Erica survived the car crash, but the ensuing smackdown with Agent Malik is a nearer thing. Father Jack and Kyle show up to take Malik away, figuring (correctly) that the Fifth Column will be blamed. Waving Ryan's baby in his face, Anna tasks him with finding Malik's kidnappers, unaware that he's already tight with them. He and Erica search Malik's place for clues, one step ahead of Anna's Trackers. Erica's disappointed that Malik doesn't seem to have anything to do with whatever the reason is for Tyler's DNA to be all effed-up, but at least they can try to figure out what she was up to instead. With Malik refusing to talk, Erica lets Ryan and Kyle torture her until she gives up what she knows. It has to do with Joshua's soul-extraction project, which needs tons of human test subjects. The team follows that lead to a van that was used to nab a bunch of them. They retrieve the one victim we're supposed to care about, but the V kidnapper commits suicide, so that's another dead end, and they're too late to save the rest. Oh, well.
Anna asks Chad to interview Father Jack, but Father Jack has a more immediate problem: his service deploring the recent violence almost devolves into violence, incited by an undercover V and captured on a cell phone for the whole internet to see -- exactly the way Anna wanted it. Even after this, Jack is not only cool with Chad, he introduces him to the rest of the gang, which is when Chad finds out what they're really up against, lizard-wise.
Anna congratulates Tyler on being the one who filmed the fight at Jack's church, and Lisa -- traumatized after Anna forced her to take an active part in Joshua's soul-extraction experiment -- turns to Erica. Finally, when Ryan reports to Anna, he says he knows what she wanted him to find out. But as for whether he's really going to tell her, that's going to have to wait until the episode.
