After a successful firing of the rail gun, Darius holds a press conference at which a COPE reporter commits suicide. An investigation of COPE highlights that they have been buying weapons. Alycia is asked to help find Bass Shepherd using her RE/SYST contacts. She refuses, but is persuaded by Grace. Alonzo gets a tip off on a possible sighting of a COPE location, and goes to investigate. He informs Harris, who uses satellite footage which confirms that Jillian and Zoe are there, but Bass has gone. The FBI are then sent and both Harris and Grace follow. Alonzo, believing that a mass suicide is about to happen, goes up to the house. Indicating that he is looking for Jillian and Zoe he enters, but is shot by Nora. Alycia starts getting help from RE/SYST. But when TV news about the COPE location appears on the internet, she is doxxed by RE/SYST who say she is a traitor for working with the US government. Grace enters the house, and with Jillian's help she manages to get Zoe and Alonzo out. Harris and the FBI then assault the house, but Nora escapes with Jillian. Darius realises that the rail gun is the target of attack. He orders Dr. Rosetta Stendahl to shut down the rail gun, and evacuate the site. Nate manages to get into the control room, infecting the computer with a virus which causes the rail gun to be destroyed killing Dr. Rosetta Stendahl and Nate.

After the destruction of the rail gun, riots erupt around the country. Darius resigns as the president, and puts in motion a plan to ram "Salvation" against the asteroid. Jillian is held captive by Bass Shepherd. She confronts him about the destruction of the rail gun, but he blames her because she gave him the information. Harris and Grace look at buying a bunker, but they can't afford it. But in a meeting, Harris finds out he may be able to save Grace and Zoe. Darius makes a deal with Nicholas to get his meteorite for use with the EM drives. A problem is found with the rail gun slugs already fired putting in doubt ramming the asteroid. Nicholas requests a meeting with Darius, about saving Grace and Zoe, but instead kidnaps him. Jillian escapes and manages to phone Liam, but the phone dies just as she sees Darius with Nicholas.

As Harris prepares to launch a nuclear missile at the asteroid as a last-ditch, best-case-scenario option, a badly injured Darius acts on a hunch to prove that their best course of action is to do nothing. Just seconds before the nuke is launched, Darius convinces Harris to abort the launch by revealing that the object is not an asteroid. Moments later, the still unidentified spherical object comes to a halt, hovering "like a hummingbird" between the Earth and the Moon.
