Three days have passed since the town of El Reno was destroyed by an EF5 tornado. Within those three days, Fallon, the rest of the YouTube crew, and even StormPAR assisted those who lost their homes, businesses, and loved ones. They helped clean up the town and salvage what they could while ensuring the survivors were all physically okay.
On the fourth day, there was nothing much for the storm chasers to do, so they waited for those who worked for the city to come in and take over before packing up and leaving.
Fallon had ridden with Kate and Javi on their way back to Sapulpa to see Cathy again and also pick up CJ, who was super excited to reunite with his owner again.
They spent the night on the farm after Cathy convinced them to stay for dinner which Kate couldn't seem to refuse. And Fallon wasn't the only one who noticed how close Kate and Javi had gotten.

Cathy couldn't help but make breakfast for all of them, wanting to learn more about their little excavations. And when Kate and Javi finally came down looking all tired and disheveled, Tyler was the first to poke fun at them.
Everybody knew they had a secret thing going on.
Eventually, when everything wired down, they all had to say their goodbyes to Cathy before getting on the road again.
It was sad because Fallon really loved Kate's mom, and decided she'd have to come back soon to see her again with or without Kate.
Around noon, the gang all set off, and this time, Fallon and CJ had chosen to ride with Tyler and Boone in the truck. Like last time, Boone and CJ were in the backseat while Fallon sat in the passenger.
They were all heading to Tulsa... to visit the Hardings.
Fallon had never felt so nervous in her life. The drive was only thirty-ish minutes which gave her approximately no time to mentally prepare. However, Boone had certainly made her feel better by being the clueless guy he was—
