Tracy's sister Jackie is still in the hallway laughing hysterically after firing her revolver into the door handle to unjam the bathroom door.
Inside the bathroom, Tracy lays motionless and terrified.
"Open up sis..." Jackie beckons.
Tracy puts together her energy and pulls open the door.
Jackie takes a step into the bathroom and drags Tracy across the hallway into the bedroom.
Jackie sits down on the bed and says, "Look sis, I'm really sorry that I had to do this but... you just can't be doing what you're doing, OK?"
Tracy, lays fully awake on the floor and listens carefully - after all, she does not want to piss her "dead" sister off.
Jackie continues, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to let you know that I can't let you out there. Not now. The media is on to Dad. For godssakes Tracy! Look at what happened with me! They didn't even want you to know that your sister is alive. Doesn't that tell you that something is seriously wrong? Look at this place your living in. Foxport. Foxport?! What the hell is Foxport!..."
I'm not sure if you realize, but we need to protect ourselves from the dangers of the land! You know how I got here? By boat! The planes are coming! The planes are coming- your fans are all going to find out that you lied about your own death and when they do... you'll be really in deep you-know-what! Don't say I didn't caution you if things don't turn out as they should sis. I've got your back. I'm not letting you out of here no matter what!" Jackie instructs.
Tracy sits up and makes sure her sister knows that she's listening.
"Mark my words.. you're not leaving here." Jackie says creepily.

In Carey's mansion, Mark makes his way to the living room to inspect the damage from the blast. He cannot seem to think of what it might have been that caused the damage.
Carey and Samantha look on curiously.
"Look Mark, I don't know what we would have done if you weren't here!" Carey says.
She pauses and looks around at Samantha.
"Which brings me to ask you what are you doing here? Not that I mind because you saved my life and Samantha's. How did you get in the house?" Carey questions politely.
Over Carey's shoulder Samantha gives Mark the look.
Mark and Samantha are caught off-guard.

As Cameron pulls up to the home of one of the school girls, he's struck by how warm the car feels. He is trying to adjust the cool air, but it doesn't seem to be working that well.
"OK, this is it." he says looking back into the mirror. "I want to thank you guys for helping me- I don't know really what that was all about! I don't even know the guy all that well, because he works with someone I know... Anyway, thanks again."
The redhead gives him the look before the two girls run up the stairs off into the house.
Cameron feels a bead of sweat fall from his chin. Man it's hot, he remarks to himself, before speeding off.
He needs to make one more stop, he realizes, and he makes a sharp turn.

Trevor races into the bright white basement to see if his father, Professor Williams is there. As he arrives in the lab he is shocked to see most of his father's equipment missing. Just as Trevor begins to walk out, his father bursts into the doorway.
"Trevor!" he says. "I'm so glad you are here. Listen to me." he says.
Trevor takes a seat on one of the high chairs, he can sense a lecture. But something is different in his father's tone.
"I need you to know that the swab sample that I took from you this morning. It wasn't clean. There may have been a mix-up in the lab... I think you might be infected."
Trevor can't believe what his father is saying and he runs into the washroom to confirm his worst nightmare...
As Trevor looks into the mirror, terrified, he can tell that his skin is turning colour! (From olive to a tan brown colour).
Trevor realizes that it can only mean one thing...
