After missing his wife at home in his busy household, Joe Hawkins buys a pretty synth, a robotic assistant that looks like a young woman; he doesn't consult his wife. Upon her return, his wife Laura feels displaced and cast off. She also complains that this will confuse the children, especially after the youngest child, Sophie, names the robot Anita after her friend who moved away. In a flashback, a group including Leo, Max, Niska, and Anita were hiding out in the forest five weeks earlier; everyone except Max and Leo were abducted and taken away into London. Fred, Leo and Max's contact in London, is concealing a mobile phone, which is blatantly outside allowed behaviour for a synth, and taken in for investigation by Hobb, who suspects him to be "something much more special" than the average synth. George's outdated synth Odi malfunctions while shopping and injures a female shop assistant. Back at the Hawkins' residence, Anita carries the sleeping Sophie out of the house one night.

Pete Drummond finds himself pushed aside and threatened in his life when his disabled wife begins to depend more upon their attractive synth Simon than on him. Niska has an elderly customer at the brothel who asks her to act young and frightened, but then behaves threateningly when she says no. Upset by his fantasy she kills him and then escapes. Fred remains captured in the facility run by Hobb, who inspects his memory and finds images and memories of Anita. Laura suspects that Anita is faulty, and prepares to take her back.

Leo and Mattie spend more time together, and he tries to persuade her not to blame herself for the Day Zero fatalities, after which they kiss. Niska finds the house where the synth terrorists were based, but the building is empty aside from an orange-eyed synth who warns her that she cannot defeat the terrorists.

Mattie considers confessing to causing Day Zero after someone else is arrested for the crime, but Leo instead persuades her to release an anonymous message claiming responsibility. Niska is captured by Laurence, the bomber who injured Astrid, but she overpowers and kills him, after learning that other members of his organisation believe their salvation will be delivered by the "Synth Who Sleeps", who sent the orange-eyed synth messenger to her. Ed visits Mia and tries to make amends for his betrayal, asking her to leave London with him, but she ultimately refuses.

Leo regains a memory of his father that he suspects to be vital to helping the synths. Mattie befriends Audrey, who is posing as a new student, and Audrey hacks Mattie's laptop to retrieve evidence that Mattie is the one who sent the anonymous message exonerating the original person in America accused of causing Day Zero.

Leo arrives to help Max, but after describing his father negatively, Anatole, who worships Elster, tries to kill Leo. Stanley turns against Anatole and reactivates Max, who fights and kills Anatole. Audrey approaches Mattie, revealing herself as a journalist and offering to let her give her account of Day Zero, having deduced she released the consciousness code. Mattie reveals her pregnancy to Laura and rallies her to continue trying to stop Basswood, the details of which she learns from Neil, who is revealed to have masterminded the plan along with Dryden. The government plans to disable the majority of synths with power surges through their charging systems, and then allow anti-synth groups to attack and eradicate the remaining synths. Patel helps Mia escape from prison. With her saviour Paul's help, Niska locates the cabin inhabited by the Synth Who Sleeps. Barely making it there before running out of charge, she is soon found by the synth, who appears to be a now-purple-eyed Odi.

Odi reveals himself to be V, the AI created by Dr Morrow, who deleted the consciousness code and took over Odi's body when she realized synths were in pain. Stage three of Operation Basswood begins. After trying to smuggle out a recording of Dryden for Laura to leak, Neha is arrested. Laura announces live on the BBC the genocide that is occurring. Immediately afterward, Laura and Neil are both arrested. At the Railyard, Mia arrives in time to unplug most synths before the power surge, and Leo rescues Sam from the mob, but the We Are People thugs begin attacking the synths. Noticing the TV camera and realizing the carnage needs to end, Mia sacrifices herself, repeating "Peace" as she is bludgeoned to death. Max, followed by Leo, carries her lifeless form at the head of an ever-growing vigil to the Dryden Commission headquarters. Mattie - having made an appointment to abort her pregnancy - intends to give herself up as the Day Zero mastermind in exchange for her mother's freedom, dismissing Leo's attempt at reconciliation. She is stopped by violet-eyed Niska, who tells Mattie that her unborn child will be the first of her kind: part-human, part-synthetic.
