Bio Gel can be used to create artificial human organs, though such creation is highly regulated. Allys mentions a product called Bio Gel, and Jenna realizes that her father’s company invented the product.

On their way back from the mission, Ethan and Jenna pick up Allys at her volunteer project, which is at a hospital. Jenna is assigned to work on a volunteer project with Ethan, and finds herself growing attracted to him. Ethan warns her to stay away from Dane, while Dane warns her to stay away from Ethan. Allys, an amputee with prosthetic arms and legs, quickly decides she likes Jenna. Though she worries about fitting in, Ethan and another classmate, Allys, quickly take Jenna under their wing. When Jenna arrives for her first day at school, she discovers that both Dane and the black-haired boy from the mission, Ethan, are students there as well.
