"Blast from the Past!"
Moments before the "bullets" enter through Carey's living room, a small fire starts to blaze from a silver pot on the stove in the kitchen. Carey has forgotten to turn the stove off...
Inside the living room, is another scene. Dirt and dust hang over the room. The sun has finally come out again. A soft golden glow, lights up everything in the room.
RING! The telephone starts to ring-
Carey, laying flat on the floor, wakes up, hears the ring and looks up at Samantha sitting lifeless on the sofa. Carey turns to the window and sees the damage. As she looks closer, she realizes: Those aren't bullet holes...
But, if the aren't bullet holes, what are they?

Cameron heads out onto the main road to find help for the suspiciously unconscious Trevor. He feels lucky when he runs into two young girls, one a redhead, the other a short-haired brunette, decked out in school uniforms. He sees them stop talking, and then wink at him as he approaches. He isn't in the mood. Someone is hurt, Cameron thinks. He stops them as they come closer-
"I need your help" Cameron states.
OK, the girls reply.
"Follow me this way", Cameron instructs.
As the girls hustle to keep pace, Ally, the redhead, looks behind and then quickly hikes up her skirt.
Apparently, she has something else on her mind...

Back in the park, the mysterious cameraman walks closer to where he saw Trevor laying unconsious moments before Cameron left. He moves in closer to take another photograph... But-
Off in the distance, still under the tree, Trevor suddenly comes to.
Where am I?, he thinks.
He gets up slowly stumbling away. However, he does not notice that he has left the test samples he has taken sitting open on the grass under the tree.
A large red ant crawls onto the petrie dish...

Tracy looks at the damage that she caused to her painting in her fit of rage over learning about Cameron's relationship with Samantha.
"Wheeeee!"Tracy runs to the whistling kettle. She prepares the cup of tea and tries and relax. Then, the telephone rings...
"Hello?" Tracy says-- answering the telephone.
"Hi Tracy? It's me Professor Williams, Trevor's father."
"Hello. Yes. How are you?"
He says, "I'm fine." He reconsiders, "No actually I was wondering... Do you have some time?"
"Sure. What is it? Are you OK?"
"Yes. Look I need to talk to you. I'll be over there in 5 minutes."
"Fine. Sure." Tracy says before hanging up the phone.
What on earth could he want? Tracy pauses for a moment. That's strange!
Just as she is about to sit down with a book to kill the time for Professor Williams to show up, there's a startlingly knock at the door-
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Who could that be? Tracy questions herself, and then she moves over to the door to open it-
"Jackie?!" Tracy says... Tracy's sister is at the door.
Only trouble is, Tracy's sister has been "dead" for two years.
