Question: What happened to the spies before they could strike?
About the article "Grand Central Terminal", section "Layout".

Candidate passages:
Spies was put on trial for conspiracy in the murder of Officer Mathias Degan with seven other men.
The defense initially sought to split the defendants into two groups.
Spies was to stand trial with three others (Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden and Oscar Neebe), separated from the "Monday Night Conspirators” (Louis Lingg, George Engel and Adolph Fischer), the more extreme defendants alleged to have attended a planning meeting in the Greif’s Hall basement the night before the bombing.
However, defense attorney William A.
Foster shocked his colleagues and Spies by telling the judge the motion of severance musn’t delay the trial and was merely perfunctory.
Spies passed a note to another attorney that read, “What in the hell does Foster mean?
I thought our motion was meant seriously.” Albert Parsons would later turn himself in and all eight defendants were tried as a group.
Spies would maintain his innocence and, despite the costly courtroom mistake, showed solidarity with his comrades through the trial, appeals, and at the gallows.
Spies was one of three defendants, along with Lingg and Fischer, who were implicated in the possession of bombs.
Spies testified he first obtained the dynamite out of curiosity.
“I wanted to experiment with dynamite just the same as I would take a revolver and go out and practice.” He kept the explosives on hand to impress reporters.
“The reporters used to bother me a good deal, and they were always up for a sensation and when they came to the office I would show them these Giant cartridges…they would go away and write up some big sensational article.” (Giant Powder was a brand of dynamite.)
During the trial, the jury was allowed by the judge to consider as evidence articles written by the defendants in support of political violence, conversations about their desire for revolution, and other past materials.
On the stand, Spies confirmed he had received an 1884 letter from Johann Most, an anarchist author of a how-to pamphlet on dynamite.
Most's letter said he would proxy Spies 20 or 25 lbs.
of “medicine,” which prosecutors said was code for dynamite.
In their appeal, the defense argued that police seized the letter from Spies’ desk without a warrant, but the appellate judge said he could not pursue the matter because defense lawyers had not objected to the letter’s admission during the trial.
Gottfried Waller, a fellow anarchist, testified that at the meeting at Greif’s Hall, two of the Monday Night Conspirators agreed that the code word “Ruhe” would be published in the Arbeiter Zeitung to call anarchists to arms.
The word appeared in the newspaper’s “Letterbox” section on May 4, the day of the bombing.
Theodore Fricke, the "Arbeiter Zeitung’s" bookkeeper, testified that Ruhe was written in the hand of August Spies.
Malvern Thompson, a grocer, testified he observed Spies preparing for the Haymarket rally in Crane’s alley, where he heard Spies ask Michael Schwab, “Do you think one is enough or hadn’t we better go and get more?” and a reference to “pistols” and “police.” Thompson said he heard Schwab tell Spies, “Now, if they come, we will give it to them.” Thompson said the two were joined by a third man who Thompson later identified as Rudolph Schnaubelt, the lead suspect as the bomb thrower and Schwab’s brother in law.
Spies handed something to Schnaubelt, who stuffed it in his pocket, Thompson testified.
Witness Harry Gilmer tesitified he saw Spies climb down from the wagon and light the fuse for the bomb thrown by Schnaubelt.
At his sentencing, Spies denounced the police and prosecution witnesses.
“There was no evidence produced by the State to show or even indicate that I had any knowledge of the man who threw the bomb, or that I myself had anything to do with the throwing of the missile, unless, of course, you weight the testimony of the accomplices of the State’s Attorney and (Inspector John) Bonfield, the testimony of Thompson and Gilmer, by the price they were paid for it.”Spies also charged that one witness, Gustav Legner, could prove his alibi but was threatened by police and paid to leave Chicago.
(Legner sued the "Arbeiter Zeitung" for libel for repeating Spies’ claim of bribery, denying he was told to leave town.
Legner said he asked Spies before leaving the city if he should testify and was told he would not be needed.
The "Arbeiter Zeitung" agreed to print a retraction.)
In 1887, Spies and his co-defendants appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court (122 Ill. 1), then to the Supreme Court of the United States, where they were represented by John Randolph Tucker, Roger Atkinson Pryor, General Benjamin F. Butler and William P. Black.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition for certiorari (writ of error) by unanimous decision (123 U.S. 131).
In January 1887, while still in prison, Spies married Nina van Zandt (1862–1936).
She was a graduate of Vassar College and the only child of a wealthy Chicago chemist.
She published an article on the trial for the Chicago Knights of Labor.
After Spies's death she married Stephen A. Malato, an attorney, in 1895.
They divorced in 1902, and she reverted to the surname Spies. 
The greatest amount of documents about fascist censorship comes from the military commissions for censorship.
This is also due to some facts: first of all the war had brought many Italians far from their houses, creating a need for writing to their families that previously did not exist.
Secondarily, in a critic situation as a war can be, obviously military authorities were compelled to a major activity to control eventual internal oppositions, spies or (most important) defeatists.
Finally, the result of the war could not allow fascists to hide or delete these documents (which it is supposed might have happened for other ones before the war), that remained in public offices where they were found by occupying troops.
So we can now read thousands of letters that soldiers sent to their families, and these documents revealed as a unique resource for sociology (and general knowledge about those times).
The work was daily organized, resumed and composed in a note that daily was received by Mussolini or his apparatus and by the other major authorities.
Notes reported, i.e., what soldiers could think about relevant events, what was the opinion in Italy, similar arguments. 
A Midrash taught that no other people sent to perform a religious duty and risk their lives on a mission could compare with the two spies whom Joshua sent.
The Rabbis taught that the two were Phinehas and Caleb.
The Midrash noted that says, “Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two spies secretly (, "cheresh").” The Midrash read the word , "cheresh" (“secretly”), as , "chares", “earthenware,” to teach that the two spies took with them earthenware pots and cried, “Here are pots!
Whoever wishes, let him come and buy!” so that no one might detect them or say that they were spies.
The Rabbis taught that Rahab was one of the four most beautiful women who ever lived, along with Sarah, Abigail, and Esther.
The Rabbis taught that Rahab inspired lust by the mere mention of her name.
Rabbi Isaac taught that saying Rahab’s name twice would cause a man immediately to lose control.
Rav Nachman protested that he said Rahab’s name twice and nothing happened to him.
Rabbi Isaac replied that he meant that this would happen to any man who knew her.
A Midrash explained that speaks of Rahab’s hiding “him” instead of “them” because Phinehas, as a prophet, had the power to make himself invisible.
A Midrash deduced from and that Rahab lied to the king, and was prepared to be burned to death in punishment for doing so, for she attached herself to Israel.
A Midrash taught that for hiding the spies, God rewarded the convert Rahab with priestly descendants.
Reading a Midrash noted that Rahab, like Israel, Jethro, and the Queen of Sheba, came to the Lord after hearing of God’s miracles.
Rabbi Eleazar recounted that Rahab knew in that the Canaanites had lost heart because they had lost their virility.
The Rabbis taught that Rahab’s attribution in of God’s presence to both heaven and earth demonstrated greater faith in God than Jethro or Naaman, but not as much as Moses.
Rabbi Samuel son of Nahman faulted Joshua in for keeping faith with Rahab in disobedience to God’s command in to “utterly destroy” all of the Canaanites.
The Mekhilta taught that as the events of took place, Rahab converted to Judaism, at the end of her fiftieth year.
She said before God that she had sinned in three ways.
And she asked to be forgiven on account of three things — on account of the red cord, the window, and the wall.
“Then,” in the words of “she let them down by a cord through the window, for her house was upon the side of the wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.”A Midrash deduced from that Rahab received a prophetic vision of what the spies’ pursuers would do. 
Blaine is introduced in Season 5 Episode 108 "The Granny", as the captain of the Mali-U beach volleyball team.
His interests are similar to Clover's which led to them dating within 5 minutes of his introduction.
As Season 5 has a more continuous story, Blaine's relationship with Clover is the first in the series to last for more than one episode (or any other girl for that matter).
The next two episodes (#109 and #110) deal entirely with this relationship.
It is revealed that he is actually a freelance assassin sent by Geraldine Husk to kill Clover, however he was under the belief that Clover was an evil spy.
However, Geraldine later uses Blaine as a trap to capture Clover.
At the conclusion of his initial story arc, Blaine joins WOOHP and is assigned to the Australia branch, and is later joined by Britney as his new partner (much to Clover's disdain).
Blaine reappears in the final episode as one of the spies captured by "Agent X".
After being freed, he assists the others in fighting the drones but is quickly defeated, leaving Sam, Clover and Alex to finish the series' final battle.
His relationship with Clover is still intact as they almost kiss before Alex interrupted them.
He returns in "Baddies on a Blimp" he has a new hairstyle and cat suit he was sent by Jerry to help the spies if anything bad happened while the spies were transporting 3 villains and it did at the strike it released the prisoners from their pods.

Biblical account.
Spying on Jericho.
Before crossing into the land west of the River Jordan, Joshua sent two spies to look over the land.
The king of Jericho heard that two Israelite spies were within his city and ordered them to be brought out to him.
The spies were tasked with ascertaining where the guards were placed, whether anyone disliked the king and could help them, what weaponry and armour the guards had, when the guards changed shifts, how much food, water, and other supplies the city had, and the height and width of the walls so as to determine how to overcome the city.
The woman with whom the spies were staying was named Rahab and she protected them by hiding the two men on her roof.
She tells them how the citizens of Jericho had been fearful of the Israelites ever since they defeated the Egyptians via the Red Sea miracle (some 40 years prior), and agrees to cover for them on condition that she and her family are spared in the upcoming battle.
The spies agree provided three conditions are met:  She must distinguish her house from the others so the soldiers will know which one to spare  Her family must be inside the house during the battle, and  She must not later turn on the spies.
Rahab agrees to the conditions: she hangs a scarlet rope outside her window to distinguish her house from the others.
Safely escaping the city, the two returned to Joshua and reported that the "whole land was melting with fear."
