Complete story — includes the ending
Mark and Luke escape after hearing of their mother's death, swearing vengeance on Mike, Ryan, and Joe. Max and Ryan lie to Clarke over Lily's death to ensure Mike doesn't face charges. Ryan later confronts Claire over her message to Joe and the two share a kiss. Joe sends his followers out to capture Kingston while having Robert and Emma track down Claire, admitting the message Carrie broadcast was a poem he and Claire made together that only they knew about. Angela arrives at Kingston's home and sets herself on fire to lure Kingston out as Joe's men take him. Ryan and Mike follow them to a church where Joe and the others hold everyone inside hostage. Claire is prepared to be sent home, but escapes after utilizing some of Ryan's weapons. She goes to the hotel she was going to meet with Joe, but finds Emma instead. As Robert subdues her, Emma betrays Robert and kills him and goes after Claire. The two engage in a violent struggle with Claire killing Emma by stabbing her and throwing her out of a third-story window. The twins show up and take Claire hostage. At the church, Joe has everything video taped and forces Kingston to admit there is no God. Even after that, Joe forces son and father to kill one another, to which Kingston takes his own life rather than kill his son. Ryan and Mike enter the church, but Mike reveals himself to Joe after Joe threatens to shoot Preston. Joe tells Ryan to show himself or he'll kill Mike, proceeded by a gunshot.
