In another trapped area, Ethan is fading and Zach tells him to focus. Zach tells Simone that Ethan is dehydrated and in shock, but he’ll be fine. Simone cries, saying that people start seeing their dead relatives just before they die. Simone asks Zach what he’s saying. Zach says the only thing that will keep Ethan alive is his hate for him. He needs to push him so he fights. Zach continues, saying he’ll be Ethan’s best man, or maybe he’ll give away the bride, if he doesn’t keep her for himself. Ethan tells him he wants his ashes for his wedding present. Ethan says time is running out – does Zach have any last wishes. Zach says the one thing he wants is to apologize to his son.

Lily keeps Jonathan from yelling to them, saying she doesn’t want to go back. Jonathan says they can’t stay here forever. Lily says if she wants to see him the only answer is to marry him. Jonathan says if she doesn’t love him she shouldn’t. He tells Lily they’ll come up with a good plan to stay together. They call out and Erin and Aidan dig and find them.

He will be there for her. He says he’ll move in with her if that’s what she wants. He wants to help her give their son the best start. They hear someone and yell for help.
