This episode opens with Jason, Neville, Rachel and Miles still in a standoff over Monroe. Neville threatens to shoot Rachel, so Miles calls his bluff causing Neville to be surprised at how willing Miles is to sacrifice for Monroe. Doyle comes out of the bushes with patriot soldiers, so Miles and Rachel take off after killing a few Patriots.
The next day, Neville sits with Doyle and asks for more men to continue his search for Monroe. When Doyle balks, Neville reminds him that no one asked him to come rushing out of the bushes with soldiers last night. Neville asserts that he needs to do this his way and reminds Doyle that finding Monroe is important to the president as well. Doyle dismisses Truman, who is not at all pleased and reminds Doyle that he is sitting in his office. Doyle talks about how he wanted Rachel and Neville's executied and that when he finds Monroe, he is going to ask the president for their deaths. Doyle declares that he is not going to help Neville, though he cannot stop them.
A week later, Bass and Charlie are making their way to Willoughby. Bass questions how Charlie finds the time to have sex with Connor and comments that her choice of lovers is interesting. They stop when they hear sounds and it turns out to be Rachel and Miles. Miles says that they could use twice as many guys and Bass says that they were lucky to get them. Miles expresses surprise that Bass didn't screw them over.
They all head to camp and Gene tells Rachel that Charlie and Conner are sleeping together after watching them together. Rachel of course quickly denies this but Gene points out that he knows something about having a wild daughter. Really? They're doing the apple and tree bullshit over the choice of sexual partners and implying slutshaming. Umm no Revolution this is not cool.
Miles and Bass talk about Neville's alliance with the Patriots. Miles reminds Bass that the Patriots have Neville's wife Julia. Bass suggests that they put Neville out of his misery because Neville is apparently shadier than Miles. Mile says that they have other things to take care of. Miles takes Bass to see a Patriot training camp and Bass realises that all of the new recruits are kids. Bass points out that most of the kids are from Willoughby. Miles then points out all of the firepower that the Patriots have stockpiled, saying how much they could use it. As they leave the area, Miles boasts about how his son behaved in New Vegas. When Bass. heads in the bushes to use the bathroom, he finds two Patriot soldiers. Bass of course wants to kill the two prisoners.
That night, two hundred miles away, Aaron and Priscilla have made camp for the night. Aaron says that they will reach Willoughby in a week or so. They sit eating apples and when Priscilla enthuses about the apple, Aaron wonders why Priscilla has been so happy since Lubbock. Priscilla points out that they have been through hell and not only did they survive, they're together. Priscilla suggests that this is a good thing and they smile.
In the oval office, the president stands over Ron, who is drawing, when Roger enters to give his report. The President asks how things are going in Willoughby and how General Carter is doing. Roger calls Carter a silly man but the president reminds him that Carter is the commander of Texas and is not to be underestimated. The president issues an order for the cadets to be activated by the end of the month. When Roger assures the president that their plans are moving along well, the president reminds Roger that their plans to take Texas depends on those cadets and from there the rest of the continent. The president say that Monroe and Miles are still at large around this pivotal camp and questions if he should trust Roger. The president threatens to shoot Doyle, and Roger, as well as their families, if the cadets don't get onto the field. Well, talk about an imperial presidency. Things have certainly changed. I wonder how he gets his mandate to wield so much power. Roger leaves and the president goes back to watching Ron.
Rachel heads to see Charlie, as Miles and Bass walk their prisoners back to camp. Gene meets them and says that he delivered those kids. Gene asks if Kim is okay and neither prisoner answers. Bass assures Gene that the kids are alright, as Charlie and Conner tie the kids up. Charlie asks Kim if she has seen her around town, but Kim does not answer. Miles points out to Gene that if they hit the munitions pile that it will cause a lot of damage and give them a window to get in. Gene wonders what will happen to the town's kids. Miles says that the boot camp is bad for them but Gene points out that he practically raised those kids. Rachel asks what the point is of saving Wiloughby, if they have to murder its children. Bass answers that he is there to win, not save anyone. Bass walks away and Rachel and Miles share an intense moment.
