At Valenti’s house, Max and Valenti are going through Tess’s address book, hoping to find a clue as to who might be responsible for her disappearance. They check her cell phone and find that it lists the phone number of the last call she received; Max dials it and discovers it’s Grant Sorenson on the other end. Meanwhile, Michael breaks into Whitaker’s office and finds pictures of Courtney, the Crashdown waitress.

Isabel and Maria pull up to the sign saying "Reds," which Isabel had seen in her vision. She sees the wrecked car, but there is no sign of Tess. They follow the tire tracks until they come to an electric power plant, where Isabel gets a strong feeling that Tess is inside the facility. She tells Maria to wait for Max and Michael, and making her way inside, badly tears the skirt of her dress.

Max and Valenti confront Sorenson, who says he called Tess to find out what Isabel would like for her birthday. Michael shows Courtney the pictures he found in Whitaker’s office, but Courtney claims that Whitaker only has them because Courtney was having an affair with Whitaker’s stepson. Just then Maria drives up, and tells Michael he has to come with her, Isabel is in trouble.

Back at the power plant, Isabel is breaking into the building by using her powers to cut through the door. The action catches up to where it was in the beginning of the episode, ending with Isabel saying, "It’s you." The "you" is Congresswoman Vanessa Whitaker. She tells Isabel that Tess wasn’t the one she was looking for; it was actually Isabel herself. Neither of them looks now the way they did in their former life, and Whitaker only knew she needed a "hybrid." Whitaker says she is looking for the Granolith. She and her kind can’t exist on Earth for more than 50 years, since they don’t have the DNA, they only have their skins. Isabel helped them before, she says, and will again, then admits that she killed Nasedo to save Isabel. Isabel is confused, so Whitaker elaborates, telling her that Isabel used to be Vilandra, and she was beautiful, even more beautiful than she is now. For the love of a man, she betrayed her brother and her whole family, and that history repeats itself. Isabel screams at Whitaker, accusing her of lying, then grabs Tess to try to escape, but Whitaker knocks Tess back down to the floor with one hand motion. She demands once again that Isabel tell her what she wants to know. Isabel and Whitaker battle, and Whitaker claims she will destroy them all. Sparks fly as Whitaker tries to kill Isabel, but Isabel uses her powers to push the sparks back on Whitaker, and Whitaker explodes just as Max, Valenti, Michael, Maria, and Liz rush in. Max tells Isabel that she’s getting stronger, that nothing will come between them; Isabel tells them about Whitaker mentioning the Granolith, then asks to be alone for awhile.
