Alicia and Charlie get in a truck to head out. Strand told Janice to stay behind for laundry duty. Strand starts to tell Alicia that he reassigned her somewhere far away from himself. Strand says Alicia makes him remember being this person and he can't be ruthless if she is watching. "I don't wanna drag you down with me Alicia," he tells her. "I need to forget who I am but you don't." He hands her the necklace that Daniel gave her and heads off on his own before a ranger escorts Alicia away.

Inside, Strand is greeted by a ranger simply for wearing the key. He tries to talk to Daniel one more time but gets nothing, telling him he envies him for not remembering their journey.

"You look like you could use a haircut," Daniel says. "Good to see you, Morgan. I thought it was you she's looking for."

They shake hands.
