[edit] Biography

[edit] Season 1

Erica wakes up in bed when she feels the ground shaking. She goes into Tyler's room (her son) to ask him if he feels it too but he isn't there. She calls him and tells him that he is in big trouble. She asks where he is and tells him she's coming for him when the ground starts to shake more rapidly. The phone cuts out and she looks out the window and sees a giant mothership hovering over New York City. She goes out looking for him but the army won't let her through to where Tyler is. When they are distracted she goes through and finds Tyler. The two then watch as Anna, the visitor high commander, broadcasts her message to the world from the mothership.

The next day, Erica calls her partner Dale Maddox and tells him that when the visitors came most terrorist activity dropped apart from one which actually spiked. She tells him that they're arming themselves with C-4 while the Earth is distracted by the Vs. Dale asks if her ex has rang and she says that he rang to say he is fine but never asked how they are.

Three weeks later, Erica enters her office and tells Dale that that a truck suspected of having drugs was checked last night by the NYPD and they didn't find drugs but did find, however, traces of C-4. She then shows him a photo of where the truck came from on Long Island. The two travel to Long Island and Erica notices that in the photos that the white truck is parked beside a shack. They then enter the shack and go down a hidden stairway underground. They find a dead body, a crate of C-4 and fake docs and passports.

Erica discovers the identity of the terrorist and gets a search warrant to his house. They enter but it is empty so Erica calls his cell phone. She finds it with a text on it telling him to go to a meeting that night. Erica goes to the meeting and discovers that the Vs have been on Earth for years and have positioned themselves in business, government and religion. Erica sees photos of the terrorist she has been tracking and discovers that he is a visitor. People then enter the meeting and start attacking, one of whom is Erica's partner Dale. Erica hits him over the head and pulls back a piece of his skin revealing reptilian scales. Erica escapes with Jack Landry. She tells Jack that she can't trust anyone anymore and the two discuss how they will fight the visitors and help build a resistance though, not known to Erica, her son has joined them as a Peace Ambassador. ("Pilot")

As Erica and Jack discuss the events, a Visitor shuttle flows overhead, and lands at the scene. The two watch as the crew begins loading bodies onto the shuttle. Jack begins to use his cell phone call for help, but Erica cuts him off, not wanting her identity revealed. She locates a nearby payphone, and reports the incident to the 911 operator.

The 911 call is intercepted by a mothership, who immediately sends a seeker to track and kill Erica and Jack. They notice the device and flee, hiding behind a corner and ambushing the device with a piece of pipe just as it was about to fire its projectiles.

The next day, Paul Kendrick tells Erica that Dale is missing, and asks her to come into the office, where she's interrogated by a panel. When his car is found at a warehouse, Erica visibly recognizes the address upon arrival, prompting Paul to inquire about that knowledge. She reveals that the address came up in investigation, making him suspicious at her for withholding that information. While at the scene, she quickly retrieves her badge and gun, which she had left behind when infiltrating the resistance meeting. She also retrieves Dale's cell phone. Although he wants answers, Erica insists on locating him.

Paul later confronts Erica with a recording of her 911 call. Erica expressed her suspicion that there was a mole on the team, which required her to use another way of requesting assistance. Paul reveals that 911 never recorded the call, and that the phones were rerouted by the suspected terrorists, and were tapped by the authorities. Since the phones were tampered with, Paul gives her story the benefit of doubt. Erica reveals that she suspects Dale is a traitor.

Erica later meets with Dale's wife, suspicious of her claim that Dale had called her the night before, which is not shown on his cell phone. Dale's wife reveals that he had an alternate cell phone, and provides the phone records, which she had stumbled across some time before. The phone records had another, frequently-called phone number.

Erica identifies Dale as the terrorist mole, based on the fact that the unidentified calls corresponded identically to when the terrorists were being tipped off.

Erica steals a list of everyone who has contacted the VTAJTF.

Erica shreds a photo of Dale in disgust.("There Is No Normal Anymore")
