A detachment of the [[Argentina|Argentinian]] army under the command of Captain [[Federico Santos]] soon arrives to assist Rex and Esther. While the group is loading up, a Three Families agent with the army opens the briefcase and, seeing it contains packets of blood, detonates a suicide bomb. This makes the other soldiers [[Categories of life|Category 1]] and destroys the briefcase that contained Rex and Esther's supply of Jack's blood. Although Rex, Esther and Captain Santos survive unharmed, Rex tells Santos to report that Esther and he died in the blast to allow them to better infiltrate the Blessing site. | A detachment of the [[Argentina|Argentinian]] army under the command of Captain [[Federico Santos]] soon arrives to assist Rex and Esther.

Director Shapiro realises the Three Families' mole must be inside his team. He has [[Noah Vickers|Noah]] run a newly developed program to track any recent phone calls made using the Three Families' method of avoiding traces. Realising she is moments from being discovered, Charlotte calmly retrieves a hidden explosive device from a side office, puts it in her purse in the main meeting room and leaves. The trace finishes decoding her phone number and Noah freezes with fear, now aware that she likely prepared to kill them the instant her cover was blown. Shapiro turns his head to the left and sees Wills left behind her purse... and the final warning beeps of the hidden armed bomb are sounding. The doomed man knows what awaits him and responds, "Oh, | Director Shapiro realises the Three Families' mole must be inside his team.

Meanwhile, [[Rhys Williams]] has gained access to the [[Cowbridge Overflow Camp]] through [[Andy Davidson]]. He sits by Geraint's side as he is prepared to be sent for cremation along with dozens of other category ones. A nurse arrives informing them the group will be moved soon. Rhys protests he wants to spend more time with him but the woman insists they have to stay on schedule; it took months for them to finally get the system running smoothly. While waiting, Andy witnesses an unidentified and very sickly [[Girl (The Blood Line)|little girl]] wake up. He goes to her side, the nurse informing him no one knows the girl's name. | Meanwhile, [[Rhys Williams]] has gained access to the [[Cowbridge Overflow Camp]] through [[Andy Davidson]].

* This episode begins with a monologue by Gwen Cooper. ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)|Children of Earth: Day Five]]'', also the final episode of a season arc, began in the same way. The key difference is that in the earlier episode Gwen is recording a message when she speaks; in this episode, although it is filmed as a monologue, Jack is visible in the background. She is actually speaking to him. | * This episode begins with a monologue by Gwen Cooper.

This led to rumour that Series 5 would air only a few months later, even though there had been no word of such a production. Ultimately, the caption referred to "Jackfest," a month-long event on UKTV Australia, not any new episodes. | * The [[Australia]]n broadcast ended with the caption, "Jack will be back in January 2012."
