Laure breaks in to find canvases similar to the paintings of artist Gaston Denis, which hung in her family's chateau. The painter and Dr. Roger would seem to be one and the same person.

Xavier finds a sort of will left by Roger addressed to Laure: a video showing an implant extraction performed by Dr. Roger himself; and a tape of an extraterrestrial announcing he is coming to earth to "take back the children." Laure wants to see Lorenzo again. Erika, Laure's sister-in-law, admits her secret: she had an affair with Lorenzo and fears her husband might find out. Laure decides to hide him.

When he awakens, Lorenzo is overcome with terror. He recalls the images of the plane trip: the turbulence, the plunge into the void, the passengers falling asleep and a strange blue light. Laure and Xavier consult the archives of that period and track down the stewardess. She too has a scar on her forearm, but her implant was surgically removed. Laure returns to the army center and manages to sneak in a USB key on which she records the list of passengers- all but one, who remains unidentified. Erika panics when she hears what Laure has found out: all the children of the passengers on Flight 173 have disappeared. Which means that Lucas, Lorenzo's son, is in danger of being abducted.
