The show Falling Skies season 3 episode 1 "On Thin Ice" begins with the 2nd Mass which is now over 300 strong living in an abandoned high school surrounded by the ruins of a city which was once Boston. The 2nd Mass is a group of survivors who are fighting back against an alien invasion that occurred six months earlier. They are led by Tom Mason, a former college professor who has become the voice of hope for the resistance.

The episode begins with Tom Mason trying to negotiate an alliance with a group of survivors known as the Volm, who are also fighting the aliens. After persuading them to join forces with the 2nd Mass, Mason leads the group on a raid to capture a crucial weapon which the aliens have been using to track them. As they approach the target, they are ambushed by a group of Skitters and Mechs, the aliens' ground troops, resulting in the death of one of the 2nd Mass' members.

Meanwhile, Hal Mason, Tom's son, who was previously captured and harnessed by the aliens, is recovering after his harness has been removed. He is haunted by a mysterious entity, which he thinks is a hallucination caused by the removal of the harness. Later on, Hal visits a medical lab, where he discovers that the entity is actually a parasitic alien which has taken root in his mind.

In another part of the story, Anne Glass, who is a pediatrician and the doctor for the 2nd Mass, goes into labor. She is assisted by Lourdes, a former medical student turned soldier, and Jeanne Weaver, a soldier's wife. However, the delivery becomes complicated, and Anne's life is in danger.

In a subplot, Ben, Tom's other son who was also harnessed, finds himself struggling with his inner demons as well as his loyalty to the 2nd Mass. He begins to feel that he no longer fits in, and his new abilities make him question whether he is still human.

As the episode comes to a close, the 2nd Mass finally captures the weapon they sought after, but not without losing one of their own. However, with the help of the Volm, they are finally able to turn the tide of the war against the aliens. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, as Hal's alien entity takes full control of his mind, leaving his fate uncertain.

"On Thin Ice" is a captivating episode that delivers a good balance of action and character development. The tension is high, and the stakes are higher as the 2nd Mass faces new challenges and unexpected enemies. With plot twists and cliffhangers to keep the audience engaged, this episode sets the stage for an exciting season ahead.
