Anna is determined to get answers from her mommy. Apparently, the Visitors had a Shakespearean moment, and Anna overthrew her mother and stored her away for 15 years in case she needed any hints from Heloise or something. Anna needs pointers on how to get rid of the human emotions infecting the ship, but somehow Mama (original V star Jane Badler) deduces that Anna is infertile and the future of the race depends on Lisa's willingness to get funky with Tyler (*shudder*). Anna engages in some elder abuse until her mom gives her some clues as to How To Make Enemies With Your Emotions in 12 Easy Steps. The secret? Find the soul and destroy it. You probably need to come up with an evil laugh, too.
Lisa tells Erica that Joshua is alive, but he doesn't remember anything, not even being a back up singer in The Fifth Column. Anna tosses his reanimated corpse in a memory chamber so Anna can root out the terrorists who were working with him. The only face she finds in Joshua's reconstructed memory is Erica. But it's not Erica's involvement with the Fifth Column, it's her shooting him in the face.
Ryan has a funeral for Val, but he doesn't cry because they forgot to install tear ducts or something? Val's parents yell at him about that, but Father Jack reminds him to keep his eyes on the prize… and if he has a soul he should give it to Jesus.
Father Jack has developed an internet following and is inciting violence against the Visitors, which probably goes against at least one edict of the church. Suicide bombers ahoy! Chad Decker is reporting on the wondrous rejuvenation of Visitor-Human relations when the first bomb goes off. The bomber is just one part of concerted suicide bomb attacks across the globe. Obviously, the Fifth Column is blamed. Anna knows just the thing to fight back: Ryan Nichols. And now that she's skinned the baby (as in put skin on it) the darn thing is a cuddly little piece of bait to lure Ryan back to the fold. Ryan's putting up a good fight, but between Anna's bliss, the fact that she's torturing his daughter and Father Jack trying to bring him to Jesus, Ryan has had it up to here. But then he cries AND tells Anna to bliss his daughter and he's back on Team V.
Erica has realized that Chad Decker is the target of the Fifth Column bomb attacks because he's Anna's mouthpiece. She stops a second attempt on his life, which sets Kyle and Erica in a race against Agent Malik and the Visitors in the hunt for the Fifth Column. Kyle finds a clue that leads them to a repository of terrorist activities, but Malik lead the Vs to the same point and she and Kyle duke it out. After Kyle punches her out, her alien underpinnings are revealed. Then Kyle finds a clue that sends Erica and Malik on a road trip TO HELL. Accusations are hurled, the car flips over, and the feds are too cheap for airbags. Erica might be dead. CLIFFHANGER!
