- The 2nd Mass picks up the pieces after a devastating alien attack leaves Maggie fighting for her life... and Hal fighting for Maggie. Meanwhile, Tom and Dingaan are cut off from the rest of the group, buried under tons of rubble, where they must rely on an Enemy Ship to rescue them.—Anonymous
- After the showdown with the alien forces, the humans look for survivors under the debris. Hal finds Maggie, who is paralyzed below her neck, under a beam. Cochise teaches Anne how transfer Deni's fluid to Maggie to see if she recovers her movements. Hal lies to Anne telling that Maggie has authorized the procedure. Tom and Dingaan are in a small space under the concrete. Meanwhile, Lexi wearing the red hood shows Ben a warehouse with humans being harnessed. Ben escapes and return home. When he sees Maggie very weak on the operation table, he suggests Anne to remove a few spikes from him and implant in Maggie and Cochise lends a Volm equipment to her. Tom blows up the Espheni's spacecraft and releases Dingaan and him, reuniting with his family.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Everyone emerges from the fallout shelter after the Espheni attack to go looking for survivors, including Maggie and Tom.
Sara finds Pope about to smash in the skull of a wounded, trapped skitter and interrupts to kill it herself.
They start digging through rubble, figuring anyone trapped only has about 12 hours. Anne finds Tom's scarf.
Hal finds Maggie crushed under a beam inside a building and starts digging her out. She can't move her legs.
Meanwhile, beneath the rubble, Tom is alive and OK, but in a very small space. He hears someone barely able to talk, gasping for help. Tom crawls through the gaps in the rubble and finds Dingaan under a giant slab of concrete. Tom uses a piece of rebar to pry the slab up, ordering Dingaan to wiggle out. Tom is able to hold it up just long enough for him to get free.
Ben wakes up to see Lexi (in a red plush velvet evening gown). She tells him they're with the Espheni and a "peaceful solution has begun." She activates his spikes, telling him she wants to show him the future.
Annie directs as Maggie is carried, strapped down to a stretcher.
Weaver directs rescue efforts. Pope loudly announces there's no way Tom is alive, and gets tackled and punched by young Matt in return. Pope is contrite, saying he didn't know Matt was nearby.
Matt tries to figure out where his dad would have gone after taking the shot at the overlord. Weaver offers to help him dig.
In the rubble, Tom and Dingaan come upon the crashed beamer that Cochise shot down. Tom thinks if they can get in it, they can fly it out of the rubble. Dingaan freaks out from claustrophobia and bangs on the ship, but he also manages to find the hatch.
Hal anxiously waits by Maggie. Anne tells Hal that Maggie is paralyzed from the neck down and probably has internal bleeding and there's nothing she can do.
Hal suggests harness spikes, remembering how fast Deni healed. Anne agrees to ask the Volm.
Under the rubble, Tom chews out Dingaan for his unrelenting pessimism and tells him to keep it together.
Tom finds a squishy portal into the ship and sticks his arm in up to his armpit, manipulating tendons to try to get a door to open. Something bites him, and he yanks his hand out, but the door opens.
Lexi takes Ben to see a warehouse full of humans being skitterized and tells him it's the evolution of the species. He argues that it's genocide and she immobilizes him with her powers. He asks if she's going to kill him like she did Lourdes.
She asks Ben to come with her, but he tries to get away.
Lexi remembers her "father" Espheni telling her she would bring peace and tries to reconcile it with Ben's horror.
Back at rubble Chinatown, Cochise examines Deni's spikes and explains to Anne how a transfer of the fluid in them could work -- but that it also has huge risks to Deni and Maggie. Anne won't proceed without Maggie's permission.
Pope and Sara patrol the perimeter. She's having a hard time settling after the attack. They find Bennett's charred body, from where the overlord torched him. Pope looks for something to dig a grave.
In the rubble, Matt finds Tector's gun and notes it's been fired. He thinks he hears his dad.
Meanwhile, Tom crawls into the Espheni ship with Dingaan. Tom puts his hands on the walls and gets shocked -- a probe latches onto his arm and something digs in his skin. Then he passes out.
When Maggie wakes up, Hal tells her what's going on. She tells him she doesn't want anything alien in her and he has to let her go.
Hal tells Anne that Maggie wants to go ahead.
Anne withdraws the fluid from Deni and injects Maggie.
After covering up Bennett, Sara has settled down and tells Pope she thought they were both going to die last night. He kisses her.
On the Espheni ship, Dingaan uses his belt for a tourniquet to keep the probe from going further up Tom's arm. It's barbed on the inside and is excruciatingly painful when Dingaan pulls it out. They hear a beeping in the ship and Tom thinks they just pulled a pin on a grenade. Dingaan freaks out again.
Anne checks on Maggie and reports that her heart is very weak. Hal confesses Maggie didn't want the injection, but Anne understands. Then Ben returns. Anne wants to go after Lexi but he explains that she's gone over the Espheni side and is presiding over their genocide. She let him go, but he saw into her mind. "The Lexi we knew is gone," he tells Anne.
When Ben sees Maggie, he suggests Anne transplant his spikes into her. He doesn't care about the risk.
Tom drags Dingaan off the Espheni ship, planning to find somewhere to shield them from the blast.
Cochise lends Anne equipment and guides her through removing Ben's spike and putting it into Maggie.
Tom and Dingaan get away from the ship and Dingaan says they're suck because of karma. He tells Tom a story about his young son being buried alive in a pit he was digging for a swimming pool. His wife later drank herself to death out of grief. The Espheni ship beeping reminds him of the heart monitor in the ambulance. He thinks it's is fate that he be buried alive.
Anne has implanted three of Ben's spikes in Maggie but doesn't want to go further. Hal and Anne watch at unconscious Maggie and Ben twitch violently in unison.
Tom tells Dingaan not to lose hope. The Espheni ship counts down and exploded. The blast brings Weaver and Matt, and clears a path down to Dingaan and Tom.
After Tom is brought back up, he's reunited with Anne.
Ben wakes up and is back on his feet. Hal thanks him, but Ben says he didn't do it for Hal.
Later, everyone mourns the people they've lost, with boozy toasts. Sara says good-bye to the old her and tosses out all her pills. Anne and Tom talk about Lexi. She wants to go after her, but Tom isn't sure what they'd find and points out there are other people here who need them.
Hal sees Maggie walking over. She slaps him hard for betraying her -- then kisses him just as hard for saving her life. She hugs Ben when she hears what he did.
Tom and Hal see the Espheni ship glowing blue beneath the rubble. They look up and see something green glowing on or in front of the moon. They have no idea what it means.
