Shy and Carmen leave the penthouse in shock. They realize that the shot they were given must have been a vaccine for Romero Disease, which confuses them as there isn’t supposed to be a vaccine available yet. Shy goes looking for the duffel bag of medicine and for Shoeshine, and Carmen leaves to look for Christian and Marcus. They plan to meet up again at six o’clock to board the research ship that is supposed to take all the survivors home that evening.
Shy stops at Addison’s door before leaving the hotel, but no one answers when he knocks; as he leaves the building, he sees the island’s one helicopter lifting off the ship and flying away. He searches for the bag of medicine, but it isn’t there, so instead he takes a trail leading higher up the cliff to look for Shoeshine. He passes some researchers spraying the bushes and trees with something on the way. Eventually, he stops in a clearing at the very edge of a cliff, turns around, and sees Bill behind him. Shy confronts Bill about the quarantined survivors, the murdered scientists, and the bag of vaccinations, and Bill tells him he needs to show him something involving the death of his grandmother.
