Summary: Five years ago, after the 7/15 incident, Reed becomes a mutant crimes prosecutor to protect his family. In the present, Reeva has Benedict Ryan send Jace's Purifiers to attack the Mutant Underground. The Frosts sneak in with Fade and force Andy and Lauren to leave with them. John distracts the Purifiers so the others can go after them. Erg appears and helps Johnny, giving Johnny the chance to have Jace at his mercy. The Frosts force Andy and Lauren to destroy the SS headquarters, killing many. Lorna is able to speak to Esme of their friendship, weakening the Frosts' grip, allowing Marcos to knock out Sophie and Phoebe and save Andy and Lauren. As the adults battle the Inner's Circle's recruits in the parking garage of their base, Caitlin kills Fade. Reed goes to confront Reeva alone. She turns her ability on him, which further destabilizes his already volatile powers-as he intended. He loses control of his powers and explodes, killing them both. Weeks later, Esme joins the group, forcing a confession out of Benedict Ryan. Jace is left in the hospital. Lorna and Marcos reunite with Dawn. The Struckers mourn Reed. Erg meets with them telling them mutants need new leadership; a new Mutant Underground. Clarice appears out of a portal-stating she must show them all something.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Struckers were highly affected by the 7-15 mutant attack. The kids were so scared that Reed decided to use his law degree in the fight against mutants. At the time his powers were dormant. Caitlin was nervous, but she knew that he needed to be a part of the fight. Reed felt it was the only way he could protect his family.
It kind of backfired because when Lauren's powers manifested, she had a hard time telling her parents. She believed Reed hated mutants so much, she was afraid he would arrest her too. Reed thinks she is afraid of the mutants. He tells her they can make a difference even after terrible things happen.
Caitlin overheard their conversation. She asks if he believes things happen for a reason. Reed says he thinks he has a role to play in the mutant situation to keep them all safe. He wishes he knew what it was.
Lorna tells the Mutant Underground about Reeva's plans. Marcos suggests that Andy and Lauren bring down the Inner Circle with their Fenris powers. Reed and Caitlin don't like it, but Andy and Lauren believe they have been preparing for this exact moment to stop Reeva.
The Frost sisters inform Reeva that Andy and Lorna went back to the Mutant Underground. Reeva says they will move forward with their plans. Lorna was supposed to take out the power grid on their targets. They can use explosives to take out the power grid, but Andy was supposed to destroy the Sentinel Services building. That will take some rethinking. Reeva calls Benedict Ryan saying she has a job for the Purifiers.
The MU is getting ready to leave for their attack on the Inner Circle. Reed is having more and more headaches. His powers are coming back and he doesn't have full control of them yet. Andy asks if he's okay and if he's still taking his medicine. Reed admits that he quit. Andy tells Reed that he's happy to be home. Reed says no matter what, Andy will always be his son.
John, Marcos, and Lorna go through some old mutant files. Lorna starts to feel guilty saying all of the mutant deaths was her fault. Marcos and John assure her that it's not, but Lorna feels really bad, especially about Clarice/Blink. Lorna apologizes and John makes her promise to fight. Marcos says its time to go, but John can sense trucks coming down the street. The Purifiers have arrived.
The Purifiers surround the apartment building and close the gate to the parking garage. Benedict reminds Jace that he's doing this for his daughter and all of the innocent people out there. The police were upset by Officer Wilson's death, so they will look the other way. This will allow the Purifiers to use any force necessary.
