Supplies are running short and patience even shorter. Stocks of medicine and food dwindle and the people begin to resent the refugees. The situation gets out of hand when two children discover the tank that belonged to the bogus Marines in Stanley’s barn. The news that the Marines were frauds, and military assistance is not on the way, leads to protests outside the Major’s office.
The refugees attack policemen and then barricade themselves in the church. Gray orders that tear gas should be used and in the chaos a woman is trampled and dies. Roger forces Gray into negotiations at gunpoint. Gray is shot in the stomach, leading to a hostage stand-off which is ended when Jake persuades Roger to surrender. However, Gail Green makes a passionate speech suggesting the refugees take empty houses or live with townspeople as banishing them is tantamount to a death sentence. This is agreed for all but Roger, who is told he must leave Jericho – he doesn’t protest. Meanwhile Hawkins remains in touch with Sarah Mason’s contacts, who believe she is alive and has an atomic bomb for sale. He sets up a meeting at an abandoned warehouse but covertly photographs the men and puts a tracker on their vehicle. He uses a satellite to detect the tracker and takes a photo of the men. They text him with: “No more games, Sarah. Will double the price.” He takes a frame grab, prints it, and labels it “Boss?”, the question mark relating to his identity. Jake sets up a radio in the bar so everyone can hear news of the outside world. The episode ends with a news broadcast reporting “in New York, the terrorists who were apprehended were all carrying nearly perfect fake FBI badges.” Jimmy looks upset and the camera cuts to Hawkins, the FBI badge he showed Jimmy in the weeks after the bombs, displayed clearly on his desk.
