Ignobyl

Down at ground level, Erica and Kyle are waiting for Lisa in a car parked on a busy street in the city. This gives them a chance to talk about what happened the previous night, which I wish they didn't because ew. They agree that it was fun, but Erica tells him, "I needed a break... I can't lose focus on the bigger picture. This war." In other words, it's not you, it's V. Just then, Lisa climbs into the back of the car and hands over a little metal carrying case with its pair of blue balls tucked neatly inside. She was able to steal it from the ship, but she'll have to bring it back, since it'll be traceable back to her if someone notices it's gone. She asks what they need it for, and Kyle comes right out and tells her they're going to sabotage the blue energy reactor. This group doesn't really work on a need-to-know basis, does it? Erica adds that they think the reactor is part of Anna's invasion plan and they need to stop it. "That's why you need to find out anything you can about it," Kyle reminds Lisa, like she's just been slacking aside from the blue energy theft. She gets out and they drive off, but they're being watched from an upper floor by a sinister figure. Fortunately it was just Ryan.

Joshua's been busy in the lab. He says it looks like Amy's "abilities" are probably a result of Ryan having stolen phosphorus and given it to Val during her pregnancy. He won't know what else Amy's capable of without more tests, and preferably a third season. Anna's more immediate interest is in this theoretical frequency of bliss that humans will accept. No. 2 reminds her that trying to bliss humans nearly killed Diana. "My mother was weak," Anna snaps, and steps over to the terrified human test subject immobilized on Joshua's slab. While Anna reassures the young Asian woman, Joshua and No. 2 argue the issue -- No. 2 not wanting Anna to risk it while Joshua says that bold action is needed. Anna shuts them up: "If I can control them through bliss, I can stop any resistance." She puts her hands to the sides of the woman's head and starts blissing. But it's the worst blissing ever. The test subject starts screaming, and Anna doesn't look too happy herself. In fact, blood is leaking from her tear ducts, like that dude in Casino Royale but with shorter hair. No.2 tries to put a stop to it before Anna's whole face goes full Raiders of the Lost Ark, but suddenly the human smiles. Blissfully, even. Anna totters back on her high heels and falls to her knees, fat rivers of blood streaking her face. No. 2 helps her to her feet, while Joshua helpfully observes, "The subject appears to be blissed." And that's why he's the Vs' top scientist. Anna figures the best way to be sure of the blissing is to give her an immolation pill, tell her it'll kill her, and tell her to take it anyway. The subject blissfully complies, and is instantly incinerated. Well, the bliss is probably worn off now. Anna asks if this means she can bliss en masse. Well, it doesn't seem advisable, unless she's going to limit her eye-melting activities to one horror-movie set at a time, but Anna insists, "find a way."
