At Sylvester's Saloon, the survivors and Berrington residents are finishing preparing the party.

Alicia: This place is going to look great.

Peter: Yeah...Oh, hey...Kyle....Sarah...Anna and Chris are asking for you. They're in the office. Said they had something to show you.

Kyle nods as he looks over at Sarah, then she takes his hand and squeezes it. Kyle smiles at Sarah, then goes to the office to talk to Chris and Anna.

Chris: Kyle...Sarah...

Kyle: Hey, Chris...what's this about?

Chris turns to Anna.

Chris: Anna, you want to tell them?

Anna: Check this out. I found a bunch of books on ships. There's some interesting things about fire at sea, and explosions. The key is the boiler.

Sarah: What are you talking about?

Anna: Chris and I have been talking and we have an idea about how to stop those assholes from ever coming back to Berrington after we've rescued the others and from hurting any ever again....we're going to blow up the boat.

Kyle: What?

Kyle turns to Chris.

Chris: I know it's risky, but it's the only way to make sure they don't come back.

Anna: Plus, it seems right, you know? For my uncle.

Kyle: I don't want to put down your enthusiasm, but we're going to be on that boat, too. Please. Let's not get ourselves killed.

Anna: What? No!

Chris: Look, I did some tweaking and we've made a bomb. I'll make sure there's enough time for all of us to get out of there.

Anna: Kyle, this will work. Trust me.

The music starts in the saloon just as Kyle, Sarah and Chris turn, before Anna speaks again.

Anna: And guys...I'm sorry for before. About how I treated Alicia. I didn't mean to get so angry...I know it's not her fault.

Sarah: That's nice, Anna, but don't tell us. Tell Alicia. 

Kyle walks downstairs and hears the music playing then sees Savannah starting to dance which made the others laugh. Anna starts to go over to Alicia and shows her the bomb she's making. Anna then looks up at Alicia.

Anna: Hey, Alicia. I'm sorry.....

Alicia nods, before Anna hugs her.

Alicia: I'm sorry, too, Anna.

Anna: Want to take a look at this bomb?

Alicia: Sure.

The two sit down and discuss the bomb. Chris enters from the office just as Shawn, James, Cassandra, Rocky, Margaret, Kayla, Rachel, Savannah, Hunter, Peter, Connor, John and Bryan arrive.

Cassandra: Wow....

Shawn: This place looks amazing, Kayla!

Shawn walks up to Kayla, hugging her.

Kayla: It wasn't all just me. Why don't we go ahead and mingle.

Chris walks over to Alicia and Anna.

Chris: Oh, well, I see you two are working together.

Alicia: Yeah, Anna asked me to help with her special project.

Chris: Well, that's good.

Kyle: Is it ready?

Anna: Good to go, Kyle.
