After a fire kills one of the founders of Broke Jaw, Nick and Jeremiah bond by cleaning up the wreck, locating Jeremiah's prized antique revolver. Nick hopes Luciana will like the house but she leaves in the night.
Madison, Troy and their squad set out for the Black Hat Reserve, led by Qaletaqa Walker, on whose ancestral land Broke Jaw was built. Walker ambushes the squad who are forced to return in sock feet with a warning of an impending invasion.
During the trek back, Troy contemplates killing Madison. Alicia and Jake begin a relationship. Elsewhere, Strand leads Daniel to the hotel, but upon finding Ofelia was not present, Daniel abandons Strand to the dead.
Tropes:
- Chekhov's Gun: Jeremiah reveals that the gun the old man killed himself with is one Jeremiah gave to him long ago. It sat on the mantle for all the intervening years.
- Driven to Suicide: The old man in cold open kills himself after his wife dies.
- Purgatory and Limbo: Daniel suggests that the apocalypse is this for he and Strand.
- Put on a Bus: Luciana disappears from the group overnight.
