It also focuses on the lives of the survivors 25 years later in 2021, as the events of their ordeal continue to affect them many years after their rescue. In the episode, Misty meets the Citizen Detective in her search for Natalie, while Shauna confronts a hijacker. Flashbacks depict the aftermath of the feast, as the group prepares a baby shower for Shauna.
