Synopsis[]

When Grace and Cal are involved in a suspicious hit-and-run, Ben is determined to get to the bottom of it. Michaela investigates a brutal attack at the Church of the Believers, but finds her efforts stymied by Adrian's refusal to cooperate. Zeke is tested when he tries to make amends with someone from his past.[src]


Plot[]

Olive is the only witness when Xers vandalize the Church of the Returned and attack a member, and Ben receives a calling to "save her". Meanwhile, Grace's car is forced off the road by other Xers. In both instances, police dismiss the seriousness of the events because the victims are passengers and the attacks appear random. While being treated at the hospital, Ben and Grace learn their baby is a girl and assume the calling was about her. Ben and TJ review events and realize the Xer attacks have been carefully planned to divert police manpower. Olive tells Michaela what she saw and identifies a suspect, who directs the police to a meeting place for Xers. Jared knows Tamara's brother Billy was involved, so he leaks news of the coming raid to them and Michaela's strike team finds nothing. In return, Jared is introduced to Simon White, the organizer of the Xers. Meanwhile, Zeke tries to make amends with Courtney, a woman he wronged as an addict. She initially rejects him, but later identifies herself to Michaela as Zeke's wife. Olive tells her parents about visiting the Church of the Returned, Ben tells Adrian to stay away from Olive.

Trivia[]

  • The Xers are assaulting 828ers. Even running Grace's car off the road becauae Cal was inside; not even caring a non-828er was in it. They are surprisingly smart enough to strike multiple targets at once to keep the police off their backs; too many targets for them to take seriously.
  • Zeke makes amends with his ex, Courtney.
  • Adrian's church is making things worse; as Ben points out, they keep making the 828ers out to be non-humans. Thus idiots with an ax to grind are constantly after 828ers just trying to live a peaceful life.
