There are other dissidents who believe the Visitors are not who they say they are, including Ryan (series star MORRIS CHESTNUT), who is faced with a life-altering decision when the V's show up, a decision that could affect his fiancée, Valerie (series star LOURDES BENEDICTO). And when FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans (series star ELIZABETH MITCHELL) discovers, while investigating the formation of a terrorist cell, what lurks beneath the alarmingly human exterior of the Visitors, resisting this new world has never been more important — and never has there been more at stake. It truly is the dawning of a new day.

After quickly determining that they are both against the arrival of the Visitors, Erica and Father Jack find themselves being tracked by a "Seeker" from the V's. Meanwhile, Chad, who thinks he blew it for 80 million viewers with his exclusive first interview with Anna, looks to boost himself up, and he becomes more investigative in his next newscast. Plus, Erica is questioned about the whereabouts of her colleague, Dale Maddox (recurring guest star Alan Tudyk - 3:10 to Yuma; I, Robot; Firefly; Serenity).

Chad reports from the Peace Ambassador Center as 100 diplomatic visas are being issued to the first wave of Visitors in the U.S. Anna will get the first, but not everyone agrees with the decision. Meanwhile, Erica, who is paired with a V officer, has started tracking a death threat, and Ryan begins reaching out to his old friends to build up opposition forces to help fight off the V's.

In this riveting cliffhanger, Erica works with newly formed allies to uncover a biological threat they suspect the Visitors have been plotting. Aboard the mothership, Anna meets with a special guest while managing the investigation into the murder of a V. And Chad begins a segment on the V Healing Centers, demonstrating their amazing medical abilities — but soon finds himself conflicted by some of his findings.

As the story continues, Erica finds her life in danger when she's attacked at home, and, as the Visitors build up their defenses, a dangerous new member is recruited for the Resistance. Meanwhile, Anna wonders why Chad hasn't followed up on his diagnosed aneurysm, and Ryan's concern grows over Val's "abnormal" pregnancy. Recurring guest stars DAVID RICHMOND-PECK (Fringe, Robson Arms, Beyond Sherwood Forest) and ROARK CRITCHLOW (The Mentalist, Mending Fences, Afterworld) appear as Georgie and A.D. Paul Kendrick, respectively.

Anna introduces her pilot program to invite select groups of humans to stay on each of the 29 spaceships, and Ryan must deal with the fact that Valerie's pregnancy is wildly accelerated. Plus, Tyler learns a secret about his mom, Erica, and someone makes a sacrifice to save Ryan. Recurring guest star DAVID RICHMOND-PECK appears as Georgie.
