FBI agents quickly identify the bombings as the work of a domestic terrorist cell. The investigation reveals that the terrorists are angry about the recent influx of refugees into their small towns and are determined to drive them out.
The agents work tirelessly to track down the members of the cell before they can launch any more attacks. They gather evidence from witnesses and surveillance footage, and they use sophisticated technology to piece together the cell's movements and communications.
As the investigation intensifies, the agents discover that the cell's leader is a charismatic and seemingly well-respected member of the community. They realize that he has been radicalized by extremist groups and is now using his influence to recruit others to his cause.
The agents mount a complex operation to take down the cell and capture its leader. The operation involves several tense and dangerous confrontations, as the agents race against time to prevent the terrorists from carrying out their plans.

In the end, the agents are able to take down the cell and bring its leader to justice. The episode ends with a sense of relief that the community can now start to heal and move forward. However, it also leaves viewers with an unsettling reminder that domestic terrorism is a real and growing threat in the United States.
