At the oasis, Tam Lin explains how Matt was cloned and reveals that eejits are people whose brain implants have removed their free will.
Later, Matt becomes frustrated with Teacher’s repetitive lessons, and his angry outburst restores his ability to speak.
As they continue, Tam Lin explains that their Safe Horse has an implant that forces it to follow commands, even when doing so could harm it.

Read through each option.
After Matt tells Celia what happened in the hospital, she explains that the law requires clones to receive an injection that destroys their intelligence, but El Patrón prevented this from happening to Matt.
After María reveals Tom’s role in the hospital incident, El Patrón banishes Tom to a year-round boarding school before leaving the estate with Tam Lin.
Hoping to speak with María, Matt hides Furball near the lotus pond, but the dog is later found dead and the evidence causes everyone to blame Matt.
Finally, Celia tells Matt that the Farm Patrol captured her group at the border, turned the other migrants into eejits, and placed her under El Patrón’s control.
Following the party, Tom and Felicia separately lure María and Matt to the hospital, where the children discover MacGregor’s suffering clone.
