- Open with Miles, Rachel, Monroe and Connor returning to find no sign of Charlie and Gene. They spot them working in the Patriot camp and figure out that is seems like some type of quarantine situation.
We see that despite Gene's efforts more and more people are becoming infected and dying. Gene demands medicine from Truman but Truman says there's nothing he can do right now.
Rachel tells the guys they have to go down and join the quarantine efforts. She volunteers to sneak down. She quickly finds Gene and Charlie, who tells her "it's bad." Truman comes over and asks about Miles and Aaron. She says she's alone. Truman doesn't buy it but Gene tells him he needs his daughter.
Tom tells Julia that her husband has Jason in custody under suspicion of breaking into his office. Julia will do anything to get him back and Tom says she's the best chance they have to get him out.
We flash back to two years before the blackout. Tom and Julia can't find food and a young Jason is near-death. Tom tries to steal food from two men but is beaten senseless.
Rachel and Gene discuss the fact the illness isn't behaving the way Typhus normally does. He tells her this is how he lost his wife and Rachel promises they will figure things out.
Aaron looks up and finds himself staring at Cynthia. It is the Nanotech and she/they want him to travel to Lubbock, Texas. If he doesn't go there both he and Priscilla will be in danger. She disappears and Priscilla asks him what he saw.
Rachel tests some blood from one of those killed by the infection. She tells Gene that the illness is Typhus, but it is a synthetic version. She thinks the Patriots intentionally started the outbreak. And Rachel thinks they would never do such a thing without a vaccine. Gene has a guess as to where it will be located.
Rachel gets a message to Miles about where the cure might be located. Connor tells the other two guys he's seen plague up-close and doesn't want to go in there. Monroe takes Connor aside and tells him that Miles loves Rachel and they need to keep him on their side.
Julia tries to pry some info about the person who broke into his office from Doyle. He tells they are questioning the suspect but doesn't tell her the location.
Back in the flashback the beaten Tom thinks he's failing. She pumps him by telling him he's smart and they need to use their strengths.
In present day Julia sneaks into Doyle's office and finds the location where Jason is being held.
Miles, Monroe and Connor break into the Patriots storage facility but find it empty.
Rachel tells Gene and Charlie she thinks certain people are being targeted by the illness. She thinks it could be food or water. A lot of the people who are getting sick are the "undesirables," the Patriots are trying to make the town "pure." Gene falls over. It appears he has the disease.
Miles gets word back to Rachel about them striking out with the possible vaccine location. Truman tells Gene he's sorry to see him sick. Gene tells Rachel and Charlie he has a plan.
Julia tells Tom where Jason is being held. She thinks she can help by letting Tom into a dinner she's having with another couple. Tom can kill the couple and they will press Doyle for info.
We flash back again to two years after the blackout. Rachel returns to the two men and pretends to be interested in them sexually. While she distracts them Tom kills them. Afterwards they are both surprised at how far they were able to go.
Miles, Monroe and Connor abduct Truman.
Priscilla doesn't think they should go to Lubbock. She isn't scared of the Nanotech. When she tries to walk away she's almost crushed by an enormous tree. This changes her mind.
Miles asks Truman for the antidote. When he says nothing Miles injects Truman with the Typhus. Miles tells him his life now depends on him helping them.
Gene seems near death. He is saying reflective things about his life to Charlie and Rachel.
Tom breaks into the house but finds Doyle and his men waiting for him with guns drawn. Doyle tells them to say their final good-byes because they'll never see each other again. Julia is dragged away.
The plan is for Connor to bring Truman into town so he can lead him to the antidote. They get to his office and Truman shows him several containers of the medication. Suddenly several soldiers enter the room with guns drawn and Connor sticks his gun to Truman's head.
