At night, Virginia and the Pioneers interrogate Sarah (Mo Collins), Daniel Salazar (Ruben Blades), Grace (Karen David), Luciana (Danay García) and Wes (Colby Hollman) about Morgan’s whereabouts.

Virginia orders Hill to leave with Grace and Daniel as hostages. Morgan captures Virginia and escapes with her.
The next day, Morgan treats Virginia's wound and tells her he plans to keep her alive to trade for Grace and Daniel. Virginia reveals to Morgan that Dakota is actually her daughter. Later, Sherry (Christine Evangelista) and her masked group arrive in the SWAT truck, forcing Morgan and Virginia to flee. Virginia’s injury makes running difficult, and Sherry catches her. Morgan tells Sherry they cannot kill Virginia as he needs her for his friends. Sherry reluctantly lets them leave.
Morgan brings Virginia to his settlement and tells Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey), Dwight (Austin Amelio), Althea (Maggie Grace) and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) to keep Virginia safe. However, Strand, the rebel Pioneers, and the masked group arrive, demanding justice from Morgan. Virginia accepts her fate and tells Morgan she’ll free Grace and Daniel if Morgan kills her himself.

Alicia and Morgan informs Virginia that she and Dakota are being exiled and will be killed if they return.

David S.E. Zapanta from Den of Geek! rated the episode 3.5 out of 5 and wrote: "It is a busy episode, with lots of competing factions and changes of heart and reunions and partings. Morgan is at the center of the action, of course, and Lennie James works his usual magic with the kind of complex moral dilemmas that have long been Fear's bread and butter." [6] In a positive review, Erik Kain of Forbes said: "All told, this was a pretty decent episode. I didn’t like Virginia as a character and the Rangers/Pioneers are ridiculous from top to bottom so I’m glad to see her gone and her organization decimated." [4]
