Ben must rush home as his home suffers vandalism from a group which calls the returned passengers 'terrorists' on their website and billboards, whose leader he unwisely confronts directly after they even throw a stone through his window. Ezekiel 'Zeke' Landon, whim Ben logically somewhat mistrusts as they know nothing about him, refuses to return to civilization, let alone be examined by Saanvi Bahl, whose lab door is also smeared by the 828-haters. Mikhaela stays with Zeke in the wood cabin, trying to get him to show her the cave where he lost a year, but he needs more time, he ends up doing so after sending her for hiking supplies, which leads them to a celestial twins petrograph and mutual confidences about guilt feelings.
