Minx Kylie Rogers) has a nightmare four years earlier and Wes (Barry Sloane) teaches her 'twinkle, twinkle little star' which seemed appropriate under the circumstances as we're dealing with aliens.
Present day: Frommer David Andrews) is sure that Drill has gotten inside of Minx but Wes tries to convince him otherwise. Of course that was opportune for Drill as he uses Minx as a scapegoat and yet more revenge for Lena's betrayal in trying to take Minx away. However Frommer thinks Claire (Lily Rabe) can be of more help if she speaks with her. Minx is in solitary with gloves on and is restrained. Claire removes her gloves and as we know Minx is aware that whatever she says will just lead them to suspect her more.
Daniel (Tom Butler) speaks with Jessup (Derek Webster) and Sean (Milo Ventimiglia) and thinks Drill has something to do with the government's nuclear plans and wants to write the story. Claire wants Henry (Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) to tell her his version and if it was Minx who grabbed Cassandra's (Kayden Magnuson) arm and he's positive of what he saw. Silas (Teo Briones) tells Wes and Claire that he saw Minx with Maria on the night she was killed and the activity on her computer shows that the final note she made was deleted and this was to do with Minx. Claire is convinced that Minx is hosting Drill and Wes knows she's wrong and he's right. He isn't just concerned as her father but cos he knows it can't be her and yet Claire doesn't give her the benefit of the doubt. So much for being concerned about them both. Seems she was more interested in saving Henry.
Sean and Jessup need to find away to convince Daniel to break the story so that the government must check their facts and what is happening, thus delaying the deadline for the press conference. Wes visits Minx and tries to calm her also recalling the poem again. She can't recall it all and also realizes he's testing her, reminding him he's her father and he must believe her. Minx knows Henry can hear her in the next room and pleads with Henry to tell Claire she's not Drill. Frommer however is convinced cos of Claire and takes Minx away, urging the president (Martin Cummins) to deal with her, as they didn't deal with Nicholas. Claire and Wes are removed from the facility and Frommer is going to use the EMP device to kill Drill. The children are removed and Minx is strapped to a table. Claire makes it to the Whitehouse to get to the president as he prepares for a press conference.
Sean and Jessup mention Orion to Daniel and he tells them all the president's family have code names and Orion is Cassandra. Oberon is the president and Olympia is the first lady. Wes tries to get to Minx and Claire realizes the press conference is what Drill wanted all along as he's going to use the live feed to send a message/signal. Claire is stopped by the Secret Service before she reaches the president. Cassandra faces the camera and screams thus sending out the signal via the live broadcast. Wes reaches Minx in time and Frommer stops the EMP from being used. Cassandra tells Claire she's not going anywhere and Wes and Minx say the poem again when she was younger after she had a nightmare.
This episode seemed like a filler to the final episode and very little was done in terms of plot. By now we know Drill wants to send out a message and contact the others, that was part of his entire purpose for being here. As well as this, it also proves to be a testing ground for Wes and how he will do anything to save Minx especially since he doesn't have anyone on his side anymore. Even Claire deserts him in many ways by convincing herself and Frommer that Minx is Drill without a moment's hesitation. As long as Henry was okay that's all that mattered. Even Henry didn't do anything to advocate Minx's case and it's really hard to believe him when he says he saw Minx cos there was quite a lot happening and really anyone could've grabbed Cassandra's hand. So much for Henry being Minx's friend. Drill also fooling the president when he says in his speech that his daughter told him to be brave. Especially when those words came from Drill!
