Casualties
Recap
Emily Byrne is drinking too much, shooting up, and still investigating the horrors that occurred at Barrett House because she believes that Laurie Coulon had an accomplice and they are still out there.
Det. Tommy Gibbs is helping her investigate. The two are sleeping together, although Emily clearly wants to keep it as just sex without emotional ties. They find a phone number on Emily’s old file of her history at Barrett House. It belongs to a B. McNair and has since the 1990s. The number leads to a trailer but the man says the number belonged to his “old lady’s” ex. Tommy gets the man’s fingerprints on a laminated business card to check him out.
A mystery man murders a HVAC repairman during a “robbery” to get his ID. Later, the man poisons everyone on a floor of the FEMA office with a mystery gas. When word gets out it causes mass panic.
Alice is stuck on a stopped subway train as passengers panic when they hear the news and force their way off the train and into the dark tunnels.
Nick is working the poisoning case and calls Emily to get Flynn from school. Emily has another panic attack in her bathroom, but Flynn doesn’t seem to realize it. Flynn is having his own issues dealing with his abduction, and the fact that Alice miscarried her baby. Flynn is seeing a therapist but he wets the bed at Emily’s.
At the FEMA office, a woman who appears to be dead suddenly wakes up screaming. Jack Byrne is one of the EMTs. When Alice escorts one of the subway riders to the hospital she runs into Jack who encourages her to come back to work as an EMT. Alice decides to do so which means that Emily and Flynn will be spending more time together.
At the FBI, Special Agent Julianne Gunnarson profiles the terrorist as most likely domestic and part of a group that believe the government is using FEMA to round up “patriots” and put them in concentration camps, but she has no idea what their next target will be.
Tommy gets the fingerprints from the mystery man in the trailer and he and Emily track him down again. But this time there’s a woman with him and she’s been following Emily. Her name is Valerie Chandris and she claim to be Emily’s mother.
