Nolan (Grant Bowler), with Tommy's (Dewshane Williams) help, searches for Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) who has disappeared after escaping from Doctor Yewll's (Trenna Keating) office.

Following her tracks, they find her with the Spirit Riders praying for Sukar's (Noah Danby) recovery and Rynn (Tiio Horn) having treated her injuries.

Datak (Tony Curran) and Stahma (Jamie Murray) go to cast their vote and they meet Amanda (Julie Benz) and Kenya (Mia Kirshner) there.

The ship carries a weapon capable of killing an entire species, and it is the real reason E-Rep is interested in Defiance.

The election results are announced naming Datak as mayor, and E-Rep immediately moves in to the mines.

At the mines E-Rep realizes that the keys have fused completely with Irisa's body, and they force Yewll to remove them.

As Yewll prepares to operate, Nolan, Tommy and a freed Rafe (Graham Greene) fight the E-Rep soldiers.

Irisa agrees and enters the ancient Votan ship, using its power to bring Nolan back to life while she disappears inside it.

His search is cut short as he discovers the E-Rep army moving into Defiance, announcing that they are now in control of the city.

"[4] Lisa Macklem from Spoiler TV stated that many questions had been answered, but many more were asked, leaving her wanting more much sooner than June 2014.
