·40 min·4 clips

A woman with a fake child lures a truck into an ambush on a deserted highway.

The episode opens with Christy observing a woman luring a truck into an ambush on U.S. Route 22, resulting in a hijacking of tractor-trailers by Carmen Perez's group. Christy is later praised by Perez and offered a solo mission by a high-up contact in the UWF. In a separate storyline, Senator Emily Tompkins is confronted by an agent at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, who informs her that Charlotte Yates must be 'dealt with' for knowing confidential information about a plan involving Carter and the UWF. Emily reflects on her past trust in Charlotte and decides to try warning her. Charlotte is shown in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, playing with children in a refugee camp and discussing the worsening shortages with Veer. They volunteer at the camp but doubt its longevity due to increasing violence and scarcity. Charlotte and Veer's relationship has blossomed amid the chaos, with Veer undergoing a personal transformation after a violent encounter. Meanwhile, Andrea Evans of Libertas infiltrates a Los Reyes cartel hideout in Bloomington, Indiana, by scaling a building. She coordinates with Echo and Whiskey teams to clear the building, aiming to rescue trafficked women and possibly capture cartel leader Martin Novak. Andrea discovers a woman hiding in a closet, highlighting the brutal conditions. The episode cuts between these narratives, showing different factions like the UWF, Libertas, and cartels vying for control in a society where the power grid has failed and the government has retreated.
