- Tom uncovers confidential intelligence about the heart of the alien operation. Meanwhile, Charleston prepares to mount an offensive against the Espheni, but a massive explosion brings the operation to a halt.
- Weaver discusses with Marina the need to destroy the Espheni grid using the Volm's weapon. Out of the blue, Tom arrives in a sailing boat and meets his sons and friends and tells that Anne and Alexia are gone. Tom tells to Weaver and Porter that the tower in Boston needs to be destroyed to destroy the grid, but they do not believe him, afraid that he might have an implant. He meets Pope and asks him to kill him if he does something bad and out of the blue, there is an explosion in the bunker where the Volm's weapon is, killing the Volm and leaving Conchise wounded. Lourdes hides an alien bomb to destroy the compound but she is not allowed to leave the facility. When the bomb blows-up, a great number of the 2nd Mass is trapped in the underground below ruins, beams and stones and Tom finds the mole.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Project Orange using the Volm weapon gets underway tomorrow morning at dawn, but Weaver won't tell Marina Peralta what their target is.
If they don't knock out the Espheni grid, humans will be wiped out in three months, so they have to trust the Volm weapon will work.
Lyle notices something odd in the nearby river: a sailboat. Tom Mason has returned.
Weaver and his sons welcome him back. Tom has to break the news to his sons that Anne and Lexi didn't make it. He tells them to take the pain they're feeling and use it against Karen.
Tom goes to discuss strategy with Weaver, he suggests making Karen's Boston base a target, even though it was never under consideration. Porter likes the idea.
Tom says the Espheni are low on fuel for their mechs since the resistance took out the reactor, most of them are just standing around dead. Weaver worries Karen put a bug in Tom. Tom tells him to keep his eye on him and put a bullet in him if he gets suspicious. Porter needs to think it over.
Tom says hello again to Cochise, who offers his sympathies about Anne and Lexi.
Tom pays Pope a visit. Pope expects that Tom has a bug in him and promises to take him out if so; Tom is reassured that Pope wouldn't hesitate. As they're talking, they're suddenly knocked off their feet by a giant blast.
As the dust settles, Pope and Tom go investigate and find the whole Volm complex is gone. They find Cochise in the wreckage and take him to Lourdes. She tries to make an excuse for not treating him right away, but Tom yells at her and she joins them, but can't help Cochise because she doesn't know anything about Volm physiology.
Tom comforts Cochise as he tells Tom not to give up hope. He tells Tom if he's left alone, he'll regenerate. He seems to twitch dead, but is still breathing.
Lourdes checks her watch and disappears to set an Espheni charge in the air ducts. Weaver sees her walking away but thinks nothing of it.
Hal and Maggie go to the armory to restock.
The Espheni charge grows in the ducts, collapsing the cement walls around Hal and Maggie and everyone down below.
The explosion also collapsed the walls around Tom and Marina, who try to dig themselves out.
Ben uses his harness senses to help locate people in the rubble. Weaver leads the effort to dig people out and Pope helps.
Matt suggests they go through the storm drains to get to people.
Down below, Marina worries they lost hundreds of people. Tom sees Lourdes under rubble. He digs her out, but she's unconscious. He takes her to the infirmary.
Porter explains all the main exits are blocked with rubble. Tom and Anthony volunteer to go investigate elevator shafts. Another doctor diagnoses Lourdes with a concussion and wheels her to the side to recuperate. She's next to Cochise and alone.
Tom and Anthony reach a caved in dead end. They hear noises in an air vent and prepare to lob a grenade. But it's Dr. Kadar.
As Hal tries to figure a way out, Maggie uses the moment to pout about being left behind when they went in search of Anne.
Dr. Kadar looks at blueprints and figures out where to blast to get free.
Tom hears Lourdes trying to get out of bed and checks on her. She worries the mole was responsible then says she feels like Anne's death was her fault. She lays it on thick, making Tom feel worse, noting how sad it is that Anne died back where she started.
He leaves her alone with Cochise. She takes out a scalpel.
In the armory, Hal gets morose, thinking it's the end. Maggie tells him there's no one else she'd rather go out with if it's her time.
Kadar lays his first charge, but notices a giant crack in the ceiling beam. If it's load bearing, their charge could just lead to further collapse.
"Oh no, we're just right back where we started," Anthony says. Something about that statement strikes Tom.
Tom goes to get Lourdes, who manages to hide the scalpel she was about to use on Cochise. He tells her Anthony needs help, but when he brings her to him, he pulls a gun on her.
Tom remembers the med pack she sent with him to see the President and thinks it had a tracker in it. Tom mentions Lourdes' comment about Anne dying in Boston, back where she started -- he never told her where Anne died. He demands to know why she wasn't in the infirmary when the charge went off.
She pleads her innocence, but he doesn't believe it. Finally, she draws her Espheni gun, but he disarms her before she can fire.
Matt and Ben look for a way down through the storm drain. Matt is feeling pessimistic, wondering if his family dying might be better for them.
In the armory, Hal and Maggie are getting low on air and are nearly unconscious. Maggie starts banging on a pipe. Matt and Ben hear the clanging and run for help. Maggie pries the pipe open and gets them fresh air.
They have Lourdes strapped down in the infirmary, but she wakes up and starts ranting about Tom's mistakes causing many people's deaths. Tom takes her Espheni weapon and walks off.
He fires at Kadar's charge, ignoring the perilous cracked beam.
It works, and the people trapped underground are free. Anthony tells everyone that Lourdes was the mole.
Hal apologizes to Maggie for not taking her on the search party, and promises they'll take on Karen as a team.
Tom checks in with Cochise, who is fully healed. Some of his people are trapped in the collapsed Volm headquarters, but he doesn't think he can get them out. Tom suggests Kadar likes a challenge. "First we bury or dead, then we start digging like there's no tomorrow," Tom says.
