The War Rig's next stop is to Gastown and a disheveled Mr Davidson leads them inside. As they enter, a riot breaks out and when they arrive the War Rig War Boys quickly start transferring the Mother's Milk. Dementus drives through the crowd and tells them that he is going to make everything right. He then demands a meeting of the warlords at high noon at the Citadel in three days. The riot starts to intensify and Dementus tells Jack he better leave. After Jack tells Dementus he is not leaving without his tanker full of gas, explosions break out and the crowd including Gastown Rioter start pushing their way towards the War Rig.

He then tells Valiant Lancer that he has been promoted to rear defense and Furiosa is to drive the pursuit vehicle. Hazz The Valiant is then made the new driver of the War Rig. They drive through the front gates of The Bullet Farm, but this time there is no one chanting Immortan Joe's name or even a crowd. Jack sees one of Dementus' Dogs carrying a human foot in its mouth and realizes it is a trap. Hazz The Valiant is almost immediately shot dead along with all of the other War Boys including the ones in the other pursuit vehicle.
