EPISODE 2

Three months have passed, and Meyer is still missing. We see how the world has been reacting, via the news on the TV in the bunker. No shots outside of the bunker, because we’re feeling claustrophobic, closed in. We see the complete and instantaneous destruction of Moscow and the annihilation of a few other cities by the alien ships, plus humans’ complete inability to fight back, including (desperately) with ineffective nukes. Meanwhile, we see that there is a small crowd gathered outside the ranch that has swelled into a small colony, all searching for … something. Almost as if the ranch really is the spiritual, ayahuasca-inspired place that Meyer believed when he built his bunker there and called it his “Axis Mundi.” Again, no shots outside of the bunker; these shots are seen on the CCTV cameras from down inside the bunker. 

Finally, we show shots outside of the bunker: A group arrives among the colony: Morgan and his crew: Dan, Vincent, Christopher, Cameron, and Terrance. They immediately stand out from the colony, clearly have a plan and know something the others don’t. A lot of somethings. 

Meanwhile, in Moab, Utah, scientist and alien theorist Benjamin Bannister is in his lab trying to gather intelligence from the few networks that are still online. Morgan’s crew, whom we have learned were sent by Bannister but who went a little power-mad under Morgan’s command since, begins trying to find ways to break into the bunker, while remaining inconspicuous to the crowd. 

Tensions are high below. Lila can see the men who are trying to break in — not on the CCTVs but psychically, in her head … and she can hear them in her head too. They’re talking about cutting the power. She wants to say something to Heather, because she can feel something coming, but what if she’s crazy? Again the group is contemplating Meyer’s return when the lights go out, the generators silenced. Lila panics. Then the battery-powered backup lights kick on and she hears the drilling she knew would come next. They hear something dripping, then the smell of gas in the generator room, and now a forming puddle. Piper yells at Trevor to close the door and he slams it shut as they hear a frump of fire, then an explosion. Piper runs to the control room to pull the lever for the halon system. Heather remembers all this from a dream she’s been having for months, then recalls Meyer’s warning and screams, “Piper, no!” 

But it’s too late — with the halon system set off, the cylinder locks on the front door disengage so everybody can get out. The family is trapped, and these strangers are coming for them. 

This episode focuses on the ever-present ghost of a Meyer that is no longer with them, the mounting danger of Morgan and his crew, and information about what is happening in the world thanks to first the bunker’s TV and then check-ins with Benjamin Bannister at the Moab facility. 

EPISODE 3 

Morgan and his crew (Dan, Vincent, Christopher, and Terrence) storm the bunker. Trevor shoots and misses, Raj’s attempt doesn’t even get off the ground — and neither will he, for a while, wearing that stupid gas mask — and then they’re all pinned down and held as captives. 

The hostage situation is tense, though better than what the family suffered at the hands of Garth and his henchmen. At least they learn from the men (who got the info from Benjamin) that Meyer was indeed taken by one of the ships. That’s why all the hippies are camping out above: they want to be next if the ships return. Morgan, who’s kind of an asshole even among his men, says the family’s presence is a liability to 1) their info-seeking about Meyer Dempsey and 2) their control of the bunker. He’s about to make some tough decisions when, suddenly, his brains splatter all over Piper. Christopher has had enough, saw a moral crossroads coming, and decided to act before it’s too late. Now that he’s shot Morgan, he drops his weapon. Cameron speaks up: “It’s okay, we’re the good guys.” They came to help but had to wait until they got in so they could double-cross Morgan, who Cameron and the others brought on as a necessary evil because getting through and getting in would have been impossible otherwise. Christopher explains that all of the 25k other folks abducted by the aliens (like Meyer has been) have been returned. There are only nine who are still MIA. Meyer is one of them. Benjamin Bannister, Cameron’s father, believes that The Nine are somehow significant and that’s what they’re there to find out, starting with digging up info about Mr. Dempsey.

Heather has more dreams and visions. The centerpiece is a Pyramid and Meyer explaining that it’s a beacon and an inductive charge — a way of providing power without needing the power source aboard. Images flip past. She doesn’t understand any of it, but does her best to remember it all on waking. Meyer says: “Protect it for me, Heather. Protect what will allow me to return.” 

Cameron gathers Meyer’s research (prep plans, basically; Meyer really did know “something” was coming, even if it was just via drug trips) from the bunker’s computer system and prepares to leave. He has to take the files to Moab, to his father’s lab, for analysis. Trevor says he wants to go with him — and we see that Trevor accidentally found himself spying on a naked, changing Piper, and that the embarrassment is one reason it’s too hard to stay.

This episode introduces Cameron as a main character, establishes the link between he and Benjamin, and the initial spark between Cameron and Piper. It also shows what will be later chemistry between Lila and Christopher, especially since Raj starts to suck harder in this episode. It ends when Piper shuts Trevor down and says that no, she’ll be the one who accompanies Cameron to Moab. 

EPISODE 4

Back in the bunker, Lila’s on the toilet clutching her abdomen, her visions increasing. In them she sees a ghostly hole in the ground, wide and dark and mysterious, deeper than anyone has ever been. She’s realized she’s seeing things before they happen, and phrases like “Plug the hole” are stuck in her head. Suddenly the pain is gone. And now we know: those visions and thoughts aren’t coming from her head. They’re coming from her stomach. From the baby growing inside her.

Cameron has Piper dress like a man for the journey and they head out at first light. After a few hours they run into a roadblock and then a dead cop. They see the killer, but the killer can’t see them. They navigate safely around the murderer … and that’s when they hear the screams. Cameron and Piper follow the scream to find a small boy crying as his parents are being beaten. Piper fires her gun and scares the bad guys away, despite Cameron wanting to ditch them. The small family is grateful and begs to go with them and Cameron reluctantly agrees. They find a barn and horses and settle in for the night. When Cameron wakes early the next morning he discovers how lucky they were to sleep with their guns, because their new companions are gone — and they took all their supplies. 

Back in the bunker, Trevor chats amiably to Christopher while Raj messes with his phone-watch hopelessly looking for a signal. Terrence yells for Vincent, “You need to see this. Now!” 

We get more information from Benjamin in Moab: more about the world, the invasion, and the threat of a warlord out there called Nathan Andreus who’s building an outlaw army. Benjamin, who knows more about Ancient Aliens Theory and alternative archaeology than Giorgio Tsoukalos (look him up) is further developing his oldest theory about why the aliens are here.

This episode initiates a deeper bond between Piper and Cameron, shows the growing tension between Lila and her mother and their conflicting visions, makes Benjamin even more of a person of significant interest, heightens the mystery around Andreus, the aliens, and the world at large, and makes viewers enjoy the company of men they considered thugs just a couple of episodes before. Lila feels her first flutters of affection for Christopher. The last shots of this episode are mysterious, ominous, showing someone sneaking into a dark storage closet in the bunker and chipping away at the cement floor … we can’t tell who exactly is digging, but we begin to see a glow of something under the bunker floor. Something that the bunker was built atop, that nobody (except our mystery digger) had any idea was there.

EPISODE 5

Benjamin is standing outside his Moab ranch, preparing for the arrival of a man that they can see approaching. He is wearing the Andreus insignia, and he is carrying a severed head like a trophy. Or a warning. 

After a while, Cameron and Piper ride their horses to discover two long lines of stones (like the Carnac Stones of Ancient Aliens theory), over 300 tons of granite a piece, heading to the right and left as far as the eye can see. Strange psychic phenomena ensues as they get nearer the stones — and it’s a living nightmare, with flashes of “Murder!” and “Kill!” … and it’s getting closer. 

At the bunker, Lila feels as if she’s going insane. She can’t stop the “Plug the hole!” screaming in her head. She hears a loud thud inside the control room and walks in to see what Terrence is yelling about. On the monitor, the hippies waiting outside the house are looking at something. There’s another thud. And another. And another. Lila’s in a daze. “It’s all beginning,” she says. 

The crowds are growing. Campsites are blocking their vents. That’s why the alarm keeps going off. This is a problem that promises to get worse, and fast. 

In Moab, Benjamin is explaining some of his theories to one of Andreus’s couriers. It’s basic stuff, but Andreus wants to “know what he knows,” and that’s about all Benjamin is willing to tell a man he doesn’t trust and hasn’t met face to face. The courier leaves and Benjamin says, “Next time he’ll want to know about the stones.” 

Cut to Cameron saying that one of his father’s theories is that the aliens use these stones, among other things, to gather unseen information like thoughts and bioenergy. They’re as strong as industrial batteries, the kind that will erase your credit cards, but they should be fine. They’re about to find out. The psychic screaming is just getting started.

Heather is in a dream with Meyer watching Cameron and Piper navigate through giant stones on horseback. Meyer tells her Lila is in trouble, and not to block what’s blocked from below, and a few other cryptic messages. And then he’s gone. Heather wakes in the bunker to an ear-piercing alarm. 

This episode sets up Andreus as a very real threat, heightens the ancient aliens intrigue, fosters the bonding of our friends in the bunker, and tightens the relationship between Cameron and Piper. They did wake up together in the beginning of this episode after all. 

EPISODE 6

It’s slow going for Piper and Cameron. Piper has a bad feeling and has convinced Cameron that they need to avoid the trees by using the stream below. A gunshot thunders above. Piper knows what’s happening, who it is — she sees it in her head, as if she’s living it. Her mind is melded with Cameron’s and they remember a word — Andreus — and a horror flick about a guy with a machete wearing a cowboy hat that was too small. A head lands in the ravine next to them and rolls to a stop, its dead eyes staring into nothing. They jump on their horses and gallop away but are seen by a man running down the hill. The chase for their lives through the deep ravine ensues.

The crowds outside the ranch house are now a pressing danger, and our friends back in the bunker are trying to figure out what to do. 

Benjamin gets an amazing bit of intel that illuminates a big part of the mystery, and sets up much of the second season with the various capitals, including Heaven’s Vail (which will basically be Vail, Colorado, centered around Meyer’s ranch).

On the road to Moab, Cameron and Piper are still in danger of attack, and both of their minds are screaming. They have only one way out: down. Into the ground. They spook the horses to chase them away, then bury themselves in the filthy leaves and muck, communicating with their minds, as the ATVs pass. When it’s all clear, they climb back up to the top of the hill, silent from the flashes of hatred and violence forced into their heads.

Back at the Axis Mundi, Terrence plans to create a controlled fire that sends smoke through the vents, causing a distraction that clears people out of the house above. But Vincent won’t say what would happen next. Heather is getting increasingly agitated.

Out of the ravine and in the clear, Cameron and Piper can no longer hear each other’s thoughts. (Must have been those stones, making things easier). But they find a farm, pack up food and water, and head out, once again, on horses. Cameron can’t shake the feeling that they’re being watched. And he’s not wrong. 

This episode is especially frightening, and focuses on Piper finding her strength and beginning to understand what is happening, while also somehow feeling what is happening back at the ranch. It ends when Terrence sets the fire. 

EPISODE 7

They have set the fire and plumes of smoke are now rising into the air and distracting the hippies above. They are watching on the monitors below, about to sneak out of the bunker. A group from the bunker heads into the trees after leaving via an air vent, but when the group reaches a clearing they stop short. Right in front of them is a titanic stone finger pointing straight into the sky, just like the ones Cameron and Piper ran into in the last episodes.

Cut to Benjamin and Co. in Moab, talking, relaying incidents of strange phenomena around the stones. How they’re being laid all over the entire freaking planet.

Then back to the bunker, where Christopher and the others discover another stone after the first. Then four. Six. And more. Rows and rows. That explains the loud THUMPING! from earlier. The stones circle the property. Something is different about the lake — they’re being watched. The hippies seem fixated on that lake, but they’re too afraid to go near it. Vincent wants to find out why.

Four days and still Piper and Cameron have heard nothing from Dan and the others. Piper and Cameron finally arrive at the lab in Moab, Utah. A mothership hovers above it. “They think Meyer’s in there,” Cameron says, nodding at the mammoth sphere floating above the cliff. It should be a big deal, but that’s why Benjamin put his lab there. It only shocks Piper. Unlike the big deathbringers that destroyed Moscow and such, this ship has done nothing but hover. 

Touching the stones, Terrence and Christopher’s minds link together and they focus on the next part of the plan and start placing explosives to destroy the house to get rid of the hippies that keep blocking the vents to the bunker below. Then suddenly, as if reading their thoughts, an alien sphere appears in the sky. They stop. Christopher is sure that the aliens know their plan, and that they don’t like it. Hippies are running and stomping toward the craft, eager to get a gander at aliens and hopefully be “taken” like Meyer was taken. Our crew books it back to the bunker, pounding on the door as the craft hovers nearby. “Let us in!” But Vincent is killed by the ship, practically burned to cinders, as the others barely make it back inside. 

This episode makes viewers fall in love with Terrance — if they weren’t in love with him already — cranks up the chemistry between Lila and Christopher, as well as Piper and Cameron as they complete their journey, and adds a lot of explosive action with both the fire and the alien attack. It ends with Vincent’s death.

EPISODE 8

Three Months Later

Piper and Cameron are now living together in a cute little house by the Moab lab, and there’s still been no word from the others in the bunker, back in Vail. Piper wakes Cameron, mirroring Lila’s ominous pronouncement: “I think it’s starting.” 

Back at the bunker, Heather is steadily losing her shit. Or maybe that’s Lila. Could be both. Which one of them is digging through the bunker’s cement floor in the storage room? Who knows. After nervously circling one another for far too long, Lila finally tells her mother about her visions and asks if she talks to her father in her dreams. Heather nods then looks at Lila’s six-months-pregnant belly. “I’ve had feelings about you, too.” There is an odd psychic phenomenon between them, and neither trusts the other. 

Piper and Cameron head to Benjamin’s lab. Benjamin and Cameron (Ben’s son) do their best to get along, but their relationship is strained. We learn a bit about their troubled past, then Benjamin tells them that the network the aliens have been building using the big stones is to harvest our thoughts, and now that network is finished. Piper says again that “it’s about to start” and looks up toward the lab’s ceiling. Toward the ship hovering above. “I can hear Meyer. He’s in the ship, and he wants to come home.” 

Heather wakes Trevor and says that Lila isn’t right. “She thinks her baby is talking to her. Like baby Jesus or something.” Heather shows Trevor a hole in the floor, chiseled by hand, and a light shining through from beneath. Lila thinks whatever is down there is bad and has to be destroyed. Trevor is shocked. “Did Lila do that?” Heather laughs and says no, she did. Meyer told her to protect it. 

Back in Moab, Benjamin’s nerdy and socially awkward partner Charlie says they’re facing a test. Humanity has been through these tests before, and they’ve all ended in the destruction of civilization. Every single time, for who knows how many millennia. He cites many Ancient Aliens theories that are out there on the Internet right now, in real life, outside of this TV series. Aliens, Charlie says, have always contacted us throughout history. But contact is just phase one. Phase two is extermination. 

This episode is about the unraveling that is happening at the bunker, specifically between Lila and Heather, the developing adult relationship between Cameron and Benjamin which rehashes a lot of their past and why Benjamin knows so much about the aliens (he dragged Cameron around the world as a kid on errands of bizarre conspiracy theory), and the intimacy that has developed between Cameron and Piper despite Meyer being supposedly just above their heads.  

EPISODE 9

Lila and Christopher have a post-coital conversation, and we see how they’ve been careful yet reckless to sneak around Raj in a tiny bunker. She tells him that the aliens left something behind the last time they were here, something they need to plug into for the next phase of their plan. She needs him to ask Terrence for help. 

In Moab, Charlie tells Cameron that the mothership will likely go to Meyer’s house in Vail where the “other brain” is. And that Piper still loves Meyer and when she starts talking to him they will no longer be able to trust her. Cameron must stay with Piper and stick to her like glue. They’re almost out of time … Charlie leans in to see what Cameron is looking at. It’s Piper, running out of the lab and outside. She’s in a daze, looking up at the sky. Cameron runs for Piper, screaming for her to WAKE UP! as she rises quickly in a beam of light and is swallowed by the ship. Then it disappears. Cameron catches the final flicker of Piper’s thoughts. She’d seen Meyer, calling her home. But he’d heard his thoughts too. Charlie emerges from the lab. “They took her,” Cameron says, “as bait.” 

This episode starts bringing everything to a close and establishing many of the events that will anchor the following season while also setting up Christopher’s hostile takeover of the bunker that begins the season’s final episode. It ends with Piper’s abduction/homecoming. 

EPISODE 10

Heather tries to convince Trevor to be on her side, but he doesn’t like her sudden eagerness. Or the fact that she’s spent her nights chipping through concrete like a trapped animal. Or the strange yellow light barely visible through the hole, or the sound of water. And why had his father okayed building atop whatever was below them? The spheres that killed Vincent have yet to leave, as if they know what was happening and are protecting the place. But what are they waiting for? And what will happen when the wait was over? 

Christopher is holding a black tablet. Lila is beside him, one hand on her big belly. He’s going to set off a bomb above, creating a distraction so they can leave and slam the door behind them. Then he’ll trigger the explosives he planted in the generator room and destroy the bunker before it’s too late. But there’s a standoff … 

Back at Moab, and throughout the episode, Benjamin is documenting what is happening around Moab, Vail, and the world, setting things up for Season Two.

Lila and Christopher are trying to convince Terrence and the others that Lila is right and Axis Mundi (and that glowing thing below it — the “hole” Lila’s vision tells her to plug) must be destroyed. Lila and Heather fiercely argue, throwing out their visions and intuitions as evidence that each is right. 

Then Piper is suddenly at the bunker door — no longer in Moab, she’s now back in Vail! She wants to be let in. Christopher looks toward the door and Trevor grabs control of the tablet. He wants them to let Piper in, but they can’t. Once the door opens the people waiting above will see them and swarm. So Trevor sets off the outside explosion … and then tells them to open the door. 

All the people above the bunker are at the lake staring at a mothership, caring more about the ship than any explosion. Trevor, still holding the tablet, gets to Piper outside the door. She seems different. Lila runs toward them — “It’s a trap! It’s a trap! They sent Piper here as bait! Get back to the —!” 

Trevor watches as the house is destroyed by a beam of light from the bottom of the mothership. The ship follows the beam down to the destroyed bunker, lowering itself to dock — because that’s what the light beneath the bunker was: a docking station. 

And then Meyer emerges from the craft, returned home at last. He’s still wearing a suit, but he’s changed, or has evolved from who he was before.

Piper (who does indeed seem to be Piper; she’s just disoriented and has arrived mysteriously) asks if the ships are there to wipe them out. 

Meyer, wearing a maddening smile, says no. Behind him the enormous mothership idles and hums. Large, human-shaped silhouettes wait in the doorway. There are pops and crackles as the ship harvests thoughts from below. Gathering information. Watching them all. Meyer says, “They’re here to save us.” 

This episode answers the most pertinent season questions and then ushers in a new handful for the following year. It ends with the ship landing, and a creepy Meyer coming home … bringing his alien friends.

Season 2: Colonization

Colonization establishes the new world order — the same place, but a new setting. An alien one. It’s time to deliver on our promises of aliens and more aliens, bitches.

Two years have gone by and there are now nine capitals around the world. The aliens are allowing humanity to live peacefully within the capitals as long as everyone obeys the peacekeepers, but it’s a lawless landscape outside the city walls. Inside the capitals there is slavery, disguised as order. Meyer is the viceroy of the newly christened Heaven’s Veil. Piper has been returned, but Meyer and Piper now have weird trust issues — entirely understandable, considering Meyer has the aliens in his head and Piper has fallen in love with Cameron. Speaking of Cameron — he’s left Moab and, with Andreus’s help, attempts (and barely succeeds) to rescue Piper from Heaven’s Veil. The insect-like peacekeepers (outside of the “peacekeeper” job title, this Astral class is called “Reptars”) make it a close call, but Trevor escapes with them as well.

Benjamin’s research into alien history has to do with the Freemasons and their connection to the Latter-day Saints, so Benjamin and the rest of the Moab group travel to the Mormon Genealogical Archives. They invade the archives … but they’re playing a double game, pretending they don’t know the aliens are watching them, leading the aliens to believe they’re looking for something that the aliens desperately need to find. But only a few know the truth while most of the group is left in the dark to keep the secret from the mind-reading aliens. With their plan in place, they spring into action, heading into a separate area of the archives, and grab the map they need and try to escape. Key word: try.

But it’s a trap … the aliens are actually shapeshifters, and the seemingly harmless Titans morph into Reptars, and oh my god it’s a blood bath. The Reptars shred the humans like bloody confetti, killing most of them off. Cameron, Andreus, his lieutenant, and a few others find a way to escape through a secret passage. Piper has an opportunity to get there, but she’ll never make it before meeting the Reptars’ needly teeth. In the last second, Trevor pushes her into the tunnel, sacrificing himself. Piper watches as he’s disassembled by a group of Reptars. 

Back in Heaven’s Veil, Raj, suspicious of Meyer and trying to curry favor with the aliens, shoots Meyer point-blank in the gut. Colonization ends with the shocking reveal that the aliens simply re-spawn an alien-clone of Viceroy Meyer on their ship after the first clone dies. The real Meyer Dempsey has a long beard and has been a prisoner on the mothership since the end of the pilot episode.

Season 3: Annihilation

We pick up immediately after the events of Colonization. The resistance has nearly been wiped out, their numbers reduced to a fraction. Meyer has fallen, along with all hope. There’s conflicting stories between this Meyer and the one who died in Heather’s arms, and she’s falling into paranoia because of it. Thor’s Hammer, the item the Moab group has been desperately searching for, brings the promise of salvation — but the remnants of humanity must find the device before the aliens do, or the fate of Earth will be sealed. And not in our favor.

Now there’s officially two Meyers in the story: the replica (the suave but creepy-smiling viceroy) and the real deal, tattered and bearded on the mothership.

Annihilation is basically a bomb in the Invasion series’ closet — a reset button, if you will — that tells the audience that everything they think they know is wrong. It ends with Heaven’s Veil’s destruction … and our heroes getting the hell out of there. In a less-than-perfect world in which we only get three seasons of Invasion instead of the whole mind-fuck that is Season Six, this third season can act as closure for the audience.

Season 4: Judgment

Judgment is steeped in ancient human/alien history, so the best place to start? An epic Mad Max–esque drive through the badlands, of course! Cameron and his group of survivors head to the Middle East — with the help of Aubrey and his employer, Peers — to face what they fled years ago. Accompanied by a strange wanderer, they must confront the judgment archive in its new location — Ember Flats, the former site of Giza, beyond the infamously unpassable wasteland known as Hell’s Corridor … where the final judgment will take place. 

But things are not as they seem (as you may have guessed). Ember Flats’ viceroy, Mara, along with the secret society hiding within her government, has been keeping secrets to keep the city calm. We finally learn a lot about Clara’s creepy psychic abilities, and why the aliens have returned now instead of thousands of years into the future when they were supposed to — all because of a boy who was somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be. Now humanity awaits judgment. Mara’s secret organization and the secret they’ve been keeping and their relationship to the aliens comes out, and now nowhere is safe. But when they’re double-crossed, the group puts into action a risky plan to save their species before judgment comes. 

Alas … it ends with judgment. Hellfire’s about to rain. This is the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers, and audiences will be begging for us to speed up production on Season Five.

Season 5: Extinction

Extinction paints a picture of global destruction, but the cameras aren’t afraid to close in and give us a beautiful character-driven story. 

The “Eternity Ship” arrives. Judgment is over, and we failed. The extinction that follows can only be described as biblical. The aliens are doing what they’ve done over and over again — brought down devastation and ruin, all while testing our response. Every single time they come, they test us, we fail, they leave. Lather, rinse, repeat. 

As the final countdown begins, Meyer and his crew find themselves with only two options: stay in the city and die … or run into the coming apocalypse head-on and take their chances. But Clara is missing, and she’s found new and powerful friends. A Stranger has arisen with odd magic on his hands, keeping secrets that even the overlords don’t know. Viceroys in the remaining capitals are tasked with eight disturbing challenges, to decide who among humanity lives or dies. Seven new leaders arise, each with their own unseen talents for the end of days. And as the death-bringers lay waste to the planet and herald the start of a new epoch, a new force brews out of nothing … one that even the aliens never saw coming. 

Extinction ends with the world flooded and humanity inevitably forgetting all that’s happened, like has happened many times before. And this little arc is floating on top of the only dry land that there is.

Season 6: Resurrection

Decades have passed. We’ve forgotten the aliens. We’ve forgotten our past. But we’re ready for a new start. 

At least that’s how it was supposed to end — but Clara and her friends, children called the Lightborn, have their foot in the door so the aliens can’t finish what they started. Clara is in a battle to free the minds of mankind, but she’s against a wall and has fallen into a trap. And the walls are beginning to come down. 

The aliens linger unseen, unable to leave, and there’s a new human mindscape that persists despite their best efforts to erase it. A human will that refuses to die. 

The children aren’t going to forget. It’s in their DNA.

Clara remembers and, slowly, everyone wakes up.
