===='''2: Panacea Stays'''====
If the constant conflicts causes Panacea to break down, she is convinced to stay in the city and start using her powers by Tattletale. The Undersiders then begin hitting back harder and with new tools given by Panacea, and become the main focus in the city. Coil dislikes how they aren't doing what he needs them to do, suspects they want to rescue Dinah, and plans let the Heroes keep beating the Undersiders down before choosing a moment when they weak to deal with them once and for all. The Undersiders can only survive if they have been modified by Panacea to be stronger and fitter along with some background processes. Tattletale has the full-time job of dealing with Panacea. Grue doesn't take well to the physical alterations and leaves, with Imp following not far behind. Trying to survive against everyone, the Undersiders become the chaotic element they were initially set-up to oppose.

The Guild has Brockton Bay condemned, having walls erected, everyone evacuated, and power and water shut off. Coil releases Noelle on Brockton as a final act before leaving to begin anew elsewhere, and regardless of whether the other Undersiders also leave or stay, Taylor stubbornly tries to build something of the mess while everything crumbles around her. Panacea feels that the Undersiders lied to her about giving her the support she needed, which she takes as proof she was right after all about 'Bad is bad, and nothing is redeemable'. In the ensuring breakdown, she commits several atrocities on the level of her turning Victoria's body into the [[The Wretch]] in the canon timeline, including doing it against several Undersiders. Although Taylor tries to reason with her, Panacea is only stopped by Jack Slash, who convinces her to join him as Bonesaw's replacement and plans to access the Birdcage and unlock the full potential of everyone within, which a broken Panacea agrees to and provides the resources needed.

Grue, who has since joined the Protectorate, returns with Golem and joins Skitter in fighting back. Although Panacea will listen to Golem, it is not enough and very much too late.<ref name="PU">[https://redd.it/6nurxq Speculation by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>
