- Rachel's attempt to kill Monroe is unsuccessful but it turns out that she can open the blast doors to the tower while Randall Flynn can't. Once inside Flynn says they need to go down to level 12 but only get as as level 11 where those who are guarding the tower ambush them. The tower is a former Defense Department base and safe haven for senior government personnel. Rachel and Monroes escape the ambush but she is loath to help him find a way out. Meanwhile Miles, Charlie, Nora, Jason and Tom Neville have also arrived at the tower. They soon meet up with Aaron who uses the override codes to enter the tower. In a firefight, Tom and Jason are left behind. Rachel and Charlie are reunited and Rachel finds that other old friends are there as well.—garykmcd
- Open with Rachel popping the pin on the grenade inside Monroe's tent. She is tackled by one of Monroe's guards and the grenade is tossed outside. Both she and Monroe survive.
Miles and his gang land in their helicopter four miles from the Tower. Jason and Charlie still maintain their sexual tension.
Monroe has Rachel use her hand to gain access to the Tower. She (and Randall) are surprised when it works.
We see two Monroe officers discussing what the general is up to. One seems concerned about the direction he's taking things.
We see that a group is watching Monroe's team. They grab guns.
Tom and Miles look at Monroe's camp. Tom makes a crack about his interest in Rachel's well-being. Tom sneaks up behind Aaron and scares him half to death.
Randall sees that Grace has fixed the elevator. He shows Monroe a bank of monitors and tells him that the Tower was the "crown jewel" of the US Military. Any person in the world can be spied on or killed with the push of a button. Randall tells Monroe they need to get to level 12 to make that happen.
Aaron tells Charlie and Miles about Rachel's plan to blow up Monroe. Aaron tells them he can get them into the Tower using the journal.
The elevator stops at level 11. As soon as members of Monroe's team walk onto the floor they are cut down by high-powered weapons of some kind. Rachel sneaks into vaulted room, but Monroe manages to follow her.
Tom takes out the power source in Monroe's camp. At the same time they fight their way to the front of the Tower, where Aaron begins entering a 62-character override code. He, Nora, Miles and Charlie get through the front door, but have to leave Tom and Jason behind, surrounded by militia.
Rachel tells Monroe she doesn't know who attacked them when they got out of the elevator. She basically doesn't tell him anything and reminds Monroe she was willing to die in order to kill him. Monroe then goes on a rant about how people who survive suicide attempts always say in retrospect they regretted the decision. There are weapons in the room and Monroe wants her to open the case.
Rachel flashes back to a conversation with Ben a week before the blackout. She wants them to stop the launch. He thinks it is too late in the process for such a conversation, she responds by saying they should separate.
The two officers from earlier, Franklin and Riley, go to see Tom and his son in custody. Tom knows them both. Franklin wants to know how they can get into the Tower. Tom begins to point out Monroe's recent decisions to turn on his own men.
Miles, Charlie, Nora and Aaron find the carnage on level 11. The elevator heads towards them and they run. They manage to duck into a large air vent in a lab of some kind.
Monroe still can't get into the gun locker. Rachel says she wants to see her daughter again, but can't help him because he killed her son. He tells her about his son.
We next flash to four months after the blackout. Ben uses one of the medallions to send a computer message asking" "Is anybody there?" Rachel returns from town and has a disturbing report of what is happening to the people. She feels they are responsible for what has happened. We see that Grace responded to his message.
Aaron says they are being shot at with high-tech, "coil guns." On a map Aaron spots an armory nearby. Miles finds it's completely empty.
Tom asks to speak with Riley. Tom says Monroe is paranoid and erratic, no longer fit to lead. Jason tells Riley his father is a natural replacement. Tom thinks a revolt is possible since most of those really loyal to Monroe are dead.
With help from Nora, Miles is able to get one of the guns away from a member of security detail.
Rachel sees Charlie on the monitor. Monroe promises to help her save Charlie.
Charlie ends up pinned on the ground under a large shelf. Just before she is killed Monroe takes out the man from behind. Rachel leads Charlie and Aaron right into three armed men. Miles and Monroe ends up facing one another with guns drawn.
Rachel is taken to a room filled with people. She is surprised to see both Grace and Dan there. The group, which was left at the Tower the night of the blackout, rescued Grace. Their goal is to protect the Tower, specifically preventing anyone from getting to level 12. The group has been down there for years.
Riley tells Tom he's interested in helping take down Monroe. There are 12 others on the same page. Riley sets Tom and Jason free and tells them to take out Franklin.
Dan prepares to burn the diary. They don't want to turn the power back on. Aaron and Rachel talk about safety and clean water, but he drops a match anyway. Grace then says there is a possibility if the switch is pulled it will set the world "on fire."
