Pat runs to the lab where Tai is working, and as Pat escapes, Tai tries to stop Judith. She attacks him and he kills her in self defence. Tai releases Wan and tells her what has happened, and they rid themselves of a possible murder charge by teleporting Judith's body. But now, Tai and Wan have had enough and leave the Quebec estate.
