her empathy test results. He tells her that at 7 o'clock earth Eastern standard time, they are creating a diversion so Anna's baby soldiers can be blowed up. He hands Lisa a salt shaker for the ensuing omelet. Honestly, I have no idea what it was he handed her, but she knows and she looks concerned. She reminds Joshua that he is asking her to betray her mother and murder her own kind. Joshua nods, because he knows. But he also knows that she loves Tyler and that Anna has a plan for him and all the humans. That plan is an all you can eat buffet where the earthlings are the star entrée. It's time for Lisa to pick sides. Lisa takes the salt shaker.Ryan's shuttle lands on the Mothership and he comes out fighting. A line of guards prevents him from going anywhere. He demands to see Anna and she is more than happy to talk to him. She fully admits that Val is on the ship. She kidnapped her to save her! Her pregnancy is a miracle, but a miracle with accompanying dangers like the stigmata or a sudden blindness. Anna wishes Ryan had come to her earlier for help, but now that he's here with Val, won't he let her help him? Ryan looks full of doubts and suspicions, but doesn't really have a choice. I mean, he's trapped on a ship, Val is trapped on the ship, his soon to be born ent is on the ship. They just got a Pinkberry. What the fuck? He stays. Ryan walks into Val's room eating a Pinkberry cone and taking in her surroundings. Val is on a metal slab in the middle of a large stark delivery room where all the doctors are ignoring her. Sorry to see the Future has not improved upon the child birth experience. Val is so happy to see Ryan and begs him to get her out of there. But Ryan has had a change of heart laced in his fro yo and thinks Val should stay. Her pregnancy is really difficult and complicated and shit and she should probably let the nice doctors continue to ignore her. Val shrieks in pain (no Scientological silent birth for the Vs either -- take that Xenu!) and the doctor wanders over to announce that the baby is crowning and it is time for Ryan to leave. I have seen the future of child birth...and it looks like 1952.
Erica is getting dressed for her dinner date and is giving Kyle and Father Jack a little FBI peepshow as she adjusts her gun on her inner leg holster. Kyle admires it brazenly while Father Jack averts his eyes and crosses himself. Kyle explains the explosive device that Erica will use "to scramble the bitch's eggs". It's a next gen egg beater! Okay, no, it's a next gen explosive that even alien technology can't pick up. No one asks how exactly Kyle knows what alien technology can detect, but since the supposedly super advanced explosive looks just like a Dr. Scholl's gel insert my guess is that the Vs in their skin sacks don't know nothing about achy sore feet. (What? I'm decrepit. Shut up.) Kyle puts the gel insert in Erica's "clutch"; he corrects Father Jack's assertion that it is a purse. Jesus, Father Jack, don't you know anything about women's fashion accessories? It's like you've been cloistered with men for the last ten years. Oh...right. And, Kyle? I'm not quite sure what it says about you that you feel compelled to correct a PRIEST on the etymology of PURSE vs. CLUTCH. Kyle slips the initiator into Erica's cell phone. All she needs to do is strap on an apron and she is ready to make a soufflé. Kyle explains that he will be sure to get No.2 off the ship so Erica can get her job done. She makes meaningful eyes at Kyle and then at Father Jack (slut!) and then heads off to her destiny. In high heels and a satin shirt. Like Charo with a gun holster.
Chad Decker did not pass go, but went directly to Anna with Father Jack's note and the instruction that it was to go to the medical bay. Chad asks her if this note means that there are Visitors in the Fifth Column; Anna swears that her people are loyal and that the message must be intended for the Live Aboard humans. Even up here they have been infiltrated by the Fifth Column. Chad sighs that he just doesn't want anyone else to get hurt. Anna reaches out and gropes Chad's hand AND forearm (which I'm pretty sure is third base in V-human relations) and promises that once they eradicate the Fifth Column, no one else will be harmed.
In a dark parking garage, Kyle pulls his gun and ducks and runs to a black SUV. He pulls the door open, gun at the ready, but the SUV is empty. No.2 is standing behind him and blithely tells him to drop the gun, because they have a lot to discuss. Kyle shrugs and holsters his weapon. No.2 hands him a briefcase and Kyle hands him a floppy disk full of Dr. Parker's research into reptilian viruses. No. 2 looks at the disk like, "WTF is this bullshit? We are ADVANCED technological lifeforms. We don't have any Apple IIe on the ships." And Kyle laughs that he had to protect himself somehow. As soon as No.2 gives him some information on why the Visitors are single white female-ing his hairy ass and keep framing him for things he will give them the rest of the information. No. 2 mutters, "curses, foiled again." He sighs and explains that they framed Kyle because they want to HIRE him. This has all been a big job interview. Kyle is unimpressed because he really would have preferred some sort of Celebrity Apprentice style hiring process. No. 2 then makes his big reveal: Kyle has already been working for the Visitors for years. He shows Kyle the photographic evidence and HR forms to prove their prior working relationship. Hey Kyle? YOU'RE HIRED!
