Regan's increasing frustrations with her cochlear implant create tension between her and Lee. This emotional struggle intensifies when she embarks on her own journey to Beau's makeshift memorial, carrying the toy that has plagued their past.

On Day 473, Evelyn faces a horrifying incident as a nail in the stairs leads to an accident just as she prepares for childbirth. The alien's instinctual draw to the sound almost seals the fate of their family once again.

As danger looms, Lee realizes he must protect his family at all costs. The weighing choices lead him to make explosive sacrifices as the tension escalates within the walls of their home.
