After a moment, Lilly and Clarice go through the portal.

Now

Clarice wakes up and realizes that John is at the computer working. he says that Evangeline is coming and he has a lot of work to do, and Clarice closes off his computer, kisses him, and tells him to come to bed.

Marcos and Lorna discuss what they saw, and Marcos says that it's too dangerous for Lorna to go back to the Inner Circle. Lorna wonders who will stop the terror attack that Reeva is planning, and Marcos says that Evangeline will handle it. Despite that, Lorna says that she has to stop it and Marcos tells her to be careful.

The next day at the apartment, Evangeline meets with the group. She says that they have to make sure not to expose Lorna to keep her alive. Lauren asks how they'll stop them, and Evangeline says that they'll meet with the Underground leaders. When she tells Clarice to bring the Morlocks in, Clarice says that Erg isn't interested but Evangeline explains that she saved his life in Dallas years ago and he'll come.

At the Inner Circle HQ, Lorna goes to the training room and finds the three trainees practicing their abilities. She demonstrates her own magnetism and Heather reminds Max that they're not supposed to talk about their secret mission. Max considers telling Lorna anyway, but Heather calls him away and the three recruits leave.

After Caitlin exercises, she says that they have to do more and approach her brother Daniel Reynolds. His firm keeps group on all of the extremist groups. Reed reminds her that the government believes that they're dead and will monitor Daniel's calls. and Caitlin figures that they can go in person. Lauren comes in and says that she's going with her, and Caitlin figures that Daniel will help them despite their previous differences.

Back in her room, Lauren checks Andreas' letter in the music box. She translates it from German, and discovers that it says that Andrea and Andrea hope that the reader will succeed in freeing their people from bondage. He explains that Fenris has two sides constantly in conflict, and they must embrace their opposing forces to become whole.

Lauren dozes off and dreams of meeting with Andy. She tells him that he's going down a dark path and needs to stop, and says that she knows a lot about Fenris. Andy asks if she's going to try and stop him, and Lauren says that she's stronger now. She launches an attack at him and Andy destroys her first two disks.

He explains that he and his sister have shared dreams and it's been going on for a few months. Andy explains that Lauren is stronger, and Esme warns that it's not safe to have Lauren loose. The Frosts offer to help him bring Lauren to them by telepathically reaching her through him. Andy isn't sure, and Esme tells him to think about it.

John, Clarice, and Marcos go to meet Erg outside of a sewer pipe. Erg comes out and John explains that they're there to take him to the summit. The Morlock leader abruptly says that they should take him to the meeting, and Marcos calls Reed and confirms that only a few cell leaders will be there. Once Reed hangs up, he glances over at the music box in Lauren's room, goes over, and opens it. He remembers finding it as a child in the family house, playing the same song. His hand glows with h is mutant power, and Reed knocks the music box to the floor. The glow fades, and Reed discovers that the secret compartment has opened. He takes out Andreas' letter and stares at it.

Lauren and Caitlin drive to the church Daniel frequents, and he finally comes out. Caitlin approaches him on her own and he's shocked to see her alive after the government reported her dead. She tells him to calm down and asks for his help.

As John and the others drive Erg to the summit, Clarice thanks Erg for helping them. Erg says that Evangeline didn't give her a choice, and says that Evangeline left out some of the story. He explains that the two of them founded the Underground together, working together to protect their people. A human ally betrayed them and slaughtered a group of mutants that they were moving across the border. They disagreed about what to do next, and Erg says that Evangeline made it clear that if the Morlocks didn't join them, she would expose them. John says that it's all mutants fight, but Erg says that it's suicide and he just wants to protect the Morlocks.
