Jackson Oz (James Wolk) and his team will find themselves on the run from the Zambian authorities in the upcoming episode of CBS' drama series "Zoo."
In "Emotional Contagion," TV Guide reports that entire team will be considered fugitives while in a mission in the South African country. Oz heads the group in gathering across the globe leopard DNA to manufacture a cure for the animals that are exhibiting strange behavior. However, the mission appears to be a bust as not long after, the authorities have tagged them as fugitives.
Left with no option but to run, they will be asking the help of an animal rights activist to get safe passage out of the country. But not everyone is going to leave Zambia in one piece, it seems, as one of the team will have to give way for the rest of the members to succeed in escaping.
Chloe (Nora Arnezeder) will apparently take it upon herself to become a martyr for this mission. The Frenchwoman will be making the "ultimate sacrifice" to avoid further bloodshed. Does this mean she will die?
There are only two options left for her, if ever she does decide to stay behind. Zambia would make her a prisoner or she would end up dying right then and there. Whichever option is highly unpalatable to the viewers, as Chloe have proven herself to be a valuable asset to the team.
And what about the rest of the group? Will Oz, Abraham (Nonso Anozie), Jamie (Kristen Connolly) and Mitch (Billy Burke) let their friend take the fall? Knowing them, they would not let Chloe be left behind.
Last episode, Mitch managed to double cross Reiden Global by getting his daughter's medication and keeping the Mother Cell. He also realized that Delavane (Carl Lumbly), who has been responsible for bringing the group together, was actually working for the biotechnology company.
Armed with the knowledge, Mitch told Oz and the others about the conspiracy. They then decided to start their own investigation based on his premise that they could reverse the Mother Cell's effects in animals. Using Leo Butler's (Jay Paulson) ledger, they now have to find one that has mutated but has not been affected by the cell.
"Zoo" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
