V Wiki[]
After the radical faction of the Fifth Column murders three Peace Ambassadors, Erica goes on a mission to hunt down their leader, Eli Cohn, a former Mossad agent.
Meanwhile, as Jack and other priests around the globe begin to speak out against the Visitors, Anna heads to the Vatican in an effort to convince the leaders of organized religion that the Visitors truly are "of peace." The leaders are dubious and Anna resorts to blackmail- if the leaders don't endorse the Visitors, she will use their magic to show the citizens which organization is capable of "miracles."
While at the Vatican, Anna and Chad Decker meet a sleeper agent amongst the cardinals. Anna tries to gain information from him about the human soul, but he refuses to acknowledge her as queen. Anna takes the cardinal to the New York mothership, under the pretext that he will be the first missionary to the Visitors. In actual fact, Anna wants to interrogate him about the soul. Anna brings him to see Diana, so that he will reveal what he has learnt. Diana kills the cardinal, so as to prevent Anna from torturing him.
