Grendel and the rebels continue battling vampires through the missile silo.  Grendel is finally able to recharge himself when he locates the vampires generator within the core of the silo. They are narrowly able to rescue Jupiter from being eaten by an ancient, fat vampire known as the first.  Upon leaving they destroy the silo.  Later that evening they hear news that due to the stresses of leading, Laurel Kennedy has taken ill and her right hand will be taking her role as regent until her return.

Meanwhile Susan and Crystal have made it into the Canadian wilderness and found a hermit who was once a political analyst.  Recognizing Crystal, he invites the pair back to his cabin for food and rest.
