After last workweek ’s crumb - pocalypse , the squad receive back to confront enemy of a more human sort : the nefarious puppet masters at Reiden Global and the revengeful FBI . But this would n’t be Zoo without some animal insanity , and the installment ’s form of address , “ Murmuration , ” offers a big ol’ tinge to keep keep an eye on the skies .
Spoilerzzzz …
As you ’ll recall from last workweek , just as Mitch was about to swap the Mother Cell for a disease - curing helping of medical specialty for his darlin ’ Clementine , he spotted Team Zoo ’s mysterious honcho , Delavane , at Reiden Global ’s central office . We pick up at exactly that moment . His first instinct is to catch both the cell and the pill and flee , but a corporation as secretive and sinister as Reiden is robustly equipped to foreclose fleeing . Right ? Nope . Because nebbish Mitch , who by and by admit he “ does n’t address spy , ” proves signally skillful at evading what ’s presumably the good high - tech security biotech billions can buy . A crushed windowpane , some elevator subterfuge , and a hop over a fence afterward , and he ’s free ! Whee !
In another dimly - illume office , Agent Shafer ’s as - yet - unnamed boss , work for an as - yet - nameless organization ( somewhat obviously rhymes with “ F.B.I. ” though ) , is studying photos of Shafer ’s orca ( a.k.a . Jamie ) when an underling , Agent Singer , bursts in . Shafer was in Biloxi on his own clip when he died , Singer discover . The Boss already knew that , but there ’s more : Shafer had exchanged several calls with a certain Chloe Tousignant , on leave from her job shape for Gallic intelligence ( “ French intelligence ? Oxymoron , ” mutter The Boss ) . This is the same Chloe , they realize , who ’s been globe - trotting with Jamie . These dudes are starting to unravel the individuality of Team Zoo . And that ’s not a honest thing for our fun caboodle .
… Who , by the way , ai n’t so fun now that they ’re get a line from Mitch about his nearly - missy with the Mother Cell . Even Jamie , who ’s the only person on the squad who actually likes Mitch a little bit , is wee-wee as hell . He admit he ( almost ) did a shitty thing . But he attempt to guide their anger toward a more pressing event : Delavane ’s presence at Reiden , which was not due to “ Bring Your Shadowy Interpol Agent to the Office Day . ” He work there , guys ! He ’s on the payroll ! He brings cupcakes on natal day ! He ’s on the company softball team !
As Abraham enquire why Reiden would assemble a group to uncover the truth about … Reiden , Chloe ’s telephone set jingles ; it ’s her co - worker back in Paris , letting her bonk she ’s got an FBI warrant on her header . ( So does Jamie . ) No shock there .
While this non - revelation sinks in , the rest of the squad grills Mitch about the possibleness of reversing the animal attacks using the Mother Cell , which they still have in their self-control ( for now ) . Theoretically , it can happen , but they ’ll postulate to lift up a very special kind of fauna : one who has mutate but has not been exposed to the Mother Cell . Finding said animal , Mitch admits , will be like “ regain a acerate leaf in a hatful of needle . ” Chloe lets them know about the FBI warrants , and insist “ lease ’s go ! ” But with the FBI after them , and Delavane sustain to be in cahoots with Big Evil Pharma , where can they go ?
Chloe gives them a wreck course in Fugitive 101 : only use burner phones , only give for stuff in hard cash , do n’t contact family or friends . But Jackson points out that they ca n’t hide from these new developments forever , because dammit , “ We ’ve get to economise our own tush , and we ’ve get to save the world ! ”
At Casa Clementine , Henry the frankfurter has get the all - clear from the veterinary after being stumble by a car . But all is not well in the rest period of the animal world ; the birds out front are behave mighty screechy and Hitchcock - y. OOH FORESHADOWING !
As Abraham and Mitch prepare to deliver the medicine to Clem , Jamie contacts a journalist friend , arranging a encounter in the hopes that he ’ll aid blow the hat off Reiden . Delavane , who we ascertain is Reiden ’s head of global security measure , is mad as hell that he was n’t in the loop about the Mother Cell . Evil Reiden Guy Who Mitch Was render to pressure spits back : “ The point is that the team that was put together to protect us now possesses the very thing that can ruin us ! ” Seething , Delavane manoeuver home to his sign of the zodiac , where he finds unexpected visitors : Chloe and Jackson .
He chuckles when they demand that he come sportsmanlike about Reiden ’s intimacy in the world-wide animal attacks . Yeahhhhh … that ’s not gon na happen . Imagine the case ! Jackson point out that the company is in a great position to help fix the crisis that its Mother Cell caused . That might serve ease some of the close at hand Porto Rico disaster , too , once the earthly concern learn who ’s behind all the attacks . But Delavane has his own “ solution : ” if they hand over the Mother Cell , he ’ll see what he can do about the team not receiving lengthy prison prison term . Uh - uh . Again , not gon na happen . Chloe and Jackson frill out , but a hint of a worried look crosses Delavane ’s grimace . Will he crack and leave the dark side ?
While we think over this , Chloe and Jackson meet Jamie to strategize before meeting with her newspaper buddy . Jackson , ever - focussed on the core of the mission , ponders where they can get hold that Patient Zero animal they ’ll require to find a cure . It will have to come from a part of the Earth where Reiden product are n’t used , and there are n’t too many of those ( it is Reiden Global , after all ) .
While they doodle on a single-valued function ( which Chloe pay $ 100 for , after Jackson rip it off a bar wall ) to triangulate possibilities — and Jackson gives Chloe , who ’s starting to palpate like all the non - fleshly danger is her shift , a much - needed pep talk — the FBI finds Jamie ’s discarded cell phone . Fun fact : a baseball game hat and sunglasses are n’t enough disguise to slang the government ’s facial - recognition software program . Next prison term , try out a ski mask . Or a rubber goofball mask . Jamie ’s still able to take on with her colleague to skin out some key facts of the chronicle , the supreme importance of which is underscore when the FBI crashes the meet - up . Threats are change , and a pocket-sized accelerator pedal fight ensues .
And then … Zoo reminds us what this show is really all about :
Yup , that ’s a passion - filled murmuration , diving - bombing a woman with a sister carriage as Clem and her mother cower beneath a playing period structure and observe in revulsion . Mitch and Abraham , nearby on their music - delivering jaunt , rush to help , and arriving with fire - department hose just in time to bring through everyone ( uh , except that lady above … she ’s pledge ) from feathery ruin .
Oh yeah . And remember how the media was lead to bring through everyone ’s American Samoa ? Reiden ’s legal section cast a fleet stop to that . Or do they ? As the squad watches the TV intelligence , they realize the fatal bird flack are the top tale . The animals are mother more aggressive ! But then , so is law enforcement , as a hard armed SWAT squad rolls up to Clementine ’s menage … juuuust as the squad is image out their “ needle ” is in all probability locate in Zambia , where Panthera pardus attacks are frequent but Reiden chemical are never used . Fortunately , Zoo ’s editor program are surreptitious , and the big guns bust in after everyone ’s already leave .
As the race to Zambia set about , Jackson and co. notice that the weird razz “ language ” they ’ve been comment around town sounds the same from every species . Could the Bronx cheer be communicating ? At Reiden , the adult boss tells Delavane the squad wo n’t hold up long enough to carry out their little save - the - world plan . Oooh , he high-risk .
Three episodes to go . What animal will go cuckoo next week ? I ’m still accommodate out Leslie Townes Hope for sanguinary zebra !
