Summary: Three years ago, Marcos, Lorna and Johnny all promise to be there for each other when it matters most. In the present, as Jace interrogates Johnny at a Purifier compound, the Mutant Underground reluctantly asks Lorna for the Inner Circle's help in rescuing him. Lorna and Andy find the compound and join the Underground to assist. Andy's parents are happy to see him and tell him about Reed's powers, though Lauren does not trust him. Jace believes the Underground has been behind the mutant uprising but pauses to consider Johnny's claim that Andy and Lorna left for the unsubstantiated Inner Circle-until he sees Lorna and Marcos attack the compound together. Believing Johnny has lied, he becomes enraged and shoots him with a shotgun multiple times. Jace flees before Clarice, Andy and Lauren arrive to rescue Johnny. On the way out of the compound, Andy delights in torturing a Purifier who tried to shoot Lauren, disgusting his family when he says they deserve to be wiped out. Caitlin determines they must destroy the Inner Circle to get him back. Lorna kisses Marcos goodbye but claims it does not change anything between them. Clarice reaffirms her love for the wounded Johnny. The Strucker siblings train, separately, to increase their powers.

Three years ago, John, Marcos, and Lorna are playing pool. John tells them that he knows they are in a relationship. He says he's happy for them, but they can't have any secrets from each other. Once they get the mutant underground started, it's important that they always have each other's back. Everyone agrees.
In the present, Lauren and Andy share a dream. Andy needs to talk to Lauren, but she's afraid of him. She reminds Andy that he attacked her the last time they saw each other. Lauren says Andy made a choice when he joined the Inner Circle. He says that's not what's bothering him, but Lauren says the only way to get his family back is to come home. She shuts the door on him and he blasts it open.
Lauren wakes up in the back of the car. She tells Reed and Caitlin about her dream. Caitlin says she will have to be stronger in the dreams, so that she doesn't get hurt. Marcos calls to tell the Struckers that the Purifiers have John. When they get back to DC, the group discusses the best way to get John back. Marcos suggest calling for Lorna's help. The group agrees, no one wants the Inner Circle involved, but they have resources and the group needs more fire power. It may be the best chance of getting John back.
Lorna and Andy are watching Benedict Ryan's show as he tells lies about what mutants are capable of. Andy says the only way to deal with fake journalism is to force them to tell the truth. Lorna gets a call from Fade, but it's really Marcos. He tells Lorna to meet him if she wants Fade back. And the Purifiers have John.
Marcos puts Fade in the trunk of his car. Clarice wants to go with him, basically because she blames herself for John's capture. Marcos convinces her to stay, saying if something goes wrong, she will be John's only help. Clarice agrees and tells him not to screw anything up. Marcos meets Lorna and asks for her help finding John. Lorna is sorry, but says there's nothing she can do. Marcos reminds her of the promise they made to always help each other.
The Purifiers take John to a secret location. Turner greets him, saying he's been after John for years now. John tries to break the chains tied around him, but the chains are too strong. He ask Turner what he plans to do with him. Turner plans on making John talk. There is a war going on and John is on the wrong side. Turner is determined to end the Mutant Underground so the killing stops. He thinks the Mutant Underground is responsible for the deaths at the bank. John insists that the MU did not do that, but Turner doesn't believe him. Turner knows about John's super hearing, so he puts on headphones with loud heave metal for John to enjoy.
