While Anne is treating a young boy, his father robs the infirmary of medical supplies. The father, son, and the son's mother flee shortly afterwards. Tom, Weaver, and Mike give chase. Weaver acquiesces in allowing the family to leave the group. Along the way, they meet Terry Clayton (Henry Czerny) who is the leader of the 7th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. He alleges his entire unit was wiped out by both Skitters and Mechs. Meanwhile, Hal notices subtle changes in Ben’s physical and dexterity development. Hal confides in Anne; he's witnessed Ben performing 102 push-ups, and his demeanor seemed out of character. Later that evening, a Mech performs a ‘feign attack’ at the defensive post guarded by Jimmy and Parker. Parker is killed, and Jimmy flees inside the school--unaware he has been pursued by a Skitter who has penetrated the encampment. Ultimately, Weaver comes to Jimmy's rescue, killing the Skitter. The next day, with grudging compliance of the parents, Terry leads the children to his encampment. Terry is later exposed as an enemy collaborator, exchanging children for his personal survival. Pope is Terry's prisoner.
