Weaver orders Tom to scout out the massive Skitter structure and determine how best to destroy it, and goes along himself because his former contracting experience could pinpoint the most vulnerable structural points. Meanwhile, Pope is placed in charge of developing the explosives required to destroy the structure. Anne performs a secret autopsy on the dead Skitter and finds a harness attached inside it, so suspects it may once have looked like something else, maybe even humanoid. While scouting the Skitter structure, Tom, Hal and Weaver spy a tall, humanoid third alien species directing Skitters. While returning to base, they are surprised by a strange woman who invites them into her home. Tom and Hal take up her offer. Weaver stays outside, ostensibly to guard their motorbikes, but leaves for his home, which Ricky has been drawing. Weaver removed the spark plugs on Tom and Hal's bikes, but they eventually follow. Tom finds him drinking whiskey in the backyard. Weaver explains that he had separated from his wife before the invasion and couldn't find her when the attack began. He found his younger daughter who had been harnessed and inadvertently killed her in removing it. They are interrupted when a Mech shows up, forcing Hal to hide and Tom and Weaver to work together to destroy it. Believing the strange woman betrayed them, they return to her apartment and discover she is an agent of the Skitters who use her to capture people. While questioning her, Karen, harnessed, asks from the other side of the door about them. Before Hal can do anything, Tom looks through the peep hole and comes face to face with one of the new 10-12' tall aliens.

Hal makes a judgment call to rest a few hours in the light at a suburban home, while untiring Ben volunteers to run ahead, and inform the 2nd Mass on Terry and his renegades. Terry and his men find the children. But Pope fires from the tree line first, killing one of Terry's men. A firefight ensues, wounding Pope in the leg, yet causing Tom to emerge from cover to strike a compromise. Tom will surrender everyone, if Terry will talk 'terms' upon return to the Sanctuary.

Although Tom is frustrated, he forgives Pope's indiscretions and takes him back as cook. At Mike's funeral, Hal praises his bravery, Lourdes sings a hymn, while Margaret holds Hal's hand. After the funeral disperses, Rick turns to Ben and says "(the Skitters)...would never kill one of our own," advising Ben that, "You should understand this", and keeps trying to recruit Ben to join him and return to his "family", the Skitters.

lead, did not have to audition for the role. She received the script and was offered the role. Bloodgood was drawn to the role because of Spielberg and Rodat's involvement. She stated: "Well certainly when you get handed a script and they tell you it's Bob Rodat and Steven Spielberg, you're immediately drawn to it. It's got your attention. I was a little cautious about wanting to do science fiction again. But it was more of a drama story, more of a family story. I liked that and I wanted to work with Spielberg." Bloodgood added that portraying a doctor excited her. "I liked the idea of playing a doctor and deviating from something I had done already," she said. In August 2009, Drew Roy and Peter Shinkoda were cast as Hal Mason and Dai, respectively. Drew Roy's agent received the script and the pair joked that Roy might get the role. "This one came to me through my agent, just like everything else. We even joked about the fact that it was a Steven Spielberg project. We were like, "Oh yeah, I might have a chance." We were just joking." He auditioned four times for the part. "The whole process went on for quite some time, and then towards the end, it was down to me and one other guy, and we were literally waiting for the word from Steven Spielberg 'cause he had to watch the two audition tapes and give the okay. That, in and of itself, had me like, "Okay, even if I don't get it, that's just cool." Fortunately, it went my way."

Believing his attack will turn into a suicide mission, Weaver sends Hal back to the 2nd Mass to report that the 4th and 5th Mass did not show up and are presumed destroyed. Tom heads out to rescue Weaver, and sends the radio and car back with Pope and Anthony, both wounded. Pope leaves him a rocket-propelled grenade launcher with Mech penetration ability. Tom finds Weaver, and shoots down a Skitter ship that crashes into the Skitter base with spectacular explosions.

Next day, with grudging compliance of the parents, Terry leads the children to his encampment. Terry is later exposed as an enemy collaborator, exchanging children for the survival of his camp. 924:. "I felt that this was a very interesting postapocalyptic story with a 21st century spirit of '76. I came up — out of the blue one day — with the name Falling Skies, which is basically what happens to the planet after this invasion. What is unique about this particular series is that the story starts after a successful conquest of the world," he stated. What attracted Spielberg to the project was the story of survival. "I've always been interested in how we survive and how resourceful we are as Americans. How would the survivors feed the children?

montages,'" he said. Rodat came up with the idea of having the children in the series "harnessed by aliens". "When we were working out the initial stuff, the thing that excited was the idea that adults are killed if they're a threat, and kids are captured for whatever reason and changed or altered. The harness was a logical outgrowth of that. Then what we'll explore is what the harnessing does to the kid over the course of the show but that also is something that's going to have to unveil itself gradually," he stated.
