After his battle with the alien renegade Ha'gel, William Boone's (Kevin Kilner) life hung precariously in the balance. Ha'gel was the last of the Kimera, a race that was a genetic predecessor to the Taelons. But before he was killed, Ha'gel fathered an offspring when he "joined" with the Taelon Security Implant Siobhan Beckett (Kari Matchett). Beckett was captured by the Liberation and while in their headquarters, she gave birth to a baby boy. She insisted that he be named Liam. Resistance members took the child from his mother and watched as he miraculously "morphed" into a full-grown adult in a matter of hours -- his first words were his insistence that his name was Liam.

The Resistance doctor, Melissa Park (Janet-Laine Green), reprogrammed Beckett's CVI-enhanced memory so that she had no recollection of the birth and her other experiences at Liberation headquarters. They released her back into the world to resume her duties protecting the Taelons.

Meanwhile, an alien probe that first killed, then took on the form of Resistance member Rayna (Sonia Dhillon), emerged from its hiding place within the Resistance. It barged into a space communications center and began sending a signal into deep space. Rayna then transformed completely back into the alien probe.

At the same time, Agent Ron Sandoval (Von Flores) broke the news to Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard) that William Boone died from the injuries he sustained while fighting Ha'gel. Da'an (Leni Parker) knew that, in reality, Zo'or (Anita La Selva) had Boone eliminated.

The Resistance had to face the threat of the alien probe without Boone, but Liam -- fully grown and possessing the memories of his ancestors -- stepped up to get the Resistance through this dark hour. At Boone's funeral, the probe appeared and assassinated the Taelon Synod leader Quo'on (Brooke Johnson), turning on Da'an as its next target. Liam rescued Da'an, who, in return, chose him as his personal protector. Da'an perceived that beneath Liam's human exterior, he had links to the Taelons. For this reason, Da'an permitted Liam to forgo a CVI implant, making Zo'or highly suspicious.

As Zo'or and Da'an struggled over who would replace Quo'on as leader of the Taelon Synod, Secretary of Taelon/Human relations, Joshua Doors (William De Vry), traveled to the Mother Ship to find out about any danger to humanity from Quo'on's assassin. The Taelons told him about the Jaridians, an alien race that was hunting the Taelons to destroy them -- and would destroy Earth when they arrived. However, both the President of the United States and the Taelon Synod refused to let Joshua Doors go public with the information, fearing panic in the streets. The Taelons and their security agents set a trap for the replicant, although unbeknownst to Liam and Da'an, Zo'or and Sandoval sabotaged the plan so that Da'an would be killed. The un-implanted protector, Liam, would take the blame.

The replicant continued its hunt for Taelons and found that Da'an was the only one still on the planet -- as bait. Liam was at Da'an's office waiting to destroy it. He soon discovered that Da'an's escape route had been blocked and they were left alone with insufficient means to stop the alien probe. When everything looked blackest, Liam reached deep within himself and found that his alien heritage had left him with an advantage.

Liam was able to turn the replicant's deadly force back on itself by redirecting its weapon blast with his Shaqarava, an ancient power primitive Taelons were able to emit from their palms. Da'an saw for certain that Liam was part alien, but he kept the knowledge to himself. Da'an needed all the allies he could find when it was announced that the Synod chose his arch enemy Zo'or as their new leader.
