With the police closing in and Melvin in custody, Myah Jones makes a daring move—breaking into Athena itself. As Jenkins interrogates Melvin, Athena triangulates Myah’s location, leading Vincent straight to her. Inside Stanley’s office, Myah confronts him with everything she’s uncovered, only to learn a devastating truth: she was never the threat—she was the experiment. Athena used her conviction, Nikki’s death, and Bennett’s betrayal to train its next evolution. When Myah reveals she’s uploaded a virus to destroy the system, a deadly struggle erupts. Shots are fired, alliances shift, and Vincent falls. With Stanley arrested and charges dropped, Myah walks free—but justice isn’t finished. A new federal program, Justitia, rises from Athena’s ashes… and it’s already searching for her.

On the run and inches from capture, Myah Jones narrowly escapes a traffic stop and reunites with Melvin, who prepares her to flee the country. But Athena is tightening its net—tracking her stolen car, identifying her tattoo, and sending Jenkins to raid their hideout. While dodging officers, Myah uncovers Nikki’s hidden laptop and a secret audio file revealing the truth: Karen Atwood was deepfaked, Bennett was her sister’s source, and Myah’s own conviction was the test case that launched Athena. With the program set to wipe the evidence in hours, Myah races to decode the “honeypot” before it disappears. When the cops storm the hacker café, Melvin sacrifices himself to buy her time. Now, with the truth in reach and Athena hunting her harder than ever, Myah heads straight toward the system that destroyed her life.

Myah’s world collapses as police storm her apartment, arresting her for the murder of James Bennett after finding her fingerprints at the crime scene. In interrogation, Jenkins exposes her false Athena identity and accuses her of seeking revenge for Nikki’s death. With no options left, Myah calls Melvin—who forces Perseus to help stage a chaotic diversion inside the station. Myah escapes, only to learn the truth: Bennett and Nikki were part of a covert effort to expose Athena and clear Myah’s past conviction. Someone created a deepfake to frame her. Now labeled a violent threat by Athena’s analytics and hunted across the city, Myah goes underground, securing burner phones and an untraceable car. As police close in, the system tracks her every move. The Viper is back—and running for her life.

Hours later, Bennett is found dead. Now, with Detective Jenkins closing in and Athena’s cameras watching every move, Myah must stay one step ahead of the system that’s designed to predict her.
