The 4400 are attacked by a series of fire-bombings after Barbara Yates made their names and addresses known to the public. Tom, Diana, and Ryland try to put an end to the bombings at the same time as Tom tries to deal with the disturbing behavior of Kyle, and Diana tries real hard to be a good substitute mother to Maia. However, the arrival of a Homeland Security agent from Washington, Warren Lyttel, makes their work even harder. Jordan Collier tries to provide his followers with safe shelter, but Richard and Lily begin to question his intentions as the bombings intensify.

Episode Quotes
 
Richard: I could have bought a car in my day for the price of this suit.
 
Kyle: Don't touch me!
Tom: Look, I'm sorry, I'm... trying to help.
Kyle: It's not my memory. You're my father, I recognize you, but I don't know who you are. It's like you're a stranger.
 
Diana: Mr. Tyler, I know you're trying to protect your family, but you do realize that by staying here you could be putting yourself in serious danger.
Richard: Maybe. But you know I was born in 1922. In Missouri. And my skin was a black then as it is now. I've had to worry about fire bombings and lynchings and beatings my entire life. If there's anything I learned, it's this. Eventually a man's gotta take a stand. I'm making mine right here.
 
Diana Skouri: Mister Tyler, I know you're trying to protect your family. But you have to realize that by staying here, you could be putting yourself in serious danger.
Richard Tyler: Maybe. But you know, I was born in 1922 - in Missouri. And my skin was black then as it is now. So I've had to worry about fire bombings, and lynchings and beatings my entire life. If there's anything I've learned, it's this: Eventually a man's gotta take a stand. I'm making mine right here.
