The 5th Wave Chapter 83 Summary

  • Here's Cassie. She's asking Sammy a bunch of questions.
  • Sammy informs her that the kids are supposed to be evacuated. Good to know.
  • Cassie doesn't think she'll be able to board the evacuation plane. She wonders if she and Sammy will be able to find some sort of alien escape pods that Evan told her about.
  • Sammy asks where their dad is. Oh man. Bad timing, buddy. Cassie decides to lie to him for the time being, which seems fair enough.
  • Now she and Sammy are walking down a corridor, trying to make their great escape. She notices a doctor coming towards them. We know it's Zombie.
  • She sees him reach for his pocket, so she pulls her gun on him. Smooth move.
  • Sammy jumps in between Zombie and the gun. He recognized his friend and doesn't want Cassie to shoot.
  • With a shock, Cassie realizes that Zombie is Ben Parish. She's floored. This was the guy she had a huge crush on in high school.
  • Slowly, everyone catches on. Zombie/Ben is super confused at first.
  • Finally, he decides to trust Cassie. He tells her that Vosch is an alien. Of course, she already knows.
  • She realizes she can probably trust him. He says he'll help them escape.
  • Cassie grabs Ben's hand and they take off towards the exit. Her dream is finally coming true… sort of.
