Returning to the bustle of the town, Boyd and Ellis rehashed their woodland escapade, yet Ellis's anger flared as Boyd revealed he had found no answers in the dense forest. Unable to contain his fears, Ellis poured his heart out to his father, confessing his apprehensions about Fatima.
Kristi skillfully patched up Jim's wounds, and soon, Jim and Tabitha realized they had a world of topics to delve into. Randall's attempt to smuggle his firearm off the bus led to a heated argument with Donna, until Boyd intervened, sternly ordering him to leave it behind, as firearms were prohibited in the community.
Tabitha sought Tian Chen's advice on accessing the storage, desperate to retrieve the possessions lost in the house collapse. Tian Chen, in turn, offered Matthews's shelter to her. Kenny and Ellis ventured into the woods to inspect their traps and stumbled upon Kelly, the diner's passenger, impaled by a rod. Kenny hastened back to the town, fetching Kristi who was in a conversation with Marielle.
Victor, upon discovering his violin missing, learned that Jade had been in his room. He hastened to Tian Chen's, determined to retrieve his instrument. Jade, however, revealed the mysterious symbol he had been seeing, pointing to a picture of Victor himself. Yet, Victor tersely bade Jade to desist.
With Fatima assuming Elgin's mantle, he inquired about a nearby water source, and she led him to the Brundles. Kenny, Kristi, and Ellis realized they had no alternative but to end Kelly's life, as she would not survive. Later, Kristi gently confirmed Kelly's impending fate.
Tabitha and Julie scavenged clothes from the barn, and as they departed, Tabitha was struck by a vision of two young girls gazing back at her. Boyd visited Abby, pondering how the events surrounding Martin could have been so real. Kelly's screams pierced the silence, and Boyd hastened to their location. It was he who gently extracted the rod, releasing Kelly from her agony.
Kristi returned to Marielle, pleading for her companionship. Ellis encountered Fatima at the diner and implored her to hasten their wedding, and she acquiesced. Tabitha spied Ethan playing with building stones, reminiscing about her underground days. Suddenly, she was enveloped by the vision of the two little girls again.
Boyd recounted Kelly's fate to Donna, who persistently probed for details. Meanwhile, Kenny stumbled upon Sara in the church's dim basement.
