A news broadcast on the A.R.C. refuge ship on the day the Columbus II reaches Earth.
The crew of the Columbus II lands on planet Earth. They begin to survey the land, while some history of Adam and Karin is revealed.
While Adam and Luke plan out their next steps, Karin discovers the surviving plant life can be quite aggressive. As they trek back to the ship, a sudden dust storm complicates the mission.
The crew pick up the pieces as they realize their ship has left without them. With few supplies left, they start the journey to track down the Columbus II.
Tensions rise as the crew make their way along the unforgiving landscape. Captain Landrey plots out a new course as Luke discovers some ruins from the society that once was.
The crew spread out to explore the ruins, finding relics of the ancient civilization, but curiosity may put one of their lives in danger.
Karin has discovered the first animal life on the planet. Unfortunately, it may be the last thing she ever finds. The men race to save her life as the sun sets on their first day on Earth.
Karin receives a message from a strange figure in her sleep. Is it a warning or just the venom playing tricks with her mind? She urges the crew to keep moving, as Ian, in a flash of excitement over his discoveries, forgets to watch his step.
Ian has discovered first hand the presence of human life on the desolate Earth. The crew must now discover where she came from and if there could be others.
Kira has been caught trying to steal from the Rustlers' camp. We are taken back to the beginning to find out who else has been tracking the crew.
Kira leads the group to find Dagney. When she suddenly runs off, Luke and Adam follow, leaving the team dangerously split in two.
Dagney explains what happened to his ship. A secret told to him by one of his crew before he died hints that one of Adam's crew may have a secondary mission.
