- The two-year anniversary of the alien invasion is fast approaching as the people of Charleston prepare for another potentially devastating offensive. A sniper attack by an unlikely gunman creates questions and doubts within the new government.—Anonymous
- Matt is supplying provisions to the sentinels in the perimeter of Charleston. Hal is walking without crutches in the physiotherapy. Out of the blue, Crazy Lee is hit by a sniper and Pope sees that a bar has perforated her head when she fell down on the construction debris. Tom and Weaver find that the shooters are human and they capture the sniper that is unconscious. Anne takes a blood sample from Alexis and startles when she speaks and stands up in the cradle. She tells the secret to Lourdes that tells Tom that Anne has postpartum depression. Tom has a conversation with Anne and she tells she believes their daughter is not human, but he does not believe her. Hal wants to leave Charleston believing he is the mole, but Maggie stops him. When the sniper awakes, they learn their mission.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Matt totes a rifle through outposts around Charleston, resupplying soldiers on guard for the expected Espheni attack. Anthony mans one, Ben another and Pope and his Berserkers another. Matt brings food and coffee to Pope and Crazy Lee. From afar, as they're distracted, someone takes aim at Crazy Lee.
Back at base, Tom watches Hal do his physical therapy. He's walking again, with crutches.
Tom checks on Jeanne's efforts to construct a Liberty Tree in the town square, as a symbol.
Crazy Lee goes to another pile of rubble to go to the bathroom. Pope makes her put on a bullet proof vest made of car tires before she goes. Shots ring out. Pope goes to check on her and thinks the vest has saved her, but then he sees that she fell on a piece of rebar and it's skewered in the back of her head. She can't see. He sends Matt for a hacksaw.
Tom and Weaver hear reports of gunfire and head out to investigate. There's lots of firing, but they can't see who's doing the shooting. Weaver hits a shooter and goes to investigate: it's a man, not an alien.
Pope is about to saw at the rebar through Crazy Lee's head when notices how deep it is. It goes all the way through her head and comes out the top.
Back at the base, Anne goes to draw blood from her daughter Alexis and thinks she hears the infant say "don't". When he looks at the blood, she turns back around and sees her weeks old daughter standing in her crib. Anne freaks out and tells Lourdes it's not normal, but Anne's the only one who's seen it.
Amid the shooting, Weaver aims an AT-4 at the shooter and President Mason says he wants to talk. When the man fires, Weaver blasts him. Except that it turns out to be a woman.
Crazy Lee is alive, but still impaled. Pope gently saws at the rebar as Matt hold's Crazy Lee's head. Eventually, she tries to tell him to stop, but Matt doesn't want to give up.
Back at base, Lourdes goes to Tom and tells her she's worried about Anne and thinks she might have post partum depression or psychosis. Lourdes ran tests on Alexis when she was born and they were all normal.
Maggie comes back to her room and sees Hal packing up to leave. He tells her Karen implanted something in him and he's been going to see her. He's worried he's the mole. Maggie assures him he's not and vows to stand by him.
Tom goes to see Anne and apologizes for being neglectful. "You have no idea what you're talking about, Tom....I don't think she's human," Anne says of their daughter.
Back at base, in the hospital, Loudres explains Crazy Lee's injury to Pope. The rebar is the only thing keeping her alive.
Later, Tom changes his daughter's diaper, marveling at her. She seems like a normal 3 week old. Anne insists she's not crazy.
In jail, Weaver and Bressler talk to the woman who was firing on them. She'll only say her name, Katherine Fisher, and her rank and serial number.
Tom joins them and offers to guess what happened: they watched Charleston for a few days and saw them working with the Espheni, harnessed kids and a new race of aliens and thought they were human collaborators. He explains that the Espheni are rebels and the Volm are helping them.
When she's told Tom is the president, she says she works for the real President, Benjamin Hathaway. He sent her there.
Later, Bressler, Weaver and Tom try to figure out what the rest of people are going to tell the President about them. They worry about how to prep for an Espheni attack and deal with whatever the President is going to think.
Lourdes goes to check on Anne, who is worried about keeping it together. Anne is ready to accept her help until she realizes that Tom sent her.
Weaver visits Jeanne by the Liberty Tree, which welders are still working on. Jeanne is worried about the threats they're facing and he reassures her.
Tom visits Crazy Lee in the hospital to comfort Matt and thank her. Pope stops him and gives him grief for the lack of information he's giving them. He blames Tom for what happened to Crazy Lee. Tom doesn't argue.
Pope sits by Crazy Lee's bedside and talks to her. She asks him to take her to Disneyland. But he can't go, he got in a fight with Goofy and is banned for life. She passes away. Pope takes her necklace and gives it to Matt.
Back with Hal, Maggie tries to jog his memory to see if he really is the mole. She says he isn't responsible if Karen is controlling him somehow. She tries to convince him not to turn himself in, worried about the repercussions.
Marina tries to help Tom compile a list of VP candidates, but he skips ahead and picks her.
Tom addresses the crowd at the dedication of the Liberty Tree, promising to inscribe the names of the dead on leaves of the tree. He tells people to remember what they're fighting for. He hangs his wife's name on the tree. Pope watches the ceremony with a bottle.
Hal is walking over to talk to his dad when there's a giant explosion on the horizon and alien ships race overhead. Anne holds her daughter Alexis, who smiles at the chaos.
