On a bus to New York, Nolan (Grant Bowler) escorts Rynn (Tiio Horn) to prison, while Amanda carries money raised by the town to pay for a mag-rail spur to Defiance.

Her plan was to steal the money Defiance had gathered to force the town to take Earth Republic's funding for the spur.

In Defiance, Olfin boards the next bus to New York in handcuffs; however, her supposed police escort immediately releases her as they depart.

In the meantime, in Defiance, Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) kidnaps a Castithan (Ben Cotton) because she believes he is the one who tortured her as a child.

Tommy (Dewshane Williams) sees Irisa's strange behavior, follows her and finds the captive Castithan.

"[3] Lisa Macklem from Spoiler TV said that "the “stagecoach” storyline was really much too predictable to be effective" but she enjoyed the teasing between Nolan and Amanda.
