*The terrorists begin to realize the depth of their failure:  not only were they unable to carry out the mission given to them by the leader of their STO cell, [[Barnabas Greeley]], but the unexploded devices left in the terminal bear their fingerprints.  Hippolyta and Pann berate Rand for her incompetence, until Rand demands to be dropped off.

*At the [[Graystone Estate]], [[Sam Adama]] pushes a confused and angry [[Cornell Gast]] inside, where he is confronted by [[Joseph Adama]] and Gast's former friend, [[Daniel Graystone]]. Daniel explains that as a member of the board of directors of [[Graystone Industries]], Gast's vote is required to reinstate Daniel as the corporation's CEO, and that he is willing to publicly reveal Gast's history of drug abuse and sexual assault on young girls in order to ensure that vote.  Gast indignantly refuses and is allowed to leave.

=== Act 4 ===
*Without official support for his investigation of Sister Clarice, Duram turns to Amanda.  He apologizes for [[Gravedancing|coming into her home and taking all of her daughter's belongings]] before he explains why he feels Clarice is STO:  she was raised on [[Gemenon]] at the same time the STO was actively recruiting soldiers to protect the new Monad Church, and she had been on Gemenon the week before at the same time as a conclave of the Monad Church leadership, and not at a teaching conference [[End of Line|as she had claimed]].  Duram goes on to ask Amanda if she would become a confidential informant and bring back intelligence.  Amanda leaves without giving him a decision.
*At the cabin, Amanda reflects on her time with Clarice and realizes that there have been hints of her monotheism all along.  She asks Clarice about her holoband usage.  Her answers are evasive.
*Amanda enters the Graystone Estate sometime later that evening, opens a safe, and retrieves a gun.


=== Act 5 ===
=== Act 5 ===
*With Greeley's cell under attack, Rand suggests that Greeley contact the [[Mother|Blessed Mother]] on Gemenon to arrange a truce.  Greeley instantly rejects the idea and grows increasingly violent.  Keon Gatwick loses his patience and tries to leave the safe site, only to be shot dead by Greeley.  At that moment, Clarice and Olaf enter.  Olaf seizes Rand, while Clarice arms an explosive and handcuffs Greeley to a beam.  Greeley defiantly declares Clarice's vision of [[apotheosis]] to be nothing but a fraud.  Back on the street, Clarice detonates the explosive, destroying the top floors of the skyscraper.  Rand asks if Clarice and Olaf will kill her.  Clarice answers, "I hope not."
*Amanda returns to the cabin.  Clarice is slumped in her chair and obviously troubled.  Amanda slowly reaches into her purse for the gun, until Clarice says that Amanda is the only person she can talk to.  Amanda lets the gun go, and listens to her friend.
