by their leader Vince (Barry Pepper), but a woman Mary (Lily Taylor) says to let them in. They go through their fair share of dangerous obstacles and they pick up two frenemies, Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito) and Brenda (Rosa Salazar) along the way, who claim they can help them.Įventually, with the help of their new peer, Aris (Jacob Lofland), they get into The Right Arm's camp.
