Synopsis
Swift awakens from her injuries and approaches the Engineer in the Carrier’s bay. The Engineer has been searching for the Carrier owned by the Sons of Liberty with no results, and is exhausted. Swift has been unconscious for five days, so the Engineer catches her up on events.
The Doctor visits the Garden of Ancestral Memory, where the souls of all the previous Doctors reside. Jeroen seeks consolation for his attempt to create a new world religion, as well as information on how Paul Revere’s team is blocking his communication with the earth.
Meanwhile, the revolt against the Authority has grown to a critical mass. Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty are fully empowered and have brought the rioters to the White House lawns.
The Carrier transports the Authority to the White House, and the team confronts the Sons of Liberty and their followers. The Doctor teleports the rioters to a dimension full of manure, which leaves the Authority free to deal with Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty directly.
The Authority are winning the battle, when Dyno-Mite explodes in front of the Doctor, severely injuring him. With the Doctor injured and out, his spell reverses and the mass of rioters reappear on the White House lawns. The Engineer manages to capture Johnny Rocketman and transport him back to the Carrier; she wants to study how he was de-aged and augmented.
While the Engineer runs tests on her captive, Jenny Quantum is visited by a future incarnation of herself, which is reflected in the glass window of the Carrier. This teen-aged version of Jenny confronts her five-year-old counterpart to let her know that she has the power to stop the riots.
Suddenly, Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty revert to their true elderly ages. Apollo pushes back the rioters with a ring of fire, while the Authority tends to the crippled Sons of Liberty.
Dyno-Mite and Fallout still have their powers, however. And when Dyno-Mite explodes in front of Fallout, his nuclear-powered teammate, a massive explosion ignites the nation’s capital, devastating the surrounding area.
Five-year-old Jenny Quantum appears just in time to save the Authority by protecting them from the explosion for force field bubbles. But, inexperienced in the use of her powers, she is unable to save the rioters in the area, all of whom are killed.
Midnighter hugs and consoles a tearful Jenny, as the team stands in awe of the destruction around them.
