Ham and Kyle are captured by Visitors, and Charles, the Leader's special envoy, assumes command of the alien forces.

A small group of resistance sympathizers (Robin included) are arrested by Bates' police, and a prisoner will be handed over to the Visitors to be executed every day until Donovan, Ham, and Julie surrender.

While Bates remains in a coma Charles plots to overthrow him, elsewhere Willie is gravely wounded so the rebels kidnap a medical student of the Visitors.
