Grace wakes up in what appears to be a dream-like state with a case of amnesia. Seeing what's become of her friends after she has been gone for years, Grace struggles to put the pieces of the past together on what has transpired since she has been gone.
Grace finds herself in the future, sixteen years from now. She discovers she has died giving birth to her daughter Athena, but all her friends have prospered. Traveling with Athena, Grace notices glitches in the world surrounding her and realises she is dreaming. In the real world, Grace is knocked out from an explosion engineered by Riley and the Believers.
Her dream paralleling the real world, Grace makes her way through dreamland, bonding with her daughter as she evades Riley's forces. She starts believing the dream is prophetic: she must wake up to give birth to Athena, before dying herself.
In the real world, Morgan takes refuge with Grace in a stables. Morgan kills Riley's men, forcing Riley to retreat. As Grace's heart stops and Morgan tries to revive her, in the dream, Grace says goodbye to Athena and Morgan, and walks into the light. This resuscitates Grace in the real world.
Riley returns and demands at gunpoint the key Morgan took from Emile. Grace tells Morgan to give it up, convinced by her dream that it won't matter because her daughter will bridge a better future for everyone. Grace gives birth to Athena, but Grace and Morgan are devastated to find Athena stillborn. Grace realises she had been dreaming her daughter's dream the whole time.
