In this episode, the men and women have been marooned for almost a week. Following an emotional meeting on the beach, the two groups unite. The women feed the starving men from their supply of yucca, while the men stop the women drinking water from a stagnant lagoon. But both groups have dissenters who would rather the men and women remained apart. Iraq veteran Hannah, an amputee, attempts to unite and motivate. But as a vicious tropical storm rolls in, the deafening thunder and lightning have a devastating effect on her, and the fledgling community is left reeling.
