The Architect Returns
Recognition at the camp
Colonel Feit arrives with Bova and searches the workers for the young saboteurs. Tucker recognizes that Feit survived the destruction at Area 51.

The Crowd as Bait

The Crowd as Bait
A public demand
Feit asks prisoners to identify three saboteurs in exchange for a day without labor. He expects the promise to turn people against one another.
Tucker reveals himself
When Feit brings Stacy onto the platform, Tucker calls out and gives up his concealment. Feit gains leverage over Tucker, while Tori and Kent choose to remain beside him.
The Interrogation

The Interrogation
A prisoner used as pressure
Feit presents Scottie in a death chair and demands information about the Sounders. Tucker and Tori insist they do not know the plan.

Bova sends Scottie through the Bridge. Tucker’s grief and guilt become rage, and he declares that he would destroy the Retros if given the chance.
The Dome Standoff

The Dome Standoff
Feit tries to stop the bomb
Feit reaches the nuclear device and begins entering its shutdown codes. Tucker attacks him while Tori helps Kent and Olivia move toward safety.
Tori removes the option
Tori destroys the keypad, preventing Feit from canceling the countdown. The conflict shifts from a contest over control to a race to survive the blast.
The Last Shot

The Last Shot
A final attempt to escape
Feit runs toward the dome controls after Tori’s weapon misfires. Tucker takes up Kent’s pulser and blocks his path.
Defeat without execution
Tucker shoots Feit into the Bridge. He does not know whether Feit is dead, and later brings him into the emergency pod rather than leave him to die in the blast.
