- Tom, Hal and Weaver make their way to the rendezvous point with Cochise. Weaver thinks he sees something, but dismisses it.
They meet with Cochise and his second in command, Shaq. Cochise tells Tom they found Matt at a children's camp. Weaver signals for the 71 survivors to follow him.
At the re-education center. Ken visits Matt in lock-up and spews his propaganda about the Espheni, then asks for the names of the people who were going to escape with Matt.
At the rendezvous, Cochise tells Tom about their drones, a fraction of the size of a house fly, that helped them find the re-education camp.
Tom leaves Hal in charge and leaves with Weaver and Cochise to go find Matt. As they walk, something follows their progress. Again, Weaver thinks he hears it. He takes out a knife and goes stalking. Cochise thinks he's being erratic.
Whatever it is hides from the, its heart pounding.
In Chinatown, Lexi tries to explain things to her mom, saying a path has been set for her. They're interrupted by an angry Anthony, being followed by Lourdes yelling about his gun. Anne asks him to set up camp outside the perimeter.
Hal talks to the people who used to live in the area to find out where they can scavenge. One suggestion is farther than he wants to go, and he remembers Tom telling him not to leave the area. Pope taunts him for needing daddy's permission and the next thing he knows, Pope is speeding off in a truck.
Cochise, Weaver, and Tom scope out the re-education camp. The thing stalking them crouches nearby.
Suddenly, it springs out and attacks Cochise. It's the size of a person but moves like an animal. They scare it off, but Cochise is wounded. He goes into a regenerative state -- he passes out to heal. Weaver confesses to Tom that he thinks he saw the thing, which bleeds black, when they were leaving the concentration camp, but he thought he might be imagining it.
Dingaan plays Hal a message he found on the radio about a "place of peace." Hal recognizes Lourdes' voice. Tector joins them and says the Volm have recon from their drones that says the Espheni will be at their location within 24 hours.
Pope pulls up to farm and finds dozens of cans of gas in the garage. He's preparing to take some when someone blasts at his truck.
A woman warns him off her gas and threatens him. They go back and forth until she invites him at gunpoint to have a beer.
Inside, she wants to know where he came from. She used to be a graphic designer, but hated her job, She says the apocalypse is the best thing that ever happened to her, now she lives each moment and takes what she wants when she wants it. She informs Pope she's taking his truck. She spiked his beer and he quickly passes out.
Later outside Chinatown, Anne tries to process her now grown daughter. Ben and Maggie tell her about Lexi's deal with the Epheni. Anne is ready to hunt the Espheni down when Ben preaches caution and suggests they try to learn about Lexi instead.
Pope wakes up tried to a chair. The woman is packing up to leave when they see mech's searchlights outside. Pope very quickly explains that he knows how to kill them, but she'll have to let him go. "I'm Sarah, by the way," she says.
At night, Tom and Weaver sneak into the re-education camp dorm. Tom wakes up a kid to ask about Matt, promising he'll get them out. Instead, the kid blows his alert whistle.
Pope leads Sarah to the truck and they speed off through mech fire.
Tom and Weaver regroup in the hall and run into Mira, who leads Tom downstairs.
Weaver looks around the hall and sees black blood on the ground. Suddenly, the creature grabs him.
Ken finds Matt in his cell and asks him about the intruders calling his name. When Matt fights back, Ken starts to choke him. Tom finds him just in time and pulls Ken off. Matt stops Tom from beating him to a pulp.
Later outside, Mira creates a distraction blowing her whistle and running the other direction so Tom and Matt can escape.
Weaver comes to and sees the creature staring him down. He thinks he hears his daughter Jeannie's voice, but she pounces, then flies off him to attack an Espheni. When the skitter gets the better of her, Weaver stabs it.
Weaver looks at the creature -- it is his daughter Jeannie. He cradles her.
On the road, Sarah stops the truck and tells Pope to get out. He reveals he took the shells out of her shotgun, so he takes the keys and tells her to get out. She asks if he's really going to leave her to be attacked.
"Don't tempt me," he says. "What do you think I've been doing this whole time?" she asks coyly. He lets her back in the truck.
Back at the rendezvous, Hal tells the camp survivors they have to move out in the morning.
Pope and Sarah pull up. When Hal yells at Pope for leaving, Sarah yells back, asking who put Hal in charge. Hal uses a gentler approach for Pope, saying he appreciates what he did, just not how he did it. Then he tells them about all the mechs nearby and that they have to leave.
Back at Chinatown, Anne, Maggie and Ben follow Lexi to her meeting with the Espheni. Anne tells Lexi she thinks they are using her. She wants to talk to the Espheni, but Lexi thinks Anne will hurt it.
The Espheni arrives and uses Ben's spikes to talk through him, saying he believes they might be able to live together in peace. When it calls Anne "mother," she recognizes it from the ship as the one who experimented on her. Anne yells at Anthony in the shadows to restrain the alien, but Lexi gets angry at Anne for lying.
She uses her powers to rip the guns out of everyone's hands, but the Espheni urges her not to give in to violence. When Lexi calms down, the Espheni breaks contact with Ben and Ben announces he could tell it was lying.
At the rendezvous, Hal spray paints something his history professor father will understand, but aliens won't: Croatoan, the only word that remained when the colony at Roanoke disappeared, that will signal abandon camp.
Shaq and the Volm head out with Hal and the 2nd Mass toward Lourdes' coordinates on the broadcast.
Outside the re-education camp, Cochise has healed. Weaver stumbles to the meeting point with Tom, telling him about Jeannie and that she saved his life before she died.
Weaver says the Espheni plan to skitterize people is flawed because they can't control us.
Gemenus, the head Espheni, does the alien version of a teleconference with the Espheni meeting with Lexi. The Lexi alien informs him he has total control of her and she's more powerful than they thought. He taunts Gemenus about his skitterization experiment not going as planned.
The Lexi alien comes out of the teleconference and is tied up, with Lexi looking on adoringly nearby.
