Synopsis[]
The Four Horsemen are reunited and Cassandra has been taken prisoner. As MacLeod makes plans to rescue Cassandra and face Kronos, Methos tries desperately to manipulate all the players so that he and his friend can survive, and those he fears are defeated.
Kronos' plan is revealed: he intends to use an engineered virus to wipe out most of humanity and conquer the survivors as part of an eternal empire. Methos dramatically turns on his former comrades, he and MacLeod simultaneously battling Kronos and Silas to the death in their own respective fights, resulting in a double rare quickening.
Cassandra who still wanted to avenge herself upon the redeemed Methos, threatened him with Silas' axe, but Duncan demanded that she let him live. The centuries have truly changed Methos, and he had, in the end, helped to save humanity. MacLeod speculates Methos had indeed manipulated events with Kronos hoping MacLeod could do what he himself could not - take Kronos' head, Methos does not confirm or deny the charge.
