Volunteers storm a hideout and whisk Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen) away. Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) holds his own until Volunteer Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) jabs a weapon into his neck. As another Volunteer places Liam under arrest for conspiracy, Renee kills the Volunteer, rips off her fake implant and rescues Liam and Augur (Richard Chevolleau). As the trio dashes through the courtyard, Liam and Augur suddenly realize that Renee has vanished.

Meanwhile on the Mothership, Lili (Lisa Howard), fearing the others are dead, overloads the engines to destroy the ship. Lili is arrested as a traitor as Zo'or (Anita La Selva) performs a series of Taelon override commands to regenerate the Mothership.

Back at Augur's lair, Liam and Augur watch reports about the arrests of suspected Resistance members and the collapse of the Underground's entire network of cells. Fearing the woman who saved them is a double agent, Augur sets out to identify Renee. When a newscast announces the death of Lili Marquette in the Mothership explosion, Liam storms into the Taelon Embassy and confronts Da'an (Leni Parker) with accusations that Zo'or is planning to take total political control. Da'an dismisses these charges and Liam resolves to prove the attempted assassination was not executed by the Resistance. Liam arrives on the Mothership and demands to take Lili's body back to Earth for a proper burial, but Agent Sandoval (Von Flores) rejects his request. Liam says his last goodbye before Erika Vosser (Chandra West) ejects Lili's body into the unnerving silence of space.

Liam, determined to find the identity of the assassin, returns to the crime scene, slips one of the DNA samples into his pocket and leaves Medical Examiner Dale Anders (Victor Ermanis) to continue his work under the watchful eye of Tate (Richard Zeppieri). After Augur identifies Resistance member Albert Phillips from the DNA, Liam leaves to search for him and finds that Phillips was taken by the Taelons more than a month earlier.

Meanwhile, as Doors paces in his cell on the Mothership, Vosser arrives with Zo'or, who proposes that the time has come to set aside their differences and establish a mutually beneficial alliance.

On Earth, Sandoval, ensuring that nothing interferes with his personal agenda, directs Tate to guarantee that Medical Examiner Anders will not interfere. Liam goes to see Anders at his office, but finds him dead as Tate makes his escape. Liam sees that Anders' files have been pilfered and the “Thompson File” is missing.

Meanwhile, President Thompson (Barry Flatman) rides the crest of popularity, but Chief of Staff Hubble Urick (Frank Moore) expresses his concerns about the state of emergency and Zo'or's political demands.

Later, Augur finds that Albert Phillips' DNA sample is more than a month old. Liam leaves to retrieve a new sample from the catwalk in the auditorium where the attempted assassination took place. When Liam arrives, Tate, unbeknownst to Liam, is installing a time bomb. Liam collects more samples just before the bomb explodes and then lunges for safety. After testing the new DNA samples, Augur discovers the killer is Judson Corr, who murdered the wife of the late William Boone.

Liam gives Urick the disk of evidence, telling him and the President that false accusations have been made in the assassination attempt. President Thompson rescinds the State of Emergency and orders all suspected Resistance prisoners being held on the Mothership be returned to Earth. When Liam spots Doors in the Shuttle Bay of the Mothership, he proposes they set aside their differences and work together against the Taelons. But Liam is shocked when Doors offers his hand in the Taelon gesture of mutual respect to Zo'or, confirming a newly formed association. Sandoval then assigns Liam to search for a woman masquerading as a Volunteer.

Before Liam can respond, he sees a TV crew recording an announcement about the new alliance between Doors International and the Taelons, supervised by Renee Palmer. While Augur repairs his computer equipment, shut down by a virus during his search to identify Renee, he retires Holo-Lili to lay Lili Marquette to rest.

But, at the end of a long, dark Taelon corridor in solitary confinement, Lili Marquette awaits her fate.
