After getting the Compound V and bringing it to his wife, Sun-Hee recovers and is able to escape with John thanks to glowing tentacle powers emitting from her cancer. As they run away, Sun-Hee suddenly does not feel well and her cancer leaves her body in the forest where it consumes wildlife and grows.
Vought agents come to destroy it, but the cancer consumes them as well. John wants to run away but Sun-Hee insists that they must fix what has happened.
