Brundle reveals his plan to Veronica to use the original two telepods to merge the two of them and their unborn child together in a third telepod that will act as a receiving pod. Veronica resisted him, and accidentally removed Brundle's jaw in the scuffle, prompting Brundle's final mutation, causing Brundle's rotting flesh to shed and reveal the gruesome man-housefly hybrid monster that had been growing inside of him. Brundlefly trapped Veronica inside telepod 1 and stepped inside telepod 2 to initiate the merge. Stathis, still conscious, severs the cables to telepod 1 with a shotgun to allow Veronica to escape safely. Brundlefly attempted to break out of the second telepod, but was too late, and becomes a monstrous combination of the hybrid and the metal of the telepods. As the Brundlefly-telepod hybrid exited the receiving pod, Brundle moved the shotgun Veronica was holding to his head, pleading for her to put him out of his misery. Veronica hesitated at first, but mercifully pulled the trigger, killing Brundle and leaving Veronica devastated.
