At a nearby building, Yorick comes upon a candlelit procession of women that leads to an abbey.
Agent 355 and Mann join this ritual.
They take refuge in a nearby church, where Yorick demands answers.
Mann retorts, “This isn’tHome Alone.
This is Waco.”
At the Hall of Heroes shrine, Kimberley and Regina bond over their right-wing views.
Regina says her mother used to believe the world would be better if it were run by women.
She voted for Reagan just to annoy her mom and then never stopped being a Republican.
Yorick wakes in the middle of the night and spies Agent 355 in the loft.
He coaxes her away from the ledge.
Then a makeshift alarm sounds, compelling Roxanne and her minions to grab weapons and prepare for intruders.
On the roof beside an armed Laura, Nora watches Roxanne greet these interlopers.
The strangers are an unthreatening family of survivors, but Roxanne refuses to take them in.
Once they move on, Laura tells Nora, “We’re lucky to be here.
It’s much worse out there.”
Mann wants Yorick to flee with her to San Francisco and leave Agent 355 behind.
He refuses, and she chides him for his crush on the soldier.
Nora visits Roxanne and apologizes for earlier, bringing her tea as a figurative fig leaf.
Roxanne reveals her nude torso, which is missing a breast presumably due to cancer.
She thanks Nora for the tea but scolds her for acting pathetic.
“The world ended.
It’s okay to be yourself,” she advises.
They say Roxanne saved their lives and that “she can save yours too.”
Sitting on his bunk, Sam is approached by Kelsey (Samantha Brown), who’s very flirty.
She admits she loves men probably too much.
She whispers that there’s a “funeral” tonight.
That evening, a ceremony takes place with Laura at its center.
She then gets into a bathtub, where she’s baptized, emerging as the newly named Athena.
Sam bolts from this “weird” nonsense, but Hero remains, entranced.
Kelsey tracks down Sam and warns him to keep quiet about his doubts about the group.
Agent 355 tells Yorick to hide in the basement.
From around a Pentagon hallway corner, Christine spies on Kimberley and Regina.
Kimberley spots her and brings up the pregnancy.
Christine wants her condition to remain secret since she’s not sure she wants to keep the baby.
She’s brought up to speed about the operation, and they listen to it take place live.
Agent 355 takes out her opponents with some help from Mann.
With the mission a failure, Jennifer and Regina have it out.
Jennifer censures that notion, saying they don’t have to be enemies.
Jennifer dares her to do so.
She says everyone likes Hero, and they want her to stay.
Hero states that she’s not a good person and confesses to murdering Mike.
She promises that if Hero remains, she can be whomever she wants to be.
Nora is awakened by crying.
