After accidentally meeting up with Daniel, Charlie discovers that he is disarming deadly traps set by Logan. Daniel's cat, Skidmark, accidentally lets go of a pack while in one of those traps and Daniel sends Charlie forward as he lures the pack back.

Strand and the others rush to Daniel's rescue and Strand uses the plane to eliminate the pack, damaging the engines beyond repair.

At the same time, Morgan and Alicia search for Althea and discover in the process that Max, Annie and Dylan are part of a larger group of children, the children of people who died of radiation sickness in a nearby camp. The children take them to the camp of the people who took Althea, only to witness the people fly away by helicopter. Meanwhile, Dylan and Luciana fix the truck stop's long-range antenna and contact Strand, who informs them of the plane's fate. Dylan suggests that the group repair their crashed plane to escape.
