EPISODE THREE: I SHOULD HAVE DIED THERE

When Riverside High goes up in flames, Elijah Smith runs toward the fire instead of away from it—and survives what should have killed him. Trapped beneath a collapsing ceiling, he unleashes something inside himself he can no longer deny.

The damage is impossible. The survival is worse.

As investigators close in and new scars appear on his skin, Elijah learns that every use of his power leaves a mark—and that others are watching, measuring how far he’s willing to go. Allies offer training. Strangers offer warnings.

None of them agree on the truth. Elijah should have died in the fire. Instead, he crossed a line he can’t uncross. And now the countdown has begun.
