Sally and her crew return to Earth to implement the plan that sounds crazy. And in an unlikely spot in an urban neighborhood a miracle takes place.

Ian awakens to new challenges as the ship nears Earth. But are Sally's unusual plans for their return to Earth too paranoid or is she the only voice of reason? As the clock ticks on, decisions become more critical.

As Sally begins her long journney home, she has time to contemplate the question of the fate of the Ultrablitz. As she begins to explore the story of the mission, a critical clue comes to light. But does she have the right to interfere with history?

Sally and her crew are now on course for Earth, but they have a long and difficult journey ahead of them. Worse, they are now only beginning to explore who they may trust and who they shouldn't. And facing them is the memory of a longer journey that is yet incomplete. It is to this that Sally must find a solution.

Sally and Ian are reunited in the field of debris that is all that remains of the ultrablitz. But there is one more battle that must be completed before they can safely leave Baltan territory.

Sally's standoff with Dr. Beasley leads her to discover that her situation isn't as bleak as she first thought. But then all hell breaks loose as Ian carries out his deadly mission on the Ultrablitz.

Diego alone explains the plans to help Sally and Jackie escape the city, and he explains them only as they are about to be put into motion. The plan is insane, but it's all that's left. But, even as they approach the finish line, one critical detail is missed.

Sally confronts Diego after finally becoming fully alert and aclimated to the present. She questions his loyalties, but admires his discoveries. She also becomes aware of a machine he has restored which opens up a new world for their species and another.

Sally begins an operation that may prevent the dreaded blight from taking hold of one of her patients. But the stranger returns in the middle of the operation, bringing mahem. And then Sally wakes up to discover which reality was which. Now they must flee the city if they can do so in time.
