Tide came in like a f*cking beast, swallowed up the whole camp.

Martha, come here.

Let me help.

I've got her.

I've got her.

Why is there so much water?

I've got you.

Come on.

Ladies and gentlemen, the tide is finally turning.

Thanks to your investment, we're closer than ever to ending the old paradigm and realizing our collective dreams for the future.

Fire, water...

"The tide is turning." Is that too cute?

- Too expected?

- [THOM]

Not at all.

I mean, you know, when an idiom works, work it.

No.

It's cheap.

Totally.

[GRETCHEN]

Okay.

Let's get back into it.

Fire, water, shelter: These are just a few of the milestones our subjects have reached thus far.

As you know, we began this project with a humble theory and just a whisper of hope that it would be borne out.

But the images you see before you and nearly every bit of data collected till now indicate that this study will deliver the outcome we've all been dreaming of.

Our independently minded subjects are starting to cohere, to share their thoughts and their fears, as they work toward solving the challenges they face together.

No, not the cave.

We move to gold cliff beach around the bend.

Doesn't seem like the tide's bitch, so, you know, maybe this Tsunami horseshit won't hit us again.

[NORA]

It's not as windy there either.

[DOT]

Yeah, which will come in handy, seeing as we no longer have a f*cking fire to keep us warm.

I hadn't thought of that.

Who was on fire duty last night?

Okay, technically, it was my turn, but Shelby practically begged me to sub her in, so who was I to deprive her of that pleasure?

Okay, good.

Yeah, definitely do that.

No, Rachel, that's not what I'm saying if you listen to me at all.

That's exactly what you're saying.

What I'm saying is that...

Why are we pointing fingers?

This wasn't anybody's fault.

It's true.

It was bigger than a normal tide.

Maybe from a storm or an offshore earthquake.

What?

It's the only thing keeping me human.
