The previous episode began with a nice father-daughter moment between Wes (Barry Sloane) and Minx (Kylie Rogers) via a flashback in which Minx has a nightmare and Wes sings a nursery rhyme. However, the reality is that everyone believes that Drill has inhabited Minx and that she is the one that killed doctor Benavidez (Catalina Denis).
Claire (Lily Rabe) visits Minx in her tiny cell and asks if she is Drill, but the girl refuses to say anything. So, Claire talks to the other kids instead who confirm that Minx is Drill. Silas even tells her that Minx threatened to kill his mom. Claire checks the computer of doctor Benavidez and notices that it's Minx's file that has been corrupted.
Meanwhile, Daniel Goetz (Tom Butler), the reporter, informs Sean (Milo Ventimiglia) and agent Rollins (Derek Webster) that he knows about Drill but believes that Drill is a government cover-up. Sean tells Goetz everything because the latter will want confirmation and then the administration will have to release the children.
Frommer (David Andrews) prepares to kill Minx because he thinks that she is Drill. Wes is clearly running out of time to save his daughter, while Goetz tells Sean that Orion is Cassandra's secret service code name.
Cassandra is Drill, and before Claire could stop the little girl, she has sent out Drill's signal by screaming in the middle of her father's White House speech. Sean manages to stop Frommer from killing Minx and all the children are released.
The finale will air on Monday, Aug. 31.
