- From inside the chrysalexi, she puts her hand out to touch Anne's on the other side. Lexi's eyes open and she starts moving, breaking out of the cocoon. She looks the same except her eyes have changed. She passes out but quickly wakes up and says she has to go.
She lectures the Masons on the violence inherent in humans and says she tried to show them a path to peace, but they rejected it. When Anne asks her about saying she'll always need her family, Lexi explains she didn't mean this one.
Lexi ignores the Masons and starts to walk through the people to leave. Lourdes follows her and begs Lexi to take her with her. Lexi asks her if Lourdes wants her to "set her free," but it turns out they have a slight misunderstanding. Lexi kills Lourdes with her powers instead, paralyzing everyone from stopping her. Then she walks out.
When the day breaks, Anne says a few words about Lourdes. Hal is angry at his dad for not listening to his warnings about Lexi. Tom believes she's a threat now, but Anne still thinks she can be saved.
They go to Dr. Kadar for answers, but all he can guess is that her human and Espheni DNA fused and she's more powerful. They're interrupted by Tector.
Cochise found Anthony out on patrol. Anthony and Bennett were picked up by skitters and taken to the charred overlord, who burned Bennett alive and let Anthony go. Cochise reports their drones have picked up a large Espheni force in the area.
They plan for the invasion, including taking out the bridge into Chinatown to force the Espheni to come from the south. They start constructing a kill zone through what's left of the town with plans to rain thermite on the Espheni.
Sara suggests to Pope that they head out to the Keys instead, but he tells her if she wants to live, she's best sticking hear the Masons.
Matt hands out extra ammo, but Ben says he doesn't need it because he's on recon. Then he confesses to Matt that he's going after Lexi because she can help and he thinks he can get through to her.
Maggie finds Hal, who is angry about Lexi. He thinks anyone who falls under the influence of the Espheni should be killed. Maggie points out if she'd taken that attitude, Hal wouldn't be there. But he says then he wouldn't have handed Lexi over to Karen.
Tom and Weaver review the plan, they're ready. Matt confesses that Ben went after Lexi.
In their forward lookout spot, Dingaan and Deni see mechs approaching with the overlord. They're racing for cover when they run into a line of people on their knees, waiting. They're former followers of Lexi, who believe that they'll be spared. They aren't. The mechs mow them down.
Hal, Maggie, Dingaan and Deni wait for the Mechs to walk down their trap. Maggie lights the thermite and it explodes from the Chinese lanterns strung above and melts three mechs. Maggie hangs back to blast a skitter.
Pope leads Sara as skitters close in. Tector save them from one but Pope notices their gas line is leaking. He shouts at everyone to run and it explodes. He finds Sara huddled off to the side, reeling from all the people who have died around them.
Tom and Weaver come out into the wreckage. Deni is hurt, but healing quickly. No one can find Maggie. Tom apologizes to Hal for thinking he could protect them from Lexi, but Hal assures him he loves him. Anne finds Tom and tells him everyone in the barricade was killed.
Meanwhile, outside the fighting, Ben finds Lexi and asks for her help. He tells her what everyone was like before the war, that they were non-violent. He asks her to go back, but she thinks he came this far for a reason. His spikes glow as a ship lands.
With the second wave of Espheni about to come into town, Tom says they have to hide to make them think the explosion took everyone out. Pope suggests the fallout shelter below ground.
They're doing one last sweep of town when Weaver finds Dr. Kadar -- he has a giant shard of glass sticking out of his side. Anne, Tom, and Weaver gather around him as he urges them not to give up on Lexi.
Down in the shelter, all the survivors are there except Pope, Sara and Maggie.
Tom wants to go up and kill the charred overlord himself. Everyone thinks this is a terrible idea. He asks Tector to show him how to use his giant Civil War gun. Tector goes up top with him and seems to find gunk in his gun. He sends Tom below for some oil for it, which he doesn't need.
Hal comes back to the shelter, hoping Maggie is there, but she isn't. He can't go back out again, because the mechs arrive.
Tector, the trained sniper, takes careful aim at the charred overlord, but he only nicks him. The overlord calls in a ship to bomb the place, but Cochise takes it out. The ship crashes into the structure where Tector was and he dives for cover. When a skitter comes over to investigate, Tector laughs at him -- then blows himself up.
The charred overlord examines what's left of Tector and walks off.
As day breaks, the bodies of the dead are strewn everywhere. Maggie is crushed under a giant beam.
Somewhere in the dark, Tom flicks on his lighter and finds himself buried under a pile of ruble. He checks his head -- Tector knocked him out with a wrench.
