As Erica and Jack continue discussing their options of what they have found out about the Visitors, a shuttle belonging to the aliens arrive at the meeting point and began cleaning up evidence of what happened there. Erica calls a payphone to alert the authorities on the massacre, but her call is picked up by the Visitors who have intercepted the 911 call. Moments later, an alien drone which was used previously to break up the resistance meeting targets the pair, but Erica manages to destroy it. After this they part ways, but not before Erica warns Jack not to easily trust and tell anyone about what they know. Back at home, Tyler promises his mother that he will not get into any stuff related to the Visitors, but he hides his Visitor peace ambassador status from her.

The next day in FBI headquarters, Erica learns from her superior Kendrick that Dale has gone missing and his wife doesn’t know where he went. Erica is brought in for questioning as she was last seen with Dale, while Jack is questioned by Sarita Malik, an FBI agent working in the Visitors Threat Assessment Task Force (VTATF), about the man who gave him the photos in the church before dying. The FBI has discovered Dale’s car parked outside the warehouse where the resistance meeting was, but find no clues to what happened as the Visitors have cleaned up the scene. Meanwhile, Ryan goes to visit a fellow Visitor, Angelo Russo, who has deserted their original mission and now hides out as a car mechanic. Ryan needs help from Angelo to take care of the wound he received during the fight in the warehouse. However, after he receives treatment, Angelo knocks him out with a drug, saying that he trusts no one. When Ryan wakes up, Angelo is gone.

Tyler begins his first day as Visitor peace ambassador and brings along his friend Brandon, who also wants to join. Tyler gets along with Lisa nicely for most of the day, but things go sour when he gets into a fight with an anti-Visitor protester. Afterwards, Lisa tells him that she is now in trouble for having recommended him, and now the council has kicked him out of the ambassador program. Tyler is devastated.

Chad Decker, the TV anchorman who is given exclusive access to interviews with the Visitor high commander Anna, is not pleased with her request that her kind not be portrayed negatively. He antagonizes the Visitors by setting up a live TV discussion with a US congressman on the aliens’ motives and whether or not they should be trusted. Anna summons him for an explanation of what he’s trying to do. The Visitors clearly need his help, as he has the ability to influence public opinion of them. Chad makes a deal with Anna: if the Visitors want his help, they will have to play by his own rules. Later, the Visitors have established diplomatic relations with major nations, with the US being the latest. The aliens are now able to apply for visas to travel anywhere in the region.

Erica finds that Jack has voluntarily submitted the photos of the human-disguised Visitors to the Task Force and is angry with him for trusting the authorities when more aliens could be in their midst. Jack tells her that he doesn’t know who to trust as she just left without contacting him, and he wanted to do something about what he’s learned. Kendrick tells Erica that he has obtained a phone recording of her calling 911 near the vicinity of the warehouse that night from the DEA, who supposedly was on a drug sting operation. Erica explains to her boss that Dale might be a mole planted by the terrorists they are tracking, omitting the fact that he is a Visitor. She suspects that the case goes a lot deeper than she thought when the DEA tampered with her 911 call, and requests to investigate Dale further. She visits Dale’s wife, who lets her know that her husband had placed numerous calls to contact numbers unknown to her.

Ryan receives a call from Angelo, who reveals to him Valerie’s personal and public details. He tells Ryan that if he can obtain this information so easily by himself, the Visitors can do the same as well. Angelo warns Ryan to leave Valerie if he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to her. Later, Ryan finds a note in his house from a man he used to know, Cyrus, who provides him with an address.

Jack meets with Erica after work and they discuss on the probability they will be able to fight back against the Visitors. Erica shows him a pile of papers she swiped out from the VTATF, a list of people who have contacted the FBI about aliens or Visitors. With this list, they can find possible supporters to their future resistance group. At home, Erica takes out a photo of Dale from his personnel file, and runs it through the paper shredder. In the spaceship, the supposedly dead Dale revives and awakens.
