Miles and co. arrive at the Butler Road bridge in Freeport, where it crosses the Allegheny. The Militia controls the bridge, and they retreat to an underground parking garage to figure outg the next course of action.
We see Strausser holding a hostage. The hostage is Mia, Nora's sister. We see a flashback of Mia and Nora in the aftermath of the Blackout. They were hiding from intruders, and she later finds her mother, dead. Miles tries to destroy the pendant with his sword to keep Monroe from getting it, but the pendant seems to be a bit durable

Lieutenant Jason Neville is being beaten by Militia guards. Major Tom Neville walks and and demand what is going on, and the senior guard tells him that General Monroe ordered the interrogation.
Tom meets with Monroe. It seems Jason was asking a few questions, even bribing a stablehand. Monroe then informs Tom that Jason will be assigned to a diplomatic mission in California, out of his respect for Tom. The alternative is execution for treason.

Miles and co. rescues Mia. But they are still on the west side of the Allegheny, and no closer to crossing the bridge. Another flashback is shown, with Nora and Mia going to their father's house in Galveston, Texas. (Their parents were divorced at the time of the Blackout.) Mia says she knows a coyote who can help them cross, but the next morning they find his corpse. Mia mentions something to Nora. Their father is still alive and living in Texas, she says. He had gone to San Antonio to look for the girls at the same time they went to look for him. Mia then proposes that Nora accompany her to Texas to meet their father, and Nora objects, saying she needs to help Miles and co. find Danny. Charlie injects her opinion, saying that she would want to see her father again, and that Nora should go. Charlie's argument convinces Nora, and she decides to leave, kissing Miles before she does so.

As Nora and Mia walk, they are confronted by Strausser and his men. Mia turns over the pendant; she had pilfered it from Aaron. Nora learns that Mia was a bounty hunter for the Republic, hunting down rebels. Strausser tells Nora to thank her sister, since she saved her life.
Nora is understandably upset. She asked if Mia lied about having met their father, and Mia responds that Nora did the same about their mother in the aftermath of the Blackout. She also says that Strausdser found out she was Nor's sister and threatened her life if she did not cooperate. Nora decides to leave her sister and help Miles and co. reach Philly.
She saves them from an ambush, and Miles briefly engages in melee with Strausser. Strausser breaks away and escapes with the pendant. To cross the river, they all jump in the rapids.

Randall Flynn escorts Grace beaumont to a control room with working monitors. The pendants have tracking devices, and they learn Monroe has one of them.

I like the interaction between Miles and Strausser, especially copmments about a rubber room and about how the Militia provides an outlet.
Strausser kills one of his men for failing. He must be very good at what he does, if Monroe allows him to do that.
The central narrative is family. In this case, we see the bond between Nora and the rest of her crew, and the bond between her and her sister. Her sister was willing to steal the necklace and deliver it to the Militia to save Nora's life.
Monroe also questions family ties, not satisfied with Faber's protests that he and his son are estranged. This must make Tom wonder if Monroe would turn against him if he suspecrted Jason of treason.
