Outline

Smith questions Juliana at her apartment about Joe’s film and learns of San Francisco’s impending destruction. Lucy tells Juliana that she knows that the supposedly live footage of Hitler is actually archival because her husband managed the television broadcast. Juliana shares with George Dixon her belief that Hitler may be dead. The Resistance decides that it is time to stage an uprising. Juliana is left concerned that she may have caused the nuclear catastrophe that she has been trying to prevent. Heusmann is made Acting Chancellor and Joe decides to support his father. Frank learns from Arnold that Juliana has warned them to leave San Francisco and has not betrayed him. Enraged, he confronts Gary Connell but the Resistance is determined to go ahead with the uprising. Armed with the knowledge from Juliana and Kido, Smith misleads an imprisoned Heydrich into thinking Germany and Japan are already at war, which leads Heydrich to confirm what Smith has suspected: a conspiracy to create a pretext for war with the Japanese exists among the Nazi ranks. Smith executes Heydrich after learning from him that it is someone else who is the mastermind behind the rush to war. Hitler dies. Now in charge is the new chancellor, Heusmann, who is revealed to be the one to have orchestrated the looming conflict.
