A group planning to redefine the shift of political currents has determined to remove key figure heads in a global effort to reform many of the government policies, not just in the U.S. but all around the world.
As the two operatives with FBI backing move in L.A. to take down the targets, behind the scenes mysterious agents approached people with weird offers. Alexandra was made a deal to work against Alaric, which she turned down and actually helped him out in dealing with these people from a different version of reality.
Ava was also approached but she turned the offer down, reporting the incident with "aliens" to her superiors - confirming to Alaric that Karen was only the first of many people to come and try to sabotage his efforts.
