With Martha (Jenna Clause) in a catatonic state afterward the incident with the rabbit and her babies, Toni (Erana James), Dot (Shannon Berry), and Rachel (Reign Edwards) proceed to try to assistance Martha improve and return to herself at the recently-found hot spring. Meanwhile, with Fatin (Sophia Taylor Ali) and Shelby (Mia Healey) learning more than about the truth of the isle, they finally have that Nora (Helena Howard) was a spy for the people watching them. The two notice the map of the isle in Nora's journal and follow it to a communication device that confirms their suspicions. Even so, on the way there, Shelby hurts her leg later falling from a tree — matching the injury she has during her interview with Dr. Faber (David Sullivan) and Dean (Troy Winbush) in Season 1. Fatin and Shelby agree to keep what they've plant a hole-and-corner from the other girls for the fourth dimension being, fifty-fifty Leah, the group's resident cynic, which aligns with the notation that Shelby slips Leah in Flavor one that reads: "Yous were correct."

Meanwhile, Leah'southward hallucinations go along, equally she floats out into the bounding main where she woke up 49 days prior after the fake plane crash. Just, instead of the hallucinations being used to show Leah has lost her heed, they show how much Leah has grown over the concluding several weeks. She's no longer the girl she used to exist, only now is someone stronger with real connections to the others on the island. She's no longer heartbroken and obsessed with Jeff (Carter Hudson), the older man that broke her heart, only prepared to apply what people assume of her to her advantage, helping united states empathize how Leah causes everything to autumn apart during Stage 2 of Gretchen's experiment.

Once all the girls converge at the hot leap once again, anybody is in a much meliorate place than before. Fatin and Shelby keep quiet, merely are prepared to continue looking into the secrets of the island and let Leah in on what they plant within a few days. After Toni, Dot, and Rachel scream equally loudly as possible to vent their frustrations, Martha squeezes Toni'southward hand, showing that she volition (and does) survive their fourth dimension on the island, despite the series faking viewers out and making everyone believe she died during the kickoff flavour. Finally, Leah has a new lease on life and a new mission to obsess over, allowing her to relax for the first fourth dimension… well, probably since she was stranded on the island. Everything is right in the world, and they're content with each other and their situation (for the fourth dimension being), which makes the sudden arrival of a helicopter fifty-fifty more than stunning. Though, plain, we know the experiment is far from over.

When Seth is banished from the camp once again, the remaining boys are no longer tormented past the decision.

In Flavor 2, Episode 7, subsequently existence ostracized once more (rightfully so), Seth reaches out to Headquarters to be extracted from the island, challenge it'southward not safe. But, when Alex (Jarred Blakiston) arrives, Seth punches him and takes the boat.

In a fit of anger, Seth throws Kirin off of the boat in the eye of the ocean, attempting to start the motor and leave him in that location to drown.

How things play out from here is upwards in the air, as it's unclear how the groups volition go nigh coexistence. But, Gretchen even so has her mitt in things, so manipulation from the scientists behind the curtain is certainly not gone, fifty-fifty if they aren't actively watching how things on the island play out. Seth is still on the ground, fix to cause anarchy for everyone else. Whether Nora is nevertheless on the island is upward in the air, but because nosotros know she's live and at present Leah definitively knows too, information technology's but a affair of time earlier she shows up in some capacity. Gretchen'due south final words about having people on the ground, watching, leaves another huge question hanging over viewers: Has she recruited others from both groups to help the experiment unfold?
