The reporter said it just the way I thought of it: Olivia Taylor (the lovely Sprague Gayden) "took one for the team" by giving up her body to keep a national security secret. She stayed one step ahead of him. Unfortunately for our friends in the White House, it appears Jonas Hodges (Jon Voight in a stellar evil role) is one step ahead of his pursuers. As I feared, he is threatening the launching of missiles headed for East Coast cities loaded with biological weapons of mass destruction. He wants to blackmail the White House, I believe, with plans to take over the Executive Branch of the U.S. government.

This is the second consecutive episode that ended with a standoff between government and Starkwood. How will this end?

I was wondering about Voight getting away with murder. Of course, while threatening the U.S. government with a terrorist attack, murdering one CEO is really a side issue.
