Scene 26
- Speaking of exotic dancers, now we're at Jasmine's strip club, where it's pretty empty (and the only customers are watching the news rather than the show). How rude.
- Jasmine tries to get her colleague Tiffany to agree not to go out and join the alien fans who are eager to welcome the aliens to earth with open arms.
- Tiffany doesn't seem convinced.
Scene 27
- David and his dad arrive at the White House, and he gets in touch with Connie to make sure they can get in.
- She's pretty annoyed, and there's definitely some tension between her and David, but I guess that's to be expected—how many people are happy to see their estranged husband under the best of circumstances…let alone when aliens have invaded?
Scene 28
- Outside, a helicopter equipped with a "visual communications" apparatus takes off.
- Inside, David and his dad enter the Oval Office, and they discuss the last time David and the President met.
- Apparently, it, um, didn't go well.
- That's an understatement: it ended in a fistfight because David thought the Prez and Connie were having an affair. Yeah. David punched the president. That's serious drama—no matter Connie's nervous about having David around.
- The President leaves his meeting, where they were watching the Welcome Wagon's progress, to join David, Julius, and Connie in the Oval.
- The President is not happy to see David, shockingly enough.
- However, he lets David explain why their satellites have been disrupted. Turns out, the aliens are using the U.S.'s satellites against them to communicate.
- Dum, dum, dummm.
Scene 29
- Meanwhile, "Welcome Wagon" is approaching the ship and starting to flash. Uh oh. If the aliens are up to no good, is this really a good idea?
- Nope, it's not—and the President runs into the room to order the immediate evacuation of the cities and the return of the "Welcome Wagon."
- As he does that, the alien ship starts to open up. Whoops—looks like he's too late. The ship fires on the helicopter. Yeah, that's not exactly a "we come in peace" move.
- The President leaves the White House with David, Connie, Julius, etc.
- In California, the First Lady is finally on the move, and Jasmine is stuck in traffic. We thought things were tense before, but this is so much worse.
- Jasmine's friend Tiffany joins a rooftop alien party, despite promising Jasmine she wouldn't.
- We jump around among the other characters as they try to evacuate from their various locales.
- Thanks to David, we know the clock is ticking down and close to running out, so we're hoping they al make it out.
- Finally, the spaceships over the cities open. Some people watch; others flee. Why aren't you fleeing, non-flee-ers?
- The President and his posse board Air Force One. Let's hope that thing flies fast.
- The timer David has been using to track the signal counts down to zero. Here we go.
- Around the world, the ships fire on the cities below. Naturally, (even more) chaos ensues.
- Sadly, David's colleague Marty, who's stuck in traffic, seems to get caught in a wave of fire sweeping the streets of New York. #RIPMarty
- Air Force One is barely able to get off the ground in time, but they manage—phew.
- Stuck in traffic as the explosions start, Jasmine realizes she and her son have to run on foot.
- She makes it to a safe place just as the fireball passes through the tunnel with her car. Phew again.
Scene 30
- It's July 3 now, and several cities are in ruin. Things are pretty eerie and quiet in New York City, where the Statue of Liberty is on her side.
- It looks like the entire population of the island has been wiped out.
- Leaping over to the West Coast, Russell's family is on the road. They stop because one of the kids, Troy, is sick.
- On Air Force One, the President is feeling guilty for not evacuating the cities sooner. Then a military dude comes in and announces that the First Lady's helicopter never made it to Nellis.
- Which probably ramps up the President's regrets 1000%.
