Although Hawkins managed to blow up the mortar weapon factory in New Bern, New Bern has stockpiled several hundreds. Those mortars find their way to Jericho's streets. A demand by that S.O.B. mayor from New Bern for farms or Jericho gets it falls on deaf ears and Jericho is hit again. Gray freaks when he realizes his town is under attack and realizes he has to do something...as if! Heather is no where to be seen but Jonah reappears. Hawkins comes through again with an armory full of guns and ammunition. It's no longer the United States, it's no longer brotherly American love, it's down to survive or die.

Great show in an amazing series. hide show
This episode has the best use of a popular song in it. When the acoustic of Times like These by the Foo Fighters is played and Stanley (with no Armed Forces experience) scouts the activities in New Bern. It almost seemed like the song was written for that moment. "I'm . . I'm a little divided, do I stay or run away, and leave it all behind" while Stanley is running for cover to get into a better position, made the hairs on my arms stand up. It is already a powerful song but used in this episode made for one of the greatest TV moments I have ever witnessed.
New Bern starts to bomb Jericho with mortar shells. hide show
Fabulous episode full of tension and drama, major drama and human drama.
The human drama was shown by Mary welcoming back Eric and by Emily, witnessing her father shooting someone from New Bern in cold blood. Johnston's appeal to Dale for help was very poignant.
Gray finally has to admit that he needs Johnston's help in dealing with what amounts to civil war and a hostile invasion.
I loved Hawkins' comment about how he never expected Jericho to become his home and I loved that he and his wife seem to have resolved at least some of their differences.
The scene were Jake is offering a weapon to everyone willing to accept one is scary.
Outstanding episode!!
Well deserved of the highest rating among season 1 episodes, certianly my favorite episode of the season up until this point. This episode had everything you could ever want - no filler scenes and a main plot throughout the entire episode. The only scene you could say was filler was Mary and Erics reuniion, but nobody can say that wasnt a needed part of the episode to begin with.
Everything is coming to a head this season, with Jericho fighting for its survival with the rival town of New Burn. Jericho and Jonah won the first round of battles that consisted of gaining weapons that New Burn was using to hit them, but the fight has only just begun.
I thought the scene with everyone taking over the New Burn people with the mortors was a great scene. Everyone was in it that we have grown to love this season. Also like the unspoken decline in power that was Gray and Johnsons scene. Gray realized that there is no way he can make the big decisions under pressure like Johnson can and I thought that was a very well written part in terms of the show for character devolopment. All sets up for an exciting finale, lets hope it doesnt dissapoint.
