Complete story — includes the ending
Hardy, Parker, and Weston seek out a militia leader with ties to Carroll's cult. Meanwhile, Joe has hit a roadblock with his book as he struggles to understand what motivates Hardy, and takes Jacob and Vincent to kill the militia leader before he can talk. While Claire tries to escape with Joey, they are blocked by various followers and Roderick puts an ankle monitor on her. Afterwards, Claire discovers Joe's book and is reunited with Emma, which turns sour and results in the two physically fighting. Mike is held hostage by Joe while Debra is held by Jacob. Joe questions what motivated Ryan into saving people and discovers it was because of his father's death. The duo escape and return home, only for it to turn sour for Joe as he discovers Claire having read his book and expresses her disdain of it. Ryan and the FBI are then greeted by the local Sheriff, Tim Nelson (Roderick).
