In this episode, Buck and Stephanie navigate their new life on Palmyra's Atoll after being rescued from a harrowing sea journey. They meet the self-appointed mayor, Jack Wheeler, who introduces them to the island's wildlife and survival skills. As they adapt to island life, they face challenges, including ethical dilemmas surrounding avicide to clear the runway for planes. The couple's relationship is tested by a dog bite incident, complicating their integration into the local community.
