About

The Line

Peter and Caitlin appear in an empty Times Square. The streets are covered in litter, when Peter notices an evacuation notice on the ground, dated June 14, 2008. In the background, billboards of St. Joan are visible.

Out of Time

Peter and Caitlin walk through empty streets, as Peter shouts for someone. A truck pulls up, and a CDC hazmat crew climbs out, apprehending the two. Peter calls for Caitlin as they are taken away forcefully.

After being showered and forcefully split, a Homeland Security agent, Howard Lemay, tells Peter that Caitlin will be deported back to Ireland, and hands Peter his death certificate. Peter asks what is happening, and Howard shows him around the CDC building. He says that the Shanti virus wiped out 93% of the world's population, and then shows him a room filled with body bags.

Howard takes Peter to see Angela, where they embrace. Peter asks who she is, and she tells Peter that she is there to help him remember who he is. She explains that he knows about his power, and says that his brother died in the first outbreak. Angela requests for him to return back into the past and change the future. Peter delves into his mother's memory, and remembers who she is. They hug again.

As Angela leads Peter to their home, Caitlin calls for Peter in a deportation line. They try to grab ahold of each other, but Caitlin is dragged away before Peter can get to her. Suddenly, he disappears from the future.

On the way, the Lemays pick up Dylan, who is paranoid and frightened of dying. The four head to a Youngstown high school. As Howard radios Atlanta for help, his family is locked in the high school and accidentally infected with the virus; Howard is forced to abandon his condemned family.
