Unknown to the adult Zeke, his two other selves actually encountered the same problem. While they went and gathered intel, they were also injected with the same serum and, for some reason, this caused all of them to merge into one again.
Hence, his whole appearance went back to being Keith's. But that didn't help for anything. He was still in the presence of two strong enemies. Zeke thought how he could actually take them down but, he first needed to act. He needed to show Glade how weak he was.
"NOOO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Zeke began, putting up an act perfectly. He let tears and snot both run down his nose. It was disgusting of course but he needed to show that he was incapable of anything.
