Herb, known to his niece and nephew as Uncle Basil, is glad to see Alyssa and Garrett, although he worries about his brother and sister-in-law. He feels like he and the entire neighborhood were fools to drink the old tanker water since they are now all sick. Herb struggles to care for Daphne, but in their room, he finds that someone left behind a bottle of antibiotics.

Kelton feels surrounded by strangers—even Alyssa and Garrett, whom he knows. He thinks about how his fight response finally kicked in that morning at his house, and now he decides he needs to channel that energy into helping the others. Kelton directs the group toward the bug-out and, as they drive, they pass more military. They come close to another roadblock, but Garrett realizes that he knows how to get around it. He directs them to a chain-link fence, which they decide they’ll need to bust through. Somehow, with Henry at the wheel, they manage to bust through and safely land at the base of the urban creek below. Everyone feels relieved at this point for the first time in days.
