The episode's teleplay was written by Scott M. Gimple & Ian Goldberg and was directed by Constantine Makris.
Demetri, Simon, Janis and Vogel are traveling to Somalia via helicopter dressed as Red Panda representatives to investigate the remaining tower standing because they thought it was a design made by Simon when he was thirteen years old, and was then stolen by whoever created the tower.
Abdi explains that back in 1991, Americans came to Somalia, claiming to be creating the towers to provide them with electricity.
He claims in his flashforward, he was speaking in front of thousands of what he believed was about starting a war against America, and his army would be called The Better Angels.
Janis shows him, through the mosaic website, that he was reading an excerpt from Lincoln's first inaugural address: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
Abdi takes them inside the tower, where they find a video that reveals that his people were questioned for what they saw, and they see that D. Gibbons was the one behind the operation.
Abdi finds his mother's body via identifying her necklace, and he blames Simon for what happened since the tower was based on his designs.
Right before he pulls the trigger, Vogel shoots Abdi from behind, fatally wounding him and saving Simon's life, but also preventing his flashforward from happening.
Mark shares some information with Wedeck about the hydra painting he saw in his vision and shows how it's connected with Dyson Frost.
Charlie hears some fireworks go off, she goes to the back door, and sees Vogel telling another man "Mark Benford is dead".
Olivia reveals what she heard to Mark, and when Olivia decides to leave the house that night, Mark tells her he can't because there's gonna be another blackout and he needs to see it through, meaning he needs the flashforwards to come true to see what he saw come true.
