New General Manager Ann Reynolds takes the helm following the siege with the intention of removing Will from the service. Vera is reluctant to return to work after the birth of her daughter Grace, however, she is tempted when she is offered a position she cannot refuse and on the condition that Will remains as governor.

Rita remains in police protection pending her charges and is desperate to make contact with Ruby. Later, she learns that the Attorney General, Marie’s former protector, has been found dead.
