Dr. Evanston, the urologist, comes to visit Gabe Bolivar -- whose man parts have just fallen off. His manager Ruby Wain is trying to keep things together before his show tomorrow.
Ruby takes Dr. Evanston upstairs to see Gabe Bolivar at the townhouse, who now looks like the goth freak he used to dress up as.
From downstairs, Ruby hears a shriek and a thump. She finds Gabe with his tentacle attached to the still-alive doctor, sucking blood from her neck. She begs Ruby not to leave her, but Ruby takes one look at the situation and runs like hell.
She trips on her way out and limps away, calling someone to tell them that the concert is canceled because Gabe hurt someone "permanently" bad. The person on the other end tells her they'll send someone.

He gives Eph a nail gun with silver nails, explaining that nails will weaken them enough for Abraham to get close enough to kill them. "What we're dealing with here is the fate of the human race, but I don't expect you to believe that yet. You believe you're drafting me into your cause, but I am drafting you into mine," he tells Eph.
Eph tells Abraham about his truck "Esther," which he got in the Congo in exchange for his Rolex when he had to get across a village during an outbreak. Abraham notices they're no heater, which Eph says is a reminder. "So you're a romantic and unpractical. Wonderful," Abraham says.

They hear a noise and head to the shed out back. Eph puts on rubber gloves to avoid the worms, then follows Abraham, with the nail gun in one hand and cell phone in the other. They go in the shed and Ansel lunges at them, but he's still chained. Eph shoots him with a nailgun and Abraham cuts off his head. Abraham finds the chewed upon neighbor still alive in the shed but starting to turn and cuts his head off as well. He torches the shed.
Back in the concentration camp, Abraham wakes up when he hears the Master start to suck on his brother's throat next to him. He stays quiet but looks into his brother's eyes as the Master drains him then breaks his neck.
