- Roy heads to Utah and gets lost again. As he drives, he fumbles with maps and almost drives headfirst into the evacuees' cars.
- He passes cattle lying on the side of the road, looking dead.
- At the train station, he sees Jillian. It's chaos—evacuees shoving to get on trains, men hawking caged birds to use as tests of air quality.
