As the potential key to the treatment of the Sick aka the H5G9 Virus, it’s crucial for the remainder of the human race that Gus is ready to make it to Alaska and assist his mother, Birdie, to develop a treatment.
Will Dr. Singh try and kidnap Gus?
Dr. Singh grew to become so obsessed along with his work that it repulsed his spouse, Rani, who in the end left him in season 2, and destroyed his analysis.
Rather than looking for his spouse, Dr. Singh is pursuing Gus as a substitute, decided to proceed his analysis. There could come a possibility for Dr. Singh to strike when their guard is down, however probabilities shall be slim.
Alternatively, if Dr. Singh learns that Birdie is alive, he could throw is eggs into that basket, and attempt to proceed his analysis by serving to her discover a treatment. However, if Birdie is alive, the possibilities of letting a person assist her who induced such hurt to her son are extremely slim.

Is Birdie really alive?
The greatest query is whether or not or not Birdie is definitely alive.
Considering we’re but to see Birdie within the flesh, there’s nonetheless no assure that she is alive and properly. A tragic coincidence can be for Gus and the group to seek out the place’s speculated to be residing, solely to find she is lifeless or lacking.
What’s in Zhang’s cage?
It’s greater than probably that the creatures inside her cage are hybrids. In specific, hybrids which are part-predator.
As the collection has deviated from the comics, the creatures within the cage could possibly be ‘The Dog Boys’ a bunch of cannibalistic dog-hybrid youngsters who had been cruelly raised to be nothing greater than weapons.
If Zhang goes after Gus, then anticipate her to deliver her ravenous hybrid pets to hunt them down.
