Rusty Venture is in Tijuana, Mexico as a guest lecturer[[note]] giving a presentation to prove that Chupacabras do not exist[[/note]] at the university along with the boys and Brock. While there, Rusty intends to get some questionable prescriptions by bribing a Mexican doctor as the boys and Brock enjoy some of the Mexican culture. (Sombreros and fireworks for the former, hookers and gambling for latter.)

Rusty meanwhile wakes up from a nightmare, [[{{Foreshadowing}} where another embryo is annoying him in the womb,]] in a bathtub full of ice with his last kidney removed.

After refitting H.E.L.P.eR to act as a dialysis machine, he sets off to find Brock. Instead, he finds only a shallow grave with Brock's knife as the marker.
