Yet more questions and few answers, Mister Smith is here yet he is not. Kurdy is scared yet fearless, Jeremiah is weak yet strong. we see a father and son reunited only to be thrust apart. we learn more about Valhala Sector and their evil plans.

While held captive at Valhalla Sector he briefly meets the military people there and is introduced to the president and Jeremiah asks "President of What".

Kurdy is still not speaking to Jeremiah. Marcus sends Jeremiah and Libby(since she is the only one who knows the people there) to a camp where the members of the St. Louis gathering. Libby reports back and Kurdy leads the attack on the camp. They rescue everyone, but the leader escapes and heads east to find the mysterious Daniel. Marcus leaves Jeremiah in charge of the camp and the nearby village.

Markus struggles to achieve consensus among the factions that could re-build the country. He sends Kurdy with a new partner to rescue some of the delegates who have fallen into very tough hands.

Jeremiah prepares for an awkward reunion with his father, Devon. Libby gives Jeremiah a letter from his father written years ago. In it he explains what happened the day he and his wife disappeared.

While Kurdy tries to unravel the mysteries that surround Mister Smith, Jeremiah has a "High Noon" encounter with the citizens of Milhaven when some of Daniel's disciples storm into town.

Adam comes to Milhaven to kill Jeremiah and nearly succeeds, sending Jeremiah, Kurdy and Mister Smith on a dangerous mission into one of Daniel's strongholds.

Thunder Mountain is bringing new towns into the Alliance, drawing Daniel's attention and bringing Mister Smith a vision too awful to contemplate.

Wanting to savor his dish of vengeance while it's hot, Jeremiah joins Markus and Kurdy in a sting to smoke out Daniel's raiders. In Milhaven, Mister Smith gives Erin a disquieting message from God.

God tells Smith that he, Kurdy, Jeremiah, and Marcus will each be granted one miracle if they turn up at the appointed place at the appointed time.

Was the past the best of times or the worst of times? It depends on whose past. Kurdy has to trust Lee when he returns to a town and a load of trouble he left behind while Jeremiah is imprisoned in an idealized replica of the days before the Big Death.

Big Death survivor Frederick Monash knows something important and Devon, it seems, knows him. Thunder Mountain wants to find Monash before Daniel's forces can kill him and Jeremiah wants to know if he can ever really trust his own father.

Jeremiah joins Kurdy and Mister Smith on what should be a simple job to deliver radios to nearby towns. It is not; Daniel's forces have plans for those radios and towns that could bring disaster to the Alliance.

Mister Smith shows Jeremiah and Kurdy a refuge for children who will need protection if war comes, which seems inevitable as Daniel's forces surround Thunder Mountain. The key to victory may lie in the revelation of secrets. (Part 1 of 2)

A painful truth sets Jeremiah's course while Sims prepares to attack the Alliance. Markus and Kurdy must combat enemy forces outside and within Thunder Mountain itself to protect a future worth living in. (Part 2 of 2)
