Olive continues to attend the Church of the Returned who have become more fervent in their beliefs while Michaela fights for Zeke in court. Aware someone is passing her research to the Major, Saanvi sets a trap and identifies a mole in her hospital and her therapist as the leak. Working with Ben and Vance, Saanvi identifies The Major as US Army Major General Kathryn Fitz, a specialist in psychological warfare with thirty years in covert ops. Meanwhile, Michaela helps Zeke get released from jail and Grace fails to fulfill a calling when it comes to a woman named Erika and a gargoyle. Ben is offered a job at TJ's college, but the hiring faculty member Simon White has a secret, sinister motivation as Erika is revealed to be his wife. The gargoyle sculptures on the college are then revealed. Angry at Michaela, Jared connects with a bartender named Tamara whose bar is frequented by the Xers, the group that has been harassing the 828 passengers.

Trivia

• Mick points out Jared illegally looked into Zeke and assaulted him after breaking into Mick's apartment; all on wild goose chase, (to chase Zeke out of their lives). So despite the gun not being legally purchased, Zeke was within his legal right to use the firearm in self defense; the ensuing struggle was initiated by Jared, which resulted in Mick accidentally getting shot.
• Jared is now considered incompetent by the NYPD due to his emotional attachment to Mick clouding his judgment.
