- Grace brings Kit devastating news about the aliens' experiments on Alma. Dr. Thredson receives an unexpected visitor. The Monsignor goes to extreme lengths to silence Jude.
- Son of Bloody Face (Dylan McDermott) smokes a bowl of weed at home. His hooker arrives, Pandora, she had her baby three weeks ago. "You understand what I want, right?" he says. "You were very clear. I even gave my baby a bottle of formula so I wouldn't run dry," she says.
"Breast feeding is so important for early development," he says. She takes her top off. He wants it so bad he'd "kill for it." He goes in to nurse.
At Briarcliff, Thredson comes to get Kit from his cell to visit his new son. Thredson says he understands the value of love and protection for a baby.
Thredson takes him to the common room to see Grace and their son, Thomas. Pepper stands over her protectively, so Thredson menacingly orders her taken to the hydrotherapy room. He's concerned over how her nursing is going. He leaves Kit and Grace alone with their baby.
Kit struggles to understand what happened. Grace remembers being shot and seeing a bright white light. She wakes up on an examining table surrounded by white light. An alien that looks like a brain with two tentacles examined her and then probed her, putting the baby inside her. Time works differently up there. It seemed like she was gone 100 years. "They're not like us, Kit, they're not cruel," she says. But when he asks about Alma, she says they're not perfect.
Grace floats in a pool of water with the aliens and sees Alma floating there.
Grace tells Kit that he's special and so is their son. "He's going to change the way people think," she says. Kit asks Grace to marry him. She agrees.
Monsignor Howard brings in a group of nuns, they're there to take the baby. Kit tries to fight, but they take him away.
Thredson watches smugly. "Kit, I'm so sorry. I can only imagine the heartache of having your only son ripped from your arms. Maybe I can help," he says.
Down in the bakery, Mother Claudia comes to get Lana. She tells Lana she's taking her out of there. She explains that Jude told her what she did to Lana. She has Lana's patient file for her, to back up whatever expose she writes. Her clothes and a taxi are waiting for her. Lana cuts into a bag of flower and takes out the recording of Thredson to take with her.
Lana says good-bye to Sister Jude first, and promises to come back for her.
Lana walks down the stairs in her street clothes, carrying the tape in her purse. Thredson talks to Kit at the bottom, making her promises if he only gets the tape from Lana. He thinks Arden is the perfect new fall guy for Bloody Face, now that he's disappeared. Kit sees Lana and diverts Thredson just enough to let Lana pass. She walks out the front door as Kit tells Thredson he'll try to get the tape.
Mother Claudia shows Lana into the waiting cab and hands her her file just as Thredson walks out the front door. Lana holds the tape up to the window for him to see, and flips him the bird as the cab drives off.
Thredson arrives home later in a panic. Lana's waiting for him, holding a gun on him. She tells him the police have the tape and will be there soon.
He says he's relieved. "Living with secrets is not healthy," he says. "I was right, Lana. I knew you were the one."
She promises him he'll pay for every sick thing he did to her and every other woman he murdered. He takes off his coat and makes himself a martini. He stirs, she holds the gun on him.
In the present, Son of Bloody Face stops nursing on his hooker. "The way you drained me, I'd say that you either have a mommy fixation, or a calcium deficiency," Pandora the hooker says. He pauses for a cigarette and tells Pandora his mom never loved him or his father and only loved one person.
Back in Thredson's house, we see a gun in the drawer near where he was making his drink. Lana asks what he did with Wendy's body.
"She was the first body I had that remained intact," he says. He kept her for "practice." We see Thredson having his way with her cold, dead corpse.
"Wendy allowed us to create this life you have growing inside you," he says. What he couldn't burn, he cut up and scattered.
Back in the present, in Son of Bloody Face's same house, "Johnny" rages as he thinks of his mother. He starts to choke Pandora.
Back in 1964, Thredson goes for a refill, near his gun. Sirens approach in the distance. She tells him he'll never see his baby. He expects to escape the electric chair and get sent to an institution. He tells her he has no use for her anymore. He's standing near his gun. Suddenly, Lana fires, blowing his head off. "Prison's too good for you," she says.
Cut to Lana in a mausoleum with friends, Barb and Lois, visiting Wendy's grave. Lana claims that the police found a lot of ashes in Thredson's furnace. Even if it's not all Wendy, Lana needed a place to remember her. Lana says that she has a few things to wrap up and then she's moving to New York. She blames her own ambition to get a good story that led to Wendy's death and Lana's commitment to Briarcliff. Barb has given Lana a doctor's name to "get rid of her little problem." Lana says goodbye to Barb and Lois as she does not want them to associate with her anymore as Lana's sexual orientation is now public knowledge as she is called the "Sappho Journalist" by the press over her stay at Briarcliff. Lois does not want anyone to know of her own homosexuality. Barb says the same, claiming that she still has a job because her male boss thinks that he still has a chance with her. After her lesbian friends leave out a side door, Lana exits by the front entrance where she ignores photographers and reporters snapping pictures as she leaves the mausoleum. "All I can say is: Read my book," she says to them.
Back in Briarcliff, the patients line up for their meds, including Sister Jude, who's still not right after her shock treatment. She knocks the tray of pills out of the nuns hands, telling everyone not to take them. "They turn your brains to mush!"
Monsignor Howard reads the newspaper headlines: Horror at Briarcliff and Monsignor Howard refuses to comment on the hiring of "Bloody Face" at Briarcliff. Reporters are camped outside.
Monsignor Howard visits Jude in the common room, rocking out to "Love Potion No. 9" on the juke box. He pulls the plug. Jude asks if he realizes the irony that he gave his virtue not to a woman, but the devil. He's not planning to leave the church. She rails at him, telling him she sees through him and his "stupid, pitiful, naked ambition."
"I am more sane now as a mad woman than I ever was as the head of Briarcliff," she says. Howard has her taken to solitary.
"You will not prevail, Timothy, my God would never allow it," she says as she's being led away.
In solitary, Carl the orderly brings Kit his release papers and tells him Lana killed Thredson.
Kit goes to see Monsignor Howard to get his son back. He demands Howard let Grace out and get Thomas, otherwise he'll start talking to the reporters.
All Howard has to do is release Grace's body. Her file officially lists her as dead. "You can make all your problems go away, nobody ever needs to know," he says.
Cut to a cab pulling up at Kit's house with Kit, Grace and baby Thomas. His key is right where he left it. Inside still shows the after effects of the aliens' visit.
They hear a noise in the other room. Kit goes to inspect. In the bedroom, he finds Alma holding a baby.
In New York City, Lana meets with a doctor in a house, she's made up her mind about getting rid of the baby. The doctor is ready to proceed. Lana pictures the million horrors she's witnessed as the doctor prepares. Suddenly, she tells the doctor to stop. "No more death," she says.
Lana meets with the police, telling them about all the people who have disappeared from Briarcliff. She wants back in to help get Sister Jude out, Mother Claudia has been transferred away.
Cut to police bringing a court order to Monsignor Howard, allowing them to speak with Sister Jude. He says she's dead.
Cut to him running into her room, to see her hanging from her bedsheets. He had her cremated. "You murdered her. You might as well have tied the noose yourself," he says. He tells her she should have come two weeks ago. He watches Lana leave.
Down in the bakery, meals are prepared for the patients and brought up to the rooms. A solitary tray is brought to the darkest corner of Briarcliff. The tray is slid through the door of a windowless cell, where Jude sits inside, praying the Rosary.
In a hospital, a nurse brings Lana her newborn son. She had asked not to see him, but he's allergic to the formula so the nurse brought him anyway. Lana contemplates her screaming son and changes her mind. She nurses him, looking away and up, at the crucifix on the bed above her.
