Complete story — includes the ending
Ryan remains in shock over seeing Claire alive. Claire suggests she can lure Joe out if he finds out she's alive, but Ryan disagrees. Carrie interviews tele-evangalist preacher Kingston Tanner who has recently criticized Joe. Joe watches, telling Emma how he wishes to give Kingston a "Holy War". He sends Lucas, Angela, Tilda and Robert to find Carrie; they assault her guards as Joe calls her forcing her to broadcast another message, unless she and her love ones pay. Ryan receives the video from Carrie and watches it with Claire. They deduce Joe is going after Kingston's son, Preston. Ryan leaves with Mike and has Max stay back with Claire. Max tells Claire how Ryan has moved on, with Max expressing how Ryan nearly fell apart from Claire's fake death and how she wants what's best for him. Meanwhile, Mandy meets up with Mark, who asks for Joe's location, but Mandy says she can't tell. He takes her to Lily's home and still refusing to give Joe's location to Lily, Mark and Luke proceed to torture Mandy. Joe and Emma discover that Mandy left Korban to find Lily, leading Joe to call Lily wanting Mandy. Lily says she'll let Mandy go if Joe gives himself up, but he denies the offer by telling Mandy he loves her and then hanging up the phone. Lily and the twins kill Mandy while Joe blames Emma over her death. Robert and the others superglue masks on the college students of a fraternity, while Tilda kidnaps Preston. Mike and Ryan arrive and Mike kills Lucas during the ensuing battle. Ryan tells Mike to take care of Claire and Max before he follows Joe's followers back to the Korban compound. Carrie broadcasts Joe's message, then goes to Ryan's apartment and meets Claire, who says she can help Ryan by helping her. As Preston meets Joe at Korban, Ryan arrives as well.
