Trama

While members of the 2nd Mass attempt to dig out a shot-down Beamer, Tom and a small team follow the Volm to a supply cache in search of equipment to expedite the process. Along the way, they encounter a friend, and must decide whether or not to trust her. Back at camp, Maggie and Ben grow closer as he teaches her to hone her new skills, while Pope and Sara continue to clash, resulting in a fight from which they may never recover.—Anonymous

The survivors learn that Espheni technology is producing power on the moon and transmitting wireless to their war weapons and facilities. Cochise discloses to Tom and Weaver that there are Volm supplies stashed nearby that may help them. They go with Anne and Matt to the hideout and need to wear mask due to the toxic atmosphere when Matt sees Mira. The group suspects and tie her hands up but she manipulates Matt that releases her and she blow a hidden whistle. Then there is a Beamer attack to the place. When they return to their base, they find an application of Mira's whistle. Meanwhile Dingaan and Shaq tries to understand the Espheni technology and Pope learns that Sara left him.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In the rubble, they try to make sense of the Espheni tech. It's wireless electricity beamed from the moon. Cochise is annoyed that it took so long to figure it out. That means the power source on the moon powers every laser wall in every ghetto, and every skitter factory.

Tom doesn't see any other option than going up to the moon and blowing it up. He quotes JFK introducing the space race to suggest they fly an Espheni beamer to the moon. Cochise says it's not as crazy as it sounds.

In the morning light they get to work clearing all the rubble off the beamer. Maggie is annoyed from her Espheni spike implants. Anne is in a snit, but helping anyway to support everyone who's supporting Tom. She's mad at him over Lexi, but doesn't want to talk about it.

Cochise drops by and tells Weaver and Tom that there's a Volm supply cache nearby that has blasting tools that can help.

Maggie helps Hal with the digging, then picks up a giant piece of concrete and accidentally hurls it through the air, nearly hitting Sara, who falls and loudly complains about her wrist. Ben offers to help her learn how to control her new technology.

Tom finds Anne angrily packing to go to the supply cache. He tries to get her to talk about why she's angry. She thinks he's given up on Lexi, but he argues he's just being a realist, even though it breaks his heart. Anne has faith, he has hope.

Pope finds Sara raiding the medical supplies, looking for Vicodin. He accuses her of playing up her injury, but she insists her wrist hurts. He tells her he believed her when she announced the "new" Sara was giving up pills. He's disappointed.

Weaver, Tom and Anne and Matt follow Cochise to the weapons cache. He gives them gas masks to handle the potentially lethal chlorine in the air. Cochise explains the weapons were hidden near toxic waste to discourage scavengers. Suddenly, Matt sees his friend Mira wandering nearby. They get her to safety and she says she escaped from the camp after graduating. She tells them they were trained to raise an alarm if they find any dissidents, but she says she threw her whistle away. Tom and Anne get suspicious and Tom ties her up.

In the ship, Dingaan and the Volm, Shaq, try to make sense of the beamer technology.

Ben takes Maggie on top of an old museum and tries to help her get used to her spikes. She can hear Pope and Sara arguing from inside. Maggie thinks the spikes feel like an invasion, but he assures her she'll love her new powers some day. He takes her hand and they jump off a three story building together and Maggie starts to see the perks of spikes.

Matt checks on Mira, who complains that her hands hurt where she's tied up. He's hesitant, but he unties her. She tells him it was hard after he left, but she's glad she stayed, because she learned a lot. She says they were wrong about everything. She reaches down to her shoe and pulls out her whistle, then blows it.

After their jump, Maggie jazzed. Ben confesses that at first he used to sneak out at night and jump off things or run as fast as he could. Eventually he realized he was freaking people out, so he toned it down. He says they can jump together, they just have to warn people. He tells her the alien DNA fused with her will heighten her emotions, and when she's happy she'll be ecstatic, but it works both ways. Their spikes both glow and she feels his sadness. He tells her she has to learn to control her power.

At the Volm weapons cache, they arming up when Matt drags Maya over. They see a beamer closing in, but Cochise doesn't have the bomb he needs to unearth the beamer ship yet.

Back in the rubble, Sara tries to confront Pope, but he tells her that she's an addict and a liar and he doesn't want to get used by her. She yells at him, saying she was fine before she met him and he's just afraid about what they might have. She shows him the pill bottle and says even though the label says Vicodin, it's just aspirin.

After the beamer attack at the Volm weapon's cache, Tom looks for his son. They see the team leaders from the youth camp coming in and open fire. Out in the woods, Matt chases after Mira, but another brainwashed youth steps out of the woods and shoots Matt in the neck with a tranquilizer. A group of kids surround them, but Weaver finds them and opens fire. He gets them to follow him and Cochise stuns them.

Tom and Anne take cover, but they're low on ammo. They head for better cover but Anne gets hit in the arm.

The Team Leader announces to Tom that they have Matt. He kicks over a vat of something and asks Tom to come with them. Tom runs out of ammo. Ken lights the spilled toxins on fire and tells Tom to come out. He intends to shoot. Anne runs out, distracting Ken. Tom jumps out of the flames and grabs a gun on the ground and shoots at Ken, mortally wounding him.

Tom checks on him, asking Ken how he could turn against his own people. "Progress is made when we embrace our Espheni brothers. I'm not a traitor, I'm a new patriot. I gave them my mother," Ken says, before dying.

Later, Anthony tells Pope that Sara left a few hours ago with a rifle and a couple days rations.

Ben lets Maggie show off her firing skills and she blasts and tumbles her way through a sharp shooter gymnastics course. "How do you like me now?" she teases. "I like you too much," he says. Their spikes both start glowing and she rushes to him and kisses him. Hal sees them, but just walks away.

Maggie apologizes, but says she feels drawn to Ben. But then she says she didn't before her spikes and she loves Hal, so Ben stops her from kissing him again, even though he wants her to.

Coming back from the weapons cache, Cochise is annoyed at the failed mission. Matt is upset over Mira. Tom tries to help him feel better, not by telling him to forget Mira, but to remember the feeling he had for her.

Back in camp, Hal sucker punches Ben and tells him to stay away from Maggie and that she's his. "I'm sorry, I didn't see your leash on her," Ben says.

Tom and his group return from their mission. He gives Dingaan Mira's whistle and tells him it can apparently summon beamers, but be careful with it. Tom can tell something is up between Hal and Ben, but they aren't dishing.

Back in their room, Tom teases Anne about saving him by essentially jumping out and yelling "hey wait!" He tells her he doesn't know what comes next for them, but no matter how much time they have left, he wants to spend it with her.

He gets down on one knee and proposes. She says yes.

The next day, Weaver leads the ceremony. Tom's vows include having her back in a firefight.

Anne wears black and a flower over her ear. Weaver pronounces them married when Shaq interrupts with important information about the beamer. He has taken apart the whistle, which is high tech on the inside and operates an ultrasonic frequency. He has linked it to the Volm communication device. When Tom asks what that means, Shaq demonstrates.

He blows the whistle. There's a rumbling and slowly the beamer lifts out of the rubble and hovers in the sky.

"We choose to go to the moon," Tom says.
