At Thunder Mountain, Andrew Kincaid is hitting on Erin while skillfully pumping her for information. He traps her into confirming that Markus is bringing outsiders to the base. Andrew and his brother Thomas use that information to challenge Markus at the next council meeting. Markus is forced to put his planned meeting on hold and wait for the council to reach a conclusion on his leadership. Lee Chen has the pleasure of telling Jeremiah and Kurdy that they will have to hang out with Theo until they get further instructions from Andrew.

Jeremiah and Kurdy, having made their own executive decision, arrive at the mountain with Theo and are admitted. Andrew and Thomas see this as their opportunity to set up a sting. While Theo is talking to Markus, Thomas slips a walkie-talkie into her bag. A short time later, with a group of witnesses, he accuses her of stealing the walkie, which he pulls from her bag. Infuriated, Theo grabs a weapon and strikes him over the head. Andrew orders Lee to lock Theo up. Rapprochement with Theo seems unattainable until Andrew realizes that his brother's injury was really the result of their own fear.
