Peter, Sarah and Dr. Kyle Sommers travel to a Northern Pacific island where a new disease has broken out. They are taken to a base for their safety, which is led by Brother Michael. Meanwhile, Julia travels to the same island and is captured by a mysterious person vvcxc.

Episode Overview

Day 1

Peter Farragut, Sarah Jordan, and newcomer Kyle Sommer arrive on a boat filled with dead bodies, trying to discover if it is in fact NARVIK. The bodies have mushroom-like growths on their faces and coming out of their mouths. Peter finds two passengers, both dead, holding knives covered in stab wounds. Sarah finds a lone surviving passenger, Leila, who freaks out and attacks Sarah. Kyle sedates the woman, while Sarah criticizes him for potentially compromising her immunity.

Having calmed down, Leila tell the doctors that she and the rest of the crew had gone to a mysterious island, that wasn't on their cruise. "After the third day, everyone started getting sick...then the screaming started." Clearly shaken up, Leila agrees to bring Peter, Sarah, and Kyle to the island. The Captain of the boat advices against it, saying that the island, named St. Germain, is in the middle of nowhere, and it will take two weeks before anyone can come pick them up.

When Peter, Sarah, Kyle and Leila arrive on the island, Leila begins to exhibit suspicious symptoms and appears to hallucinate a hooded figure before running off, scared. Sarah injures her foot in a spike trap following her, and Kyle subtly probes her for information about Alan while treating her injury.

The team finds a large number of human skulls in the forest, as well as (earlier on) a dead rabbit in a trap with its eyes cut out. They follow a blood trail left by Leila to a shed, where they find her body - strung up from the ceiling with its eyes cut out like the rabbit - before being surrounded by members of the cult, who bring them to their compound.

There, the three talk to Sister Anne, Sister Amy, and Brother Michael, and attempt to convince them that there is a dangerous pathogen on the island which the response team must investigate. Brother Michael rebuffs them and offers to let them stay in the compound. On the way out of the room, he brushes Sarah's shoulder with his hand.

Later on, in private quarters in the compound, a man in a hooded robe brings Sarah dinner. In a small surgical suite beneath the compound, members in hoods remove the teeth of a screaming woman in restraints before force-feeding her a yellow substance from a Mason jar, taken off a wall of similar jars.

Day 10,951

Thirty years in the future, Julia Walker lands on St. Germain and is almost immediately attacked by a man in a protective mask who cryptically asks her repeatedly "Do you know the way to San Jose?"

He brings her to the same shed where the response team found Leila, ties her to a chair, and advances on her with a tweezers. She struggles, believing he wants to remove her eyes, but he simply plucks off her brown contacts, revealing his knowledge of immortals (Julia, like all immortals, has silver eyes).

Clues

• In year 30:
  • Julia Walker's severed finger has not grown back though she clearly has a different prosthetic as seen in her opening scene on the dock at the island.
  • Julia is taken to Alan Farragut's grave.
