Falling Skies' Second Mass holds too much faith in humanity.

'Falling Skies' Season 5: A Happy Ending For The Masons? Connor Jessup Teases Finale

Weaver (Will Patton) and Mason's (Noah Wyle) survivors will stumble upon a functional military base in "Everybody Has Their Reasons" and a warm welcome will quickly turn into a firestorm. Despite Weaver's previous intimate relations with the base's leader, Ben's (Connor Jessup) controversial spikes might the spark that ignites a dangerous confrontation.

"We arrive at this military base and things don't go very well," Jessup told Three If By Space (see full interview here). "As we've seen in the past the second mass has seen a lot of fear towards Ben and people like him from people outside of the Second Mass...Is it more isolated and towards Ben? OR is it a broader issue towards an entire group?"
