Crake visits Jimmy as he was traumatized by his mother's death. Jimmy was spending his time in vain, lost in the memory of his long lost mother in the past. Crake takes him to pleebland, where is like the city in the world of Oryx and Crake. Crake introduces Jimmy to his life, career and asks if he wants to work with him in Paradice. Jimmy, drunk with the unfamiliar atmosphere and the drinks, accepts and moves into the bubble dome where Crake works with many brilliant specialists. Crake explains the Blyss Pluss pills and how he is going to bring regulated and standarized world with controlled population growth and selection of genetically engineered offspings for next generations. There, Jimmy meets the crakers and his love, Oryx, who is an assistant working under Crake.
The big twist comes as we figure that there were viruses in the pills he was giving out to different various categories of population. A massive plague starts with high death and infection rate and the whole world falls apart in corruption. Jimmy who is the only one with the antidote that Crake has secretly provided to him and is left in the bubble dome all on his own along with Crake's creation also known as the "Crakers". The climax of the novel seems to be this part of spreading plagues and it is very dramatic indeed as Atwood carefully crafted and built the plot for the final dynamic fall.
