After spending the night together, Joe and Lily discuss Lily's idea of moving everyone to another one of her homes in Venezuela, to which Joe hesitantly agrees. Ryan invites Weston to bring the FBI to Connecticut, where he and Max have been tracking Lily's group. Weston however comes alone; He, Ryan and Max capture Luke at a field near Lily's estate. Ryan proposes a trade with Lily, offering Luke in exchange for Joe. Lily agrees with the plan. Lily however drugs Joe unconscious, then accompanied by Mark, brings a hostage instead for the exchange. Max lets Luke go in exchange for Lily's captive being released, unharmed. Lily, Mark, and Luke run off to the estate as Weston and Max chase after them. Outside Lily's estate Ryan encounters one of her other sons, proceeding to stab and kill him. Inside, Emma and Mandy are able to arouse Joe in order to escape the house as Ryan is closing in. Lily's daughter attempts to stop them from escaping, and is killed. Ryan makes it into the house just as Joe, Emma, & Mandy are leaving from a window. Joe stares Ryan down before they escape. Weston catches up with Luke and shoots him. Believing it too late to save Luke, Lily and Mark drive off. Luke however has a bulletproof vest, and Weston beats him up, leaving him bloody and unconscious. Meanwhile the FBI blocks an airplane from departing, believed to have Joe inside. The pilot however reports that Joe and the girls left the plane after he had gotten a phone call. Ryan tells Mendez he saw Joe alive and he was the man in the plane, which Mendez claims she will handle on her own, also announcing that Max and Weston have now lost their jobs for their involvement. Ryan, Max, and Weston conclude that somebody from the FBI must be compromised and feeding Joe information. Emma gets a call from Lily, which Joe answers and expresses his contempt with Lily's news of Luke's supposed death, causing Lily to have an emotional breakdown.
