Michael (Tom Wisdom), meanwhile, has apparently taken to aimlessly wandering the wilderness after killing Becca and abandoning the city of Vega. The biggest changes took place in Vega itself, with Claire (Roxanne McKee) firmly entrenched in her new leadership position and butting heads with the conniving David Whele (Anthony Head).
