Plot
Five days after Geoff's death, Stan's group has made it to the desert like they had been planning, only to find out that Horsecock and his group had indeed been following them like he said they would. Stan and Cindy return to the rest of the group at a gas station where they've found a set of walkie-talkies and then walk along a road to try and get away from Horsecock's group, only to spot them again later that night tossing one of their own into a fire just for the laughs, where Stump once again spots Stan's group and screams out so Horsecock's group would follow them.

For the next two days, the group barely sleeps at all to try and get away from The Crossed once again and eventually cross a river until they're suddenly shot at by Horsecock's group once again and Patrick is accidentally swept away by the current, though the water isn't deep enough to drown in. Cindy tries to chase after Patrick, but the water is much too fast and Stan tells her they'll have to meet Patrick down by the riverbank, while firing back at The Crossed. Brett says that they should leave while they still can, abandoning Patrick in the process, until Horsecock suddenly announces over their radio that they have Patrick and claim they've raped and then killed him. However, Stan's group then spots Patrick down at the river bank still being chased and everyone kills four of Horsecock's group that were still chasing him. However, upon going to check on Patrick, she finds that he's been infected and is forced to kill her own son. Horsecock laughs at them over the radio.
