Dr. Gupta: We identified curious genetic markers in both you and the control group of deceased returnees.
If you’re referring to the DNA anomaly, Saanvi broke that story a long time ago.
There is more.
It’s a unique combination of iron, titanium, and multiple other components, but together, they crystallize to form sapphire.
Is that… what was on my hand?
Like a… a fingerprint of what happened to me?
Or what caused it.
What caused everything.
Wait, a-are you saying sapphire triggered our disappearance and return?
Dr. Gupta: These are hypotheses, far from being proven.
We still have a lot more tests and diagnostics to run before we can be certain or even begin to hypothesize.

A bunch of 828ers saw it, too.
Ben.
We received a shipment from the Vatican.
What’d they send?
It’s a fossilized piece of driftwood.
I’m not sure what it is, but it made Dr. Gupta smile, which I didn’t think was scientifically possible.
Take me to it. It’s under lock and key.
And they are insisting that you have to go, and I doubt that they’re gonna let you back in here now that they have all the testing they needed.
Besides, I’m… I’m still trying to prove that I belong here.

Morgan, Butler, Hall, Villa, couple more towards the back of the plane.
Another woman at the front. I don’t know.
It happened so fast, it was impossible to memorize it all.

It may not look like much to the naked eye, but this piece of wood potentially reframes 828 as no longer a mere bewildering one-off, but as the next crucial piece in a metaphysical puzzle stemming back millennia.
Indeed, it may just be the key to unlocking not only why miracles happen, but how.
Dr. Gupta and I are counting on each of you, working with your respective teams, to run full diagnostics.
We need to understand what we have here, inside and out.
Can we get an iota of context?
All you need to know is it’s the only recovered specimen on the planet coated with the particular sapphire compound Dr. Bahl identified.
One last thing… I’ve instituted a change in our reporting structure.
All department heads will now relay their findings to Dr. Bahl, who will in turn present them to me.
Excuse me, but w-why are we reporting to Dr. Bahl?
You’re without a doubt the best and brightest scientific minds ever assembled under one roof.
And yet, for all your collective knowledge, not one of you were able to make the discovery she made.
In other words, she’s the reason you still have jobs.
Any questions?
Very well. You’re dismissed.
[Sighs]
When 828 went missing, I didn’t know what to do with myself.
How do you grieve when you don’t even know what happened?
Mm. It must’ve been excruciating.
I know it was for my family.
Hannah was the only one who understood and felt the same pain.
Hannah: Rachel was all the family I had left.
When she disappeared, it was… it was only me, and Jonas.
So we started spending more time together.
One thing led to another.
Michaela and I were both in Rachel’s shoes.
That couldn’t have been easy for her to… come back to this.
She was very upset, but Rachel and I had been having problems, and the truth is, it was never meant to be.
I know that now.
Hannah’s really the one.
But Rachel, of course, felt I had betrayed her.
She was furious.
At first, we tried helping her.
You know, we offered to give her money to start over.
We found her a place to stay, a job.
But the one thing that she wanted, we…
We couldn’t give her.
We couldn’t pretend that those five and a half years had never existed.
I’m guessing you guys don’t stay in touch with her.
Do you know where she is?
A few months ago, she began acting erratic, harassing us at all hours.
It got so bad, we had to get a, uh a restraining order.
We… We didn’t want to.
Truly, but… but she gave us no choice.
[Sighs]
Alright. Rachel Hall’s date of birth is August 8, 1985.
[Keyboard clacking]
[Telephone rings in distance]
Hey. This is a surprise.
Yeah, well, I-I noticed you left your wallet in your pocket.
Thought you might need it.
That’s really sweet of you. Thanks.
Uh… maybe next time, just shoot me a text.
Uh, I didn’t want to bother you.
You know, in case you were helping some other obsessed girl find her mom.
Huh.
Alright, well, I have it now.
Thank you.
Sorry if I interrupted.
No.
Didn’t realize Jared was dating again.
Maybe it is work-related.
That’s the Major’s daughter.
I thought that case was closed.
Why is she bringing his jacket?
Okay, Inspector Gadget, maybe they are dating.
But he’s a grown man and he’s single.
Out of all the women in New York, he has to choose this one?
I should have left you outside. Oh, my gosh.
[Clears throat]
Hey. Okay. So, I found Rachel.
Except she is now Rachel Evans.
She went back to her maiden name.

Sounds like your dad and Mick are making progress on their Calling.
So, does that mean you can stay?
[Chuckles]
Hey, Cal. Thanks for coming early.
Can I see what books you brought?
Yeah. Uh, not much.
I just grabbed whatever was lying around.
“A Wrinkle in Time”.
It’s my all-time favorite.
Is it? Cool.
Hey. I’m Zeke, bearer of books.
And you must be… Stella. Hi.
Where should I put these, Stella?
Here, I’ll take them.
Thanks, Cal.
I’ve never seen one with this cover before.
Might have to buy it for myself.
Hmm.
Whatever you’re selling, I’m not interested.
Rachel, I-I’m Ben. This is Michaela.
We were with you on Flight 828.
We were hoping that we could talk.
Sorry. I don’t have time.
Rachel, do you see things?
Visions?
Because I saw a vision of you, and I-I thought you might need some help.
Do you mind if we come in?
[Softly] Uh, yeah. Sure.
♪♪
Thought I was going crazy, on top of everything else.
Yeah, we know the feeling.
It must’ve been very challenging.
You think?
My sister marries my husband and moves into my home while I’m on a plane, and I’m the one who’s in the wrong?
What were you doing in Jamaica?
Jonas and I… needed a reset.
So we decided to get away.
Got more than we bargained for.
You traveled together?
Yeah, but I’d been in a car accident a few weeks before, and all that sunshine triggered horrible migraines, so I decided to head home early.
By yourself?
The hotel wouldn’t refund the rest of the week, and Jonas didn’t want to waste the money, so he stayed.
Instead of three extra nights without me, he got 2,000.
The vision I saw…
Maybe the Calling wants you to try to accept what happened and reconcile with your sister before it’s too late.
Look, we know that Jonas and Hannah filed a restraining order.
I-It’s not what you think.
I know now I’ll never be able to break them apart.
I’ve moved on.

Actually, I read your latest paper on mass spectrometry acceleration.
Your writing’s not that hard to understand.
Any progress with our piece of driftwood?
Looks like we’re about to find out.
What can you tell us of its provenance?
It had been buried for millennia until seismic activity brought it to the surface seven years ago.
An archeology expedition retrieved it when they recognized its antiquity.
Where exactly was it?
Just south of Armenia.
It may have originated elsewhere, but the Vatican was never able to…
[Device beeping]
So, wait. There is something else here.
Trace elements of biological material fused between the shards.
Any idea what that could be?
No.
I’d like to extract a sample and run a DNA test in my lab.
Whatever this is could help us figure out what the wood is.
Take the day.
Report your findings directly back to me.
♪♪
Why would the Calling warn us about Rachel if she has moved on? Maybe she hasn’t.
The restraining order must’ve had some grounds to it. So, what?
She’s trying to convince herself that she’s okay, but the Calling actually wants us to help her heal?
It would explain why you and I of all people got this Calling.
We’ve had to do our fair share of healing.
I find it odd that Jonas didn’t mention they went to Jamaica together.
And that Rachel returned by herself when she wasn’t feeling well.
Why do I get the impression that everyone we’ve talked to is either lying to themselves or to us?

Looks like you were right.
Check it.
The biological material we extracted?
Looks like it was a bird.
An extinct member of the Phasianidae family.
It’s not just any bird. It’s a peacock.
And either this sequencer needs recalibrating, or both the peacock and the wood DNA samples are roughly 6,000 years old.
No. [Sighs]
That can’t be right.
How is it possible that this peacock has the exact same DNA anomaly as every 828 passenger, as the Meth Heads, as Zeke?
Do think that 6,000 years ago, this peacock disappeared and returned, just like your plane?
Well, we haven’t found this genetic anomaly anywhere else in the world.
Maybe it’s no accident seismic activity coughed up this driftwood.
Maybe we were actually meant to find it.

Hey, you find the, uh, accident records?
Uh, Diaz is printing up your copy.
Oh.

She’s sweet, sensitive.
I guess I’m just protective of you, so, um…
Hey, sorry it took so long.
Copy machine tried to eat the damn thing.
Thanks.
Pretty brutal collision.
Rachel was taken to the ER with a concussion and a couple broken ribs.
March 12, 2013.
That was less than a month before 828 disappeared.
I mean, no wonder she wasn’t feeling good in Jamaica.
Hey, you haven’t heard the worst yet.
The other driver in the collision?
Jonas Hall.
Rachel’s husband?
Okay, uh, yeah, I’m no expert, but it looks like this car T-boned the S.U.V.
And Rachel was in the S.U.V.
He crashed into her on purpose.
Um… okay, what happened to that restraining order?
There’s only one violation, two weeks ago.
A neighbor called it in.
Why? Was no one home?
Hannah was, but I guess she refused to press charges when Rachel agreed to leave.
So, Hannah takes out a restraining order but then refuses to enforce it?
None of it adds up.
Um, does that neighbor have a name?
Ron Williams.
Thank you.
So, you really think your friend can explain how a piece of driftwood surfaced after 6,000 years?
Troy: If anyone can, it’s him.
Now, full disclosure… Nerd alert.
Oh. Hey, Patrick.
You have a sec? Uh, Dr. Bahl.
Um, I thought I had a few more hours before I had to send you my report.
Oh, not here for that, big guy.
Saanvi, meet my gaming buddy, Dr. Patrick Cooper.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Let’s talk earthquakes.
What can you tell us about the one that unearthed the piece of driftwood we got from the Vatican?
The region where the driftwood was found has an abundance of fault lines.
Odds are a series of quakes moved it inch by inch up to the surface over time, not unlike the seismic activity that unearthed 828’s tailfin.
Wait, you’re saying an earthquake is what brought the Tailfin up from the ocean floor?
It’s just a theory.
And yet, the quake in question is a ghost.
Wait. What?
Take a look at this.
People claim to have felt it, but there’s no dip separation, there’s no shearing, nothing.
If these tectonic plates could talk, they’d say that quake never happened.
But it took something to shake the Tailfin off the bottom of the ocean floor, just like how it took something to make the driftwood surface.
That’s what I said.
But if they don’t see it, no one believes it.
Captain Daly, the 828 pilot, said that dark lightning hit the plane, and nobody believed him.
Dark lightning is a burst of gamma radiation… invisible.
A seismic ghost?
Sorry, weather’s not my department.
You want to talk about a dormant volcano coughing up an ancient piece of driftwood, I’m your guy.
Did you just say a dormant volcano?
Yeah, where the driftwood was found. Why?

Michaela: Hi, there.
Can I help you?
Yeah, we’re looking for Ron Williams.
Oh, Mr. Williams isn’t home.
Uh, we just wanted to ask him a few questions about an incident from a few weeks ago.
He called the police.
Yeah. Next door.
Sad situation.
Were you here that day?
I work here every day, and there’s always drama going on over there.
With Mr. Hall’s ex-wife?
Nah.
She doesn’t come around that much.
But the current wife… I don’t know why she stays with that guy.
She seems like a nice lady, too.
Uh, what do you mean?
He’s out every night, and when he’s home…
Shouting, throwing things.
He’s abusing her?
Mr. Williams apparently doesn’t hear any of that.
Huh. Maybe it’s ’cause he plays golf with Mr. Hall.
But when the ex-wife comes to help her sister, all of a sudden, it’s a 911.
I’m sorry. Hold on. Rachel comes to help?
I still have a pile of laundry to fold, if you don’t mind.
Well, that paints a different picture. [Sighs]
I wonder if that’s what Rachel meant when she said, “It’s not what you think.”
Rachel left Jamaica to get away from Jonas.
Came back and found him married to her sister.
So, maybe Rachel’s Calling and ours wasn’t about closure.
It was about protecting Hannah.
Or protecting all of us.
Our Lifeboat.
[Car door opens]
You said the driftwood was found south of Armenia.
Just… how far south are we talking?
Oh, 30, maybe 40 kilometers.
Okay, that would put us in Turkey.
In Eastern Turkey, to be exact. That’s correct.
You never said anything about it being near a dormant volcano, and there’s only one dormant volcano in that region…
Mount Ararat.
And what does that mean to you?
A seismic event on the day of our disappearance yielded a 6,000-year-old piece of extinct cypress, most likely a vessel transporting animals, laden with sapphire, found near Mount Ararat which is historically known for one thing.
Go on, Saanvi. You can say it.
Mount Ararat is believed to be the final resting place of…
Noah’s Ark.

The driftwood really is a surviving piece of Noah’s Ark?
Perhaps. All the data seem to point us in that direction.
And… what if it is?
What if the vessel experienced the exact same phenomenon as Flight 828?
What if, indeed.
I’ve exhausted all means at my disposal trying to explain the disappearance and return of Flight 828 scientifically.
But now… now we may hold evidence of a direct link between the divine and the physical world.
If we can find a way to reverse-engineer that link, to deconstruct the miracle…
You’ll be able to create a miracle.
When the world finds out that Noah’s Ark is real, when the passengers realize that this may be a precedent for what happened to us… Vance: No one can know, Saanvi.
Flight 828 may be the most important event in human history.
We have to understand it first if we’re going to deconstruct and harness the power behind it.
But the passengers…
This happened to them, and they deserve to know.
And without Ben’s test results, we wouldn’t even be this far along.

Every day, there are countless passengers out there ready to do something to ruin everyone’s chances!

Did you think I was just gonna cross my arms and do nothing?
No. Um, no.
I know you far too well to know that that would never happen, but Ben…
I don’t want to lose you.

Mick, Hannah’s asking to speak to you.

Go home.
[Door closes]
Hannah: Thank you for pulling some strings to get me back here.
No problem. I’m a sister, too.
We have enough evidence to make sure Jonas pays for what he did to both of you.
And what’ll happen to Rachel?
She was just trying to protect me.
She’ll have to face charges.
I don’t care.
As long as you’re safe.
Given the circumstance, though, I think the judge will be sympathetic.
Especially if you were to testify on her behalf.
Of course.
She only did this to save me.
Justice finds a way in the end.

Well, this is a surprise.
Obviously, now that I have my wallet, I figured I’d use it to, um try to buy some forgiveness.
Nothing to be forgiven.
I’m sorry I showed up unannounced.
[Chuckles] You made my coworkers’ day.
They were burning me non-stop about us dating.
Dating, huh?
I guess it depends if you like tulips.

Hey.
Hey.

You’re just in time. Smells like it.
Thought you needed something special after the day you had.
It actually turned out okay.
Um, I’m just mad I missed Cal’s book fair.
How’d it go? Fine.
I ended up getting strong-armed into buying way too many books by the object of Cal’s affections,
but other than that, all good.
I’m sorry, wait. Cal has a crush?
Oh, my gosh.
Now I’m really mad I missed it.
Wow, love is in the air.
What do you mean?
Uh, Jared is dating Sarah.
Sarah “the Major’s daughter” Sarah?
Yeah.
Isn’t that a little odd?
Uh, yeah.
I thought so, too, but you know what?
He seems happy, so I’m happy for him.
He deserves it.
[Thrumming]
This looks really good.
You didn’t need to do all this.
[Echoing] You didn’t need to do all this.
You okay?
[Thrumming stops]
Hell no.
Our food’s getting cold.
[Normal voice] Let’s eat.

Don’t look so bummed out.
You did a good thing today.
Mm. Tell that to Mick.
I think she’s disappointed they didn’t press charges against me.
Well… I don’t disagree with her.
You could have been more careful.
But one way or another, we gotta protect this Lifeboat.
For Cal, for Eden, for Olive, for all of us.

“Angelina is like family.”
Hey, Ol. I need some advice.
Uh, sorry. Just me.
Olive’s not back yet.
O-Okay.
I do happen to give really great advice, though.
If you need it, I mean.
Alright, well, there’s this girl at school, and her birthday’s coming up, and… I just don’t know what to get her.
You should give her something of yours, something special.
I’ve seen your drawings.
Maybe you could draw her a picture.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Uh, no thanks necessary, but I do know a way you could return the favor.
Just don’t tell Olive about the dress.
It’ll just be our little secret.
Okay.
