Bottom of the World (Defiance)

Alak (Jesse Rath) ends his relationship with Deirdre (Kristina Pesic) by telling her that he loves Christie (Nicole Muñoz) and he wants to focus on his family and his child.

Stahma (Jaime Murray) listens to Alak's conversation with Deirdre while Christie comes back and the two girls leave.

Nolan calls Rafe (Graham Greene) to come and help with the rescue of Amanda, while Irisa gets the opportunity to free herself and run away.

Stahma meets Datak (Tony Curran) and informs him about Deirdre being a problem to the family, asking him to take care of her.

Rafe asks Quentin's (Justin Rain) help to hide the weapons he has, because if Nolan finds out about them, he will believe that he was behind the explosion.

Nolan gets there a little bit later and Quentin claims that his father confessed to him that he was the one who put the bomb in the mines to kill the Ambassador.

After the death of the Ambassador, the Votanis Collective release Pilar (Linda Hamilton), Quentin's mother, who is happy to be back, and they will finally be a family again with Rafe and her children.

Kris from Movie Trailer Reviews gave the episode a B+ rating saying that the stories start to wrap up and come together but he thinks that killing Ambassador Tennety was a mistake and waste since the character was decent and with bigger potential.

"...the two [episodes] together felt like an intricate unfolding of relationships with a variety of changes for the principal characters to absorb and plenty of time to draw out the associated emotions.

[7] Billy Grifter of Den of Geek commented that the episode ended with two points of interest; the arrival of Rafe's bi-polar wife who appears more rational than expected and the unleash of the terrasphere by Irisa.
