This episode of Resurrection begins with Rachel (Kathleen Munroe) having a dream. She walks into the factory and sees a little girl running. Also in the factory she notices several people trapped behind a door. Smoke comes is coming from behind the door as they are trying to get out. A guy yells “help” to Rachel. Right then Magaret (Michelle Fairley) appears. “You’re pregnant,” she tells Rachel. “That must be a very special baby.” The people inside the building burn to death.
Back at the Langston’s Jacob (Landon Gimenez) wonders into Margaret’s room because he can’t sleep. She tells Jacob that she just had the same dream Rachel had. “Do you know someone named Rachel?” she asks.
Meanwhile Rachel wakes up from the dream in a panic. The nurse reassures her that she was only having a dream and that everything is okay. Rachel has been running a fever of almost 102 for three days and if she doesn’t get treatment she could disappear in two days. However, Maggie (Devin Kelley) says she is skeptical about giving Rachel the medicine because of the baby. Bellamy (Omar Epps) tells Maggie to trust him, it works. Rachel says it’s not her that he has to convince.
Maggie and Bellamy head to the hospital to try to convince Rachel to take the medicine. When they tell her that they aren’t sure how the medicine will affect the baby, Rachel says she needs some time to think it over. They give her an hour, but after an hour she still hasn’t made a decision and Tom (Mark Hildreth) is beginning to worry. “It’s about faith you can’t convince her, you can only trust that she will make the right decision,” Janine (Lori Beth Sikes) tells Tom.
Back at the Langston’s, Henry (Kurtwood Smith) is still working on getting the factory back open. He is having a meeting with the investor from the previous episode. The investor tells Henry that it would be cheaper to knock the factory down and start from scratch, but Henry is determined to keep the factory and transform it into what it once was. The investor tells him that it will cost close to $1 million to do so.
Margaret also decides to have dinner with the investor, but she insists it’s strictly business.
Meanwhile, Deputy Carl (Chris Berry) is still dealing with the fact that he let his brother disappear. He goes to a meeting with Ray and his friends, who all dislike the returned. He tells them that he killed his brother and a guy says, “You can’t kill someone that’s already dead.” They plan an attack against the returned. "The entire town is infested with dead people,” Deputy Carl says. After the meeting is over Carl notices that Ray has fallen unconscious. It appears that even though Ray is not a returned, he is showing symptoms identical to the virus that the returned have. Maggie tells Bellamy to find out if it is safe to give him the medicine. Bellamy calls his boss, Angela, and she tells him that he can’t give Ray the medicine because the immune systems of the returned are different than those who aren’t.
Fred (Matt Craven) later goes to visit Elaine (Samaire Armstrong), who is at the hospital waiting for her brother Ray to wake up. He says, “If one more person gets sick, screw the government. I’m gonna shut down this whole town.”
Rachel has finally made her decision; she calls Tom into her room to tell him that she won’t take the medicine. However, Tom refuses to take no for an answer because he feels like she’s trying to kill herself all over again. “I lost you once, I can’t do it again,” he tells Rachel. Rachel says if the medicine keeps her alive at the cost of her child, than there is nothing here for her. Just as this is happening Rachel falls unconscious.
While Rachel is unconscious, Tom tells Maggie that he wants her to give Rachel the medicine anyway. Maggie tells Tom that she can’t do it. “It’s my baby. Don’t I get a say in this?” Tom says. “No unfortunately you don’t,” Maggie replies.
Outside Tom runs into Bellamy, who informs him that he has his own supply of medicine and that it works. Tom begs Bellamy to give it Rachel. When Bellamy runs into Maggie at the hospital, he once again lies to her telling her that Tom needed some company. Just as Tom is about to inject Rachel with the medicine, Maggie walks into the room because she forgot something. Maggie demands that they give her the needle and she wants to know how Bellamy is so certain that the medicine works. Just as he is about to tell her, Tom stops him and says it’s fine Maggie is right.
In the parking lot, Bellamy finds Maggie and tells her that he is a returned. “I should’ve never tried that with Rachel, I was wrong. I know that,” he says adding that after everything that’s happened, he couldn’t let her slip away. However, Maggie is upset that Bellamy has lied to her once again. “You keep lying to me,” she says adding that she can’t trust him.
Suddenly Rachel is awake and her vitals appear to be normal it appears that the virus has gone away on its own without any medication. It’s a miracle Tom says.
After her dinner with the investor, Margaret goes to his house. While she is at his house, she notices a picture on the wall of the man in her dreams that burned to death. She quickly gathers her things and runs out of the house. After she leaves, the man asks the investor why he would bring her to the house because whatever they are trying to accomplish won’t work if she finds out who he is. “She was a little girl at the time, she doesn’t remember you,” the investor reassures the man. “You better hope not, you could have blown this whole damn thing,” the man says.
Margaret goes to visit Rachel at the hospital because she wanted to make sure she was real. I heard you had the virus, she tells Rachel. Not anymore, I’m better now, Rachel responds. Rachel recognizes her from her dream and Margaret tells her that it wasn’t a dream, it was real, well it at least it was for her. You’re the little girl from the dream Rachel says. They both sense that the man in the dream has returned, which he has, and that he is angry.
Bellamy and Maggie also appear to be on better terms, while at the bar. “I could’ve helped you if you’d just let me in,” Maggie says. “I didn’t want it to define me,” Bellamy replies. Maggie then reassures him that it doesn’t, everybody has problems. They laugh everything off and have a beer.
The episode ends with several of the returned houses being tagged with a red cross, including the Langston’s.
