As Nyah approaches, Miss Farewell apologizes for shooting her with an arrow in the past and explains she was only blinded by rage while searching for her daughter Samantha. Miss Farewell shows Nyah the broken DNA scanning device that Nyah had destroyed earlier. Nyah aggressively takes the device and Miss Farewell leaves her be, leaving the library. Lone sees the device and decides to bring it to Arph and Skye, thinking it might be useful. In a private research room, Arph recognizes the device and reiterates that it identifies the species of whoever it's pointed at. Skye decides to fix the device, while Arph and Lone search for relevant books to help with their investigation. While Lone and Arph search for books, Skye uses her metallic tentacles to help fix the ancestry device. Lone inquires about Skye's augmentations, and she explains that she needed them after surviving a fire on her family's farm whilst growing up, stating she was flown to a hospital in Europe, where she was given experimental cyborg parts to replace the burn damage. The tentacles were a recent addition during her latest trip back to Europe. As Skye continues talking about the fire, Arph suggests she should stop as Nyah might be getting a little suspicious. When questioned how he would know that, Nyah is revealed to be right behind them. | As Nyah approaches, Miss Farewell apologizes for shooting her with an arrow in the past and explains she was only blinded by rage while searching for her daughter Samantha.

Nyah reaches for the device, but Skye pulls it away. As the group struggles, the device comes to life, showing the result as "Parasite consisting of bird and fish DNA in human host body. Destroy at all costs." Skye drops the device, breaking it again, and Nyah stops struggling. Arph asks Skye what's wrong, concerned about her reaction. Skye urges the group to leave Nyah behind and forget about her, fearing the fatal consequences of associating with her after discovering her true nature. Arph hesitates, torn between following Skye and comforting Nyah. Lone dismisses the idea that Nyah is a parasite, doubting the broken device's accuracy. Arph explains that the military had classified Nyah as an aquabirb due to her resemblance to the mythical creature of that name and the lack of the device to confirm her true identity. Lone shares information from an encyclopedia about aquabirbs and parasites. He suggests that even if Nyah is a parasite, they can still claim she's an aquabirb to avoid suspicion. Arph agrees with Lone's idea, but Skye remains cautious and warns that she'll leave if things get dangerous.

Skye apologizes to Nyah for causing her distress and invites her to join them in the activity. Nyah agrees and starts pulling tiles from the bag. The group is initially puzzled by the random presence of tiles displaying numbers instead of letters, but quickly spell the word "crow" with pulled letter tiles, concluding that it must be the bird species in Nyah's DNA. They get excited and continue to search for the fish species using this method. The group continues to decipher the Scr*bble tiles. They find the word "shark," which they believe represents the fish species in Nyah's DNA, given her sharp teeth. However, there are still more letters left, and Arph and Lone work together to rearrange them. They form a sentence not shown to the audience, but seems to suggest that Nyah is a hybrid of the two species, which makes her excited and amused. Skye, on the other hand, finds the idea disgusting and decides to leave the room. As she heads toward the library exit, she notices a librarian pushing a cart. She asks the librarian for a book on helping erase mental images from one's mind, but ultimately decides to knock herself out with it instead. Upstairs, Nyah, Lone, and Arph watch Skye as she knocks herself out with the book and fall to the floor. Arph comments, "I guess you could say ignorance is bliss!" This sets off laughter throughout the library, with people in various areas laughing at the situation, Lone, however, slowly stops laughing, as he realises he doesn't understand what's so funny, and looks around in confusion at the people around him who are continuing to laugh. The episode ends on him saying that he "doesn't get it". | Skye apologizes to Nyah for causing her distress and invites her to join them in the activity.
