Alec and Marisa attend a wedding of the daughter of a mutual friend that's located inside a foreign embassy, where the father of the bride has been ensconced for diplomatic reasons. Their night off quickly turns into a murder investigation.

There are other dissidents who believe the Visitors are not who they say they are, including Ryan (series star MORRIS CHESTNUT), who is faced with a life-altering decision when the V's show up, a decision that could affect his fiancée, Valerie (series star LOURDES BENEDICTO). And when FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans (series star ELIZABETH MITCHELL) discovers, while investigating the formation of a terrorist cell, what lurks beneath the alarmingly human exterior of the Visitors, resisting this new world has never been more important — and never has there been more at stake. It truly is the dawning of a new day.

In the series premiere of this coming-of-age drama featuring more than a little fancy footwork, Marti Perkins, a pre-law student at Lancer University in Memphis, Tennessee, discovers that her scholarship has been cancelled and her well-meaning but irresponsible mother, Wanda has neglected to inform her. Marti realizes the only way she can stay in school is to win a place on the Hellcats Lancer's legendary cheer squad and the scholarship that comes with it. Despite a confrontation with the Hellcats' peppy team captain, Savannah, Marti wins over coach Vanessa Lodge, makes the squad and is thrust into a competitive world unlike anything she has ever known. With her best friend, Dan, by her side, Marti navigates her new world as a cheerleader and Savannah's new roommate, while trying to avoid any interaction with squad member Alice Verdura , who is instantly jealous when she realizes that Marti has caught the eye of fellow cheerleader and Alice's ex-boyfriend, Lewis Flynn.

Savannah and Alice throw a toga party at Lancer, hoping the festivities will take their minds off the fact that the Hellcats might lose their funding. Marti, Vanessa and Julian come up with a plan that just may get Travis released from jail and save the Hellcats.

Steve (guest star Michael Ian Black) and Tony (guest star Ken Marino) tell Sam (Bret Harrison) they want to exploit Sam’s relationship with the Devil (Ray Wise) to lure the Devil into a trap where the other demons can then destroy him.  Ted (Donovan Stinson) asks Sock’s (Tyler Labine) permission to ask Josie (Valarie Rae Miller) out on a date.  Thinking she’ll never say yes, Sock agrees, but when Josie agrees to go out with Ted, Sock decides to win her back.  Missy Peregrym, Rick Gonzalez and Andrew Airlie also star.  Kevin Dowling directed the episode written by Kevin Murphy & Craig DiGregorio.
