Tom and Diana continue the hunt for terrorists. Meanwhile, Dennis Ryland finds one in an unlikely place. Nikki pays Shawn a visit. Tom and Diana help Alana and Gary escape.
At an undisclosed location Tom and Diana prepare to raid a house in the hopes of capturing Gary Navarro, whom they believe to be the last member of Nova Group, entering they discover the house empty. They find food still boiling, and Diana tells Tom, “Somebody must have tipped him off.”
At the 4400 Center, Isabelle and Shawn kiss and he breaks away purposely from her. Devon interrupts them, telling Shawn he has a visitor. The visitor is Nikki, who tells him that her father has fallen ill with pancreatic cancer. At the 4400 Center’s school Alana is detained by two Pentagon employees under suspicion that she is a member of the Nova Group.
Tom and Diana visit Dennis Ryland at the Haspel Corporation with regard to Alana being arrested by Dennis’ “people”. After Tom and Diana leave, Dennis visits a medical room in which Isabelle Tyler is having tests performed on her.
Heather Tobey visits Tom at night-time regarding Alana after Tom and Diana had visited her earlier that day. Heather tells Tom that Alana had access to her office and her telephone, which had been used to notify Gary Navarro of NTAC's imminent arrival. The following day Tom collects Alana from NTAC custody. Driving down the highway Tom questions Alana as to whom she gave Heather’s key to; Alana reveals to Tom that she gave it to no one and that it was she who notified Gary.
As Shawn enters his apartment, he discovers Isabelle there. She tells him that she has come to talk to him about Nikki and that she has a feeling that things will not end well if he and Nikki hook up.
Tom visits Alana, who is now in detention again after giving herself up to Ryland; Tom secretly gives her messages using a notebook while pretending to be trying to get her to cooperate. Alana asks Tom to do her a favor, which Tom later reveals to Diana, stating that he believes she was telling him how to get in contact with Gary Navarro. Using the knowledge gained from Alana, Tom and Diana attend an aquarium; after some time they notice Gary and a chase ensues when Gary notices Tom and Diana. Later, after successfully capturing Gary, Tom tells him of his plan to trade him for Alana.
While driving Gary to the exchange point where Dennis is meeting them, Gary gives Diana a key to a safety deposit box containing eight letters. Diana figures that they are to the families of the 4400s Gary helped the NSA with and Gary states that he is doing this to give the families a sense of closure. At the meeting point, the exchange goes well. Diana states that she has a weird feeling in her stomach and Alana replies, “It’s not easy to sentence a man to death.”
Tom and Diana chase Ryland’s car in the hope of freeing Gary. Successfully running his vehicle off the road, they leave with Alana and Gary after holding Ryland and his men at gunpoint. Late that evening, Diana gives Gary an amount of money and two IDs. Gary and Alana depart for the Canadian border with Tom telling her that they will find a way to bring them back.
