THE WOLFBRIDGE AFFAIR - Part 1 of 4. Aric was a Goth attacking the Roman Empire when he was first captured by the Spider Aliens.

She fled from Aric to Canada where she and her former Secret Service comrades met to remember Paul's passing. While in Canada, an old enemy of Randy and Paul's unit begins to kill members one by one.
