Driving in his SUV, Simon races down the streets of Miami, trying to stop Avias 514 from taking off because of a supposed "terrorist". On the phone, he informs Miami International's control tower of the situation, but they cannot get to the plane as there is no response and the transponder is off. Simon hangs up in frustration and tries to intercept the plane on the runway, but it takes off. He brakes at the end of the runway and takes a call, answering a man that he could not stop it.

Later, Simon is still in his SUV, and spots the plane approaching the President's Retreat. He tells someone to do it now if they are going to do it. (I Haven't Told You Everything)

At a warehouse, Blake fills Simon in on recent events and appoints him as the leader of a special operations unit to track down any detainees who have been hiding among society. Later, Simon enters a building and hugs his brother, Thomas. Fearing retribution from the government, he asks where Thomas transported the plane and what he did to them. Thomas tells him the plane is in Arizona and gives Simon a paper with the coordinates. After arriving at the Arizona desert, Simon and his team find the "dead" bodies of the Avias 514 passengers.(To Keep Us Safe) He briefs the President that the passengers appeared to be fleeing from what "killed them".

Simon continues to take orders from both Sophia and President Martinez. Sophia asks him to deal with William, who was prepared to reveal information about the assassination attempt in exchange for freedom. (Protect Them from the Truth) In the White House, President Martinez orders Simon to tighten security around his family and to find the identity of the man (who was Thomas) that made contact with his son. (A Matter of Life and Death)

When the President negotiates with Thomas for the cure of the Avias 514 passengers' illness, Simon informs Sophia that the President is intent on killing the detainees if the antidote is not given. In a park, Simon expresses his concern for the detainees' lives and fights with Thomas, who refuses to give in. Later, in the White House Situation Room, Simon listens on as Thomas asks for the release of one detainee, Sophia, in exchange for the antidote. The President agrees and reveals his plan to follow Sophia and capture Thomas. (Casualties of War)
