While Madison is frantic to get her family back, Daniel Salazar remains the coolest head in the room. The group holds Connor’s brother, Reed, as leverage. When Chris "accidentally" kills a taunting Reed, the rescue mission seemingly falls apart. However, Daniel turns a disaster into a tactical advantage:

: In a literal leap of faith, Alicia apologizes to Jack and jumps off the ship into the water to be rescued by Madison and Travis. It’s a definitive moment where she chooses blood over the potential safety of a new group. The Return of Alex

Alicia spends much of the episode in a strange "golden cage" scenario with Connor and Jack. While Connor tries to woo her with Omaha Steaks, Alicia is busy playing Jack to find a way out.

One of the biggest shocks of the episode is the return of Alex from the "Flight 462" webisodes . After being cut adrift by Strand in a previous episode, she has joined Connor’s crew. Her confrontation with Travis is a harsh reminder that every choice has a consequence; she’s no longer the survivor we met on the raft—she’s a woman fueled by the trauma of having to mercy kill her friend Jake .
