- Having successfully torched the warehouse containing the the Visitor's supply of R6, the Visitor security officer has already attacked Father Jack and is now after Erica. She also decides to try and recruit Kyle Hobbes, a soldier of fortune and weapons expert, who has is wanted by the FBI, to train them into a fighting force. Ryan is concerned about Valerie's pregnancy, particularly since Visitors and Humans were supposedly unable to procreate. Valerie is worried about the pregnancy and wants to see a doctor right away. Erica is worried about Tyler who is spending a night aboard the Visitors' spaceship. He is still enamored with them - and Lisa in particular - but it is clear that Anna is looking for something specific in his memories that will bind Tyler to them. Anna is also worried that Chad hasn't taken up their offer of treating his aneurysm and sets the wheels in motion to get him on their side. Anna also decides that they need soldiers immediately and since the Visitors' army won't arrive for some time, she decides to make one.—garykmcd

- "V" - "Welcome to the War" - March 30, 2010
We pick up where we left off, with Father Jack having just been stabbed. He's taken to a V healing center.
Erica leaves Brandon a phone message saying she knows Tyler is on the V ship and he's not answering. She eyes a picture of them in better times in the living room. The same dude that stabbed Jack attacks her. She shoots, stabs, and whacks him with a frying pan. He falls, only briefly and grabs her again. This time she stabs him but good.
In the morning Valerie is making her third omelet and she's freaked out about her appetite. Ryan tells her that it isn't an average pregnancy. She asks what that means. He says, um, your heart condition baby. She thinks she feels the baby move and wonders how this is possible at only six weeks. She's got an OB appointment next week, Ryan seems nervous. Erica calls him and tells him about the attack and Tyler. Ryan comes over and IDs him as the guard from the V warehouse they torched. She asks if he's heard from Jack. Nope. She worries that they're out there searching for the guard. Ryan says he acted alone, trying to clean up his mess before facing Anna. She wants to charge off to the V ship. Ryan says that's a bad idea. He says he's trying to help. Erica says help would be losing the body.
On the V ship Lisa has Tyler's phone as he undergoes some weird V procedure, floating in a cylinder. Anna tells Lisa to blow Erica off until they get what they need from him. He can only have one family after all.
Erica storms to the V center to get Tyler, but he refuses to go home. He claims he's safe and wonders if this is because she doesn't trust the V's. She claims she was worried that he stayed out all night. He says he's not a kid anymore and he'll be home for dinner. She goes to grab him and the image disappears. She's told she was speaking to a hologram and as long as Tyler is a guest on the ship she has nothing to fear.
Chad Decker reports on the destruction of most of New York's flu vaccine in a warehouse.
On the mothership Anna is annoyed at the news but her main toady Marcus says nothing can lead authorities back to them. She tells him to do an investigation and give a tip to the FBI: hand them a villain and some closure. Marcus worries that if the Fifth Column is involved there may be informants on other ships. She says they have to crush them before they become a greater threat. Marcus says they need an army to do that and the fleet she sent for is still on its way. She says she will make him an army.
Erica complains to Ryan. He says there's nothing they can do right now. She should go to work and stay close to the warehouse investigation. She asks again about Jack. Nothing, but Georgie is looking for him. He's going to take the R6 compound to a V doctor and see what's in it. She tells him to find Jack.
Cut to Jack in a great deal of pain being worked on, his wound slowly being closed up. His fellow priest looks on approvingly. Jack sees them grab some R6 and inject it into him. He passes out.
Ryan gives his V doctor the R6 to look over. He's also there because he wants to ask about Val's pregnancy. The doctor is stunned. They didn't think they could procreate with humans. She says she figured nature and faith found a way. He's worried that her heart condition won't allow her to handle it. He admits she doesn't know he's a V. She says if Anna finds out, he, Valerie and the baby will never be safe.
Anna tells Joshua the doctor that the captains of the 29 ships are sending their best soldiers and he should look them over. She asks about the status of the R6. There's still plenty in the healing centers and she says to keep giving it to the humans there. He points out that a lot of humans are afraid to go in them. She says she'll gain their trust by luring in someone they trust.
Cut to Chad looking pensive. At a regular doctor he says his CT scan shows no problem. He says the V's say it will develop. The doctor says even if it did, the problem would be inoperable. Chad wonders if he should let the Vs heal him. The doctor says they don't know the long-term effects yet of the Vs methods. Chad is pensive again.
Georgie goes to the elder father looking for Jack who spills that he was stabbed and taken to a V healing center. Georgie no like.
Erica's boss says no evidence was turned up at the warehouse, such was the heat of the fire. He calls in Malick, head of the V task force, to Erica's consternation. The V's arrive saying they have a device that will show them who blew up the warehouse. Marcus apologizes about Tyler and says they're here to help with finding the cuplrits. The Vs have a fancy gadget that recreates the explosion. He says he can also tell them who did it. He has fingerprints on some C4. They run them and come up with Kyle Hobbes. A big-time most-wanted type mercenary. If it pans out it will be a big win for the FBI. Boss gets all hand on deck.
Erica shows the file to Ryan and he wonders what this guy has to do with them. Erica has the crazy idea of using Hobbes to recruit for the resistance. She is scared and feels helpless. Ryan wonders how they find Hobbes. She says her former partner Dale spent 7 years with the counter terrorist division and his hard drive could help. She thinks Anna chose him for a reason, maybe he's also dangerous to the Vs too and not just a patsy. Ryan says this will be crossing a line they won't be able to cross back. Erica's cool with that saying that since Anna has Tyler she will cross all necessary lines to "blow that bitch out of the sky."
Marcus reports that the FBI took the bait. Anna wonders where they are in finding those actually responsible. He says they're on it. She says "good then I'll eviscerate them."
On the ship Anna offers Chad some fugu. She wonders why he mentioned the rumors about V involvement in the warehouse bombing. He says it's part of the story and he's a reporter. She notes he hasn't run his piece on the V healing center yet. She says it's important to him as is he and she asks why he won't let the Vs heal him. He says he's fine and you can't diagnose the future. She says it's real and wonders why she won't let her help him. He says she always want something. She says he does too. She tells him to run the piece. He asks what will happen if he doesn't. She says sinister stuff about the fear of living with the concept of sudden death.
Father Jack wakes with a start. Erica, Georgie, and Ryan say he's healed. Jack says something is wrong with him. He says he can feel the R6 inside him. Suddenly his skin starts changing. Then he really wakes up to just Georgie who wants them to hotfoot it out of there.
Erica does research on Kyle Hobbes. She goes to a house and shows her badge to a video camera. A man on the other end grabs a gun. She heads up the stairs to a sparse loft workspace. She and Hobbes confront each other with guns. Ryan backs her up. Hobbes asks who she is. She replies she's his only chance for a future.
Erica exposits how she found him via Dale's files. She tells him about his prints on the bomb in the warehouse. He scoffs at this and tells them to prove that he's being set up. She calls her boss Paul with a tip that she thinks she found Hobbes' location. She hangs up and tells Hobbes that he can either take off with them or get busted by the FBI. The FBI busts in and there's no one there. They just missed him. Erica pulls up and asks where he is. Paul says gone, someone tipped him off.
On the V ship Tyler is still on the floaty bed and we see what he's seeing all sorts of vision and memories of his mom and his childhood. Lisa watches. Anna asks if they found what they're looking for. Lisa says there's so much. Anna says human memories contain emotion not just information which is why they're hard to interpret. Lisa wonders why they're memories aren't like that. Anna says it's because they're minds are efficient and not burdened by emotion. We see nice and sad memories from Christmas to his dad leaving. Anna says they have to get Tyler to calm Erica's fears and loosen her bond with him and then Lisa will be free to fulfill her destiny. Lisa likes this.
Tyler tells Anna and Lisa that he loved being in the memory chamber. Anna tells Tyler to go home to tell Erica that he'll be fine. He's starting his own life and she won't lose him like she lost Tyler's dad.
At the church Jack, Ryan, Georgie, and Erica try to convince Hobbes to work with them. He says he's not interested in any cause. They all explain they have a personal stake in this war and that the Vs are here to annihilate them. Hobbes is like yeah, yeah, show me the money or I'm walking. Ryan says he will show him the truth instead: that Vs may look and sound like you but they are not. He pulls back his eye and shows his real V lizard eye. Erica also points out that the Vs framed Hobbes, isn't he curious why. Erica gets a message that Tyler is on his way home for dinner. Jack comes in and Erica says she got the guy who stabbed him. He asks after Tyler. She says he's okay. She asks after him. He says he's fine. She asks if he's lying. He admits he feels like something has changed inside him. She says they're all changing, she just made a deal with the devil (Hobbes) and she doesn't know what she's thinking. He says she's thinking about protecting the ones she loves. As she leaves Jack says it's good to see a friend.
Ryan goes back to the doctor and she tells him that to a human test it would appear to be a saline shot but with V technology she learned that it's a molecular compound that embeds itself in human DNA and sends out a wavelength. Ryan realizes it's sort of a high tech tagging device. The doctor says she hasn't told anyone and neither should Ryan.
Joshua looks over many people looking over screens with candidates for the R6 trial, including Father Jack.
Chad runs his report on the V healing centers. He admits his diagnosis and says he is taking the healing cure. Anna likes. Marcus tells her Hobbes escaped the FBI. She realizes that Hobbes can help the humans build an army and it's time to build their own.
Joshua addresses the many soldiers from the 29 ships and how the "queen" commands they be awesome. Anna enters and looks them over. It seems like she's smelling them. She looks at one and says "him."
Erica is reframing the picture she broke while fighting with the V assassin. Tyler enters and they hug. She asks if he's okay. He says yes. She asks if he knows what he put her through. He apologizes and tells her that he's not going to lose her and he will always be there for her even though he's growing up. He says he needs to be completely honest. He shows his peace ambassador uniform. She looks at the embedded camera and says she's not afraid of the Visitors but of losing him. He says she won't and to trust him. She says "no more secrets about the Visitors okay?" He says they don't have any. Lisa watches.
Valerie is eating yet more eggs and goes to toss what she doesn't want. She finds a dead mouse by the trash can in a mouse trap. She looks like she might want to eat it before she freaks out and tosses it in the trash. Ryan enters and she says something's not right and she's been eating all day and had weird cravings. She says she never told him this: she always wanted kids but when he said he couldn't she thought he was more important than kids. She thinks the baby is a miracle and happened for a reason. He agrees.
Anna in a robe walks around the selected solider in a cloud of mist and moisture. He appears naked. She straddles him and pushes his head to one side and lays her head by his head. There is a glowy yellow thing floating near where they're joined. Moments later she says their done and an army will be born from this union. Now, however, her eggs need nourishment. She opens her mouth and a scary set of fangs/teeth protrude out and she swings her head to eat the soldier.
