Complete story — includes the ending
A flashback shows Claire in the hospital, with Weston and Turner telling her the plan to put her into witness protection and not tell anyone that she is alive, including Ryan. In present day, Weston catches Claire up on everything and she expresses interest in helping find Joe instead of letting witness protection move her, but Weston insists she stays safe. At Korban, Robert introduces Joe to a group (Mallory, Lucas, Patrick, and Tilda) who have volunteered to be the next messengers. Tilda picks out her choice of first victim and Lucas kills the man. They later kill another innocent family. At both murders, they leave behind a note saying "no redemption without blood." With the help of Carrie, Ryan gets the message out to Joe that the FBI has captured Dr. Strauss and he is cooperating. This leads Joe to call Jana, but Ryan answers her phone as the FBI unsuccessfully tries to track down Joe's location. Flashbacks show a younger Joe as he was first mentored by Dr. Strauss, where Strauss revealed more about Joe's past: Joe was sent to America by his uncle after his parents both died. Back at Korban, Emma and Mandy argue after Mandy walked out of a gathering with Joe and other Korban members. Mallory and Patrick later go to a restaurant that Mallory was previously fired from to make their next murder. FBI shows up after Max tips Ryan off about Mallory. Ryan tries to get information about where Joe is out of Mallory, but Patrick slits her throat before being shot dead. Joe anoints Tilda and Lucas once they return from their mission. Carrie and Ryan fool around again after Carrie tries to convince Ryan that he's making progress, professionally and personally. Claire tells Turner that she refuses to go to Arizona, and instead wants to see Ryan.
