Recap
The chapter is called "Motherless ID."

Dr. Jace claims that she included the DNA code in Cyclotronic that helped to create the metahuman cure.

T.C. and Gambi reveals to Jennifer that the ASA chip is connected to Khalil's brain; it cannot be removed. Jennifer is mad that everyone kept the secret from her. T.C has to use his powers to go into Khalil's mind.

A Markovian doctor inserts a glowing green liquid into Tobias.
Lynn tries resisting the Green Light pill, but Dr. Jace begs her to take the pill or give her the cure formula. Lynn refuses as she would rather die than weaponize metahumans.

T.C. is left shaken; Jennifer deduces that the hallway Painkiller is hiding in is Khalil's old apartment. T.C. needs Jennifer's help to create an electric firewall.
Anissa is mad that Jefferson didn't stay behind to help Lynn when he found out about her Green Light addiction. Jefferson thought he would have the time to help her deal through it.
T.C. goes back into Khalil's mind; Painkiller starts a fight again, but Jennifer delivers an electric shock to lock him in a firewall. T.C. dances and celebrates.
A male nurse from The Pit was the spy for Markovia. Major Grey offers to team-up with Jefferson and Anissa to bring Lynn and Tobias back. The deal is that anyone who Jefferson brings on the mission is exempt from the ASA, all their information and details are wiped from the system. Major Grey agrees.
Jefferson tells Jennifer that Lynn was taken. Jennifer volunteers herself and Brandon to join Jefferson's rescue mission. Gambi joins the team too; he is fluent in the language and has a history.
Grace wants to join the mission too, but Anissa refuses to protect her. Grace fights Anissa to show her strength. Grace demands that she goes too; Anissa reluctantly agrees.

T.C. heads back into Khalil's mind when he hasn't woken up from the firewall. Khalil, his inner mind, reveals that he doesn't want to leave his mind to keep everyone safe.
Jennifer wants to go into Khalil's mind to free him. Gambi thinks her ability to form into pure energy, but if she goes in there and shuts his mind, Jennifer will die. Jennifer wants to do it.
Jennifer visits Khalil's mind and begs him to return with her. As he leaves the apartment, Painkiller shows him memories of the atrocities that he committed, including killing his mother. He says that Khalil will be nothing without him.
Khalil chooses to leave with Jennifer and T.C. Khalil wakes up from his coma. Khalil is still highly toxic to the touch with his poison.
