The 2nd Mass struggle with Lexi's presence in the area, believing it may be a trap. Tom does not want anything more to do with her and asks her to leave, but Anne tells him to give her a chance. Lexi tells Anne that she's sorry and admits that she was wrong about the Espheni and that she wants to make up for her mistakes. She then offers to join Tom on the mission to which Anne initially refuses but is convinced by Weaver to allow her. Faced with mistrust from all sides, Lexi joins Tom on the Beamer and unbeknownst to her, Hal gives Tom a poison to use on her just in case. As the Beamer leaves the Earths atmosphere Lexi and Tom realize that there isn't enough power to maintain life support both ways, Lexi suggests that she and Tom enter a cocoon together and tells him that it is a form of stasis. During the dream, Tom is back on Earth and seemingly the power core is destroyed and the Espheni are on the back foot, however he becomes suspicious when things are too perfect and quickly realizes that what he is seeing is not real. He then demands that Lexi release him from the dream, however she is unsure how. As they have a father-daughter moment and bond over what issues they had, they try once again and awaken and notice that they are close to the moon.
