Derek meets up with Irony, Gabriel Bishop and Claude and asks them to help him control his powers. After a run-in with the Company, Irony and Gabriel get around to training Derek, but accidentally cause him to release electricity uncontrollably. Eventually, Irony knocks Derek out to keep him from doing more damage.

When the team's van explodes during their surveillance mission, Derek is saved by Abigail's force field, but is subsequently arrested. However, Irony knocks out an officer, and Gabriel teleports Derek and Irony out of the precinct. After a visit from Pinehearst, Derek questions Claude and Gabriel and demands them to explain their past.

After listening to Claude and Gabriel's stories, Derek is introduced to Dave, and Derek, Dave, and Irony head to break Abigail out of prison. However, during the breakout, they run into a troublesome evolved human who impedes their efforts. With Dave's help, they manage to subdue the enemy and rescue Abigail.

Later, along with the rest of the team, Derek meets Jenny, and Officer Bonkin inform them of a new threat, Jack the Ripper. At Whitechapel, Derek and the team battles Jack the Ripper. When Jack returns at St. Grays Hospital, Derek and the others finally defeat Jack.
