Julie rouses Mike from his sleep as the Resistance prepares for a raid on a Visitor processing plant, to rescue humans who have been repackaged into food cocoons. The raid is easily thwarted at the plant perimeter, due to the Visitors" advanced armor and security measures. In the raid"s debriefing at the Resistance hideout, the team bickers over how things went wrong. Robin Maxwell"s pregnancy is also at an advanced stage.
The rebels later get wind of a major event to be held at the Los Angeles Medical Center, where John is expected to announce a medical breakthrough - a universal cancer cure. Because of the extensive media coverage, the rebels infiltrate the hospital. However, while he can provide uniforms for the infiltration, Martin could not supply weapons because all Visitor armories were heavily guarded. The rebels scout the place and secure medical supplies while Robin seeks an abortion with Julie"s help. They cancel the abortion because of potentially fatal complications to her.

They relocate to an old western movie studio.

Diana is forced to use the conversion chamber"s full power to finally force Julie to submit. After she successfully pleads to Diana to stop the procedures, Mike Donovan bursts in and attempts to shoot Diana, but Jake kills him in time.

The first few days after Robin"s delivery prove to be challenging for her and the others. The male child dies while the baby girl, Elizabeth, begins to grow at a rapid rate. Julie and Robert"s analysis of the male child"s corpse reveals certain bacteria that only affected the boy despite his proximity to Elizabeth in the uterus. Encouraged by the sudden development, the duo decide to culture the germs as a potential weapon.
Mike Donovan and Martin escape by skydiving out of the mothership and Martin goes into hiding with other ground-based Fifth Columnists. After Mike reaches the jail, the team discuss testing the bacterium, now called the "Red Dust," but reject Ham"s suggestion of using Willie as a guinea pig. Instead, the rebels capture Brian at the Bernstein house and frame Daniel. Stephen retaliates by sending Daniel off to be processed as food.
