Dr. Rosen's team of Alphas investigates an impossible murder for the DoD. Introduces all main characters and the core concept of humans with enhanced neurological abilities.

A former patient with causality-manipulation powers escapes from Binghamton, the government's Alpha containment and training facility -- a location that will matter throughout the series.

The team clashes with a Red Flag cell and captures Anna, an Alpha who can communicate in any language. Gary bonds with her, and the show's central antagonist faction comes into focus.

The team is held captive in Binghamton while Rosen is forced to unmask a Red Flag mole among them. A pivotal episode that shifts team dynamics and sets up the finale.

Red Flag, now led by the long-lived Stanton Parish, launches an open offensive against the DoD. Rosen must decide where his allegiances lie, ending the season on a moral cliffhanger.

Nine months after Rosen outed Alphas to the world, the team has splintered. When two members are taken hostage, the group is forced back together, re-establishing the status quo heading into the season.

Hicks and Harken go undercover in an underground Alpha fight club. They meet Kat, a quick-learning Alpha who is rescued by the team and subsequently recruited -- making this a character-introduction episode that matters for the rest of the season.

An Alpha crime spree traces back to Nina, who is suffering a dangerous emotional and power-related breakdown. The team intervenes, but Nina's instability and its consequences carry forward through the season.

Rosen enlists Skylar to decode an Alpha-enhancing device tied to Parish's larger plan, putting her and her daughter in danger. The episode advances understanding of Parish's endgame and re-introduces Skylar as a recurring asset.

A mind-controlling Alpha leads the team to evidence of Parish's broader plot, culminating in a face-off between Rosen and Parish. A key mythology episode that escalates the central conflict.

Rosen identifies the traitor within the team and faces an agonizing choice about how to act on that knowledge. This is the season's pivot point; the decision made here drives the back half of the season.

Hicks seemingly turns to Parish's side to protect Dani, but the team scrambles to stop a massive planned blackout. The operation succeeds at a steep cost: Dani is killed by Parish, a loss that reshapes Rosen and the season's emotional stakes.

The team processes Dani's death while Rosen withdraws behind his clinical reserve. This episode is less about plot mechanics and more about setting Rosen on the obsessive, morally compromised path he follows through the finale.

A driven-by-grief Rosen kidnaps and coerces an Alpha prisoner for intelligence on Parish, alarming his team. Skylar is found imprisoned, and the episode builds directly toward the finale while raising questions about how far Rosen will go.

Separated from his team and haunted by visions of Dani, a desperate Rosen pursues a final showdown with Parish while the others race to prevent the deadly mass-casualty event. The season ends on a dark, unresolved note -- the show was cancelled before a third season could follow up.
