Gone

Bug appears and provides Sam with Caine’s demands: to gather his people in the plaza, put down their weapons and surrender, and then Sam and Caine can fight alone. If Sam wins, Drake will let the little kids live, and the town kids can go free. Sam asks if Bug is okay with threatening toddlers and babies, and he replies that he doesn’t want to feel Caine’s or Drake’s wrath. Sam reluctantly agrees.

Mary attempts to keep the children and her younger brother John calm as Drake and the coyotes supervise. Taylor suddenly teleports in with a bag of McDonald’s. She flings the food against the wall and teleports out. The coyotes attack the hamburgers. Drake calls for order, yet the coyotes keep eating. The wall lifts and pushes outward, blasting coyotes. Dekka used her gravity skills, and Edilio screams for everyone to get down. Sam blasts the wall with his burning light.

Some coyotes lay dead while others flee. Drake yells that they’re cowards, but then Sam nearly blasts him. Drake retreats too. Quinn has another shot at Drake, and Brianna again urges him to shoot. Sam rushes outside the daycare and fights Drake. With Sam’s life on the line, Quinn finally fires his gun. He misses Drake, but the shot scares him away. Sam shouts his thanks to Quinn.

Brianna runs beside Sam, who asks her to follow Drake but not fight him. The others are gathering in the plaza, as Caine requested. Bug appears, and Sam says to tell Caine he should come fight, unless he’s scared.

Bug reports that Sam and the others are ready. Caine and his crew see the coyotes retreating, and Caine curses that Sam got the daycare back. Caine commands the coyotes to hunt, saying all kids are meat for the taking. Pack Leader says he only obeys the Darkness, adding that “fire first” is strong, meaning Sam. Caine states he will take care of Sam and the coyotes can eat any kids they want. The pack re-enters the battle.

Howard reunites with Orc, who has turned into a mostly rock beast. As the rock giant, Orc is incredibly strong, and Howard comments that he can make a difference in the fight. Depressed, Orc wants more beer, so Howard leads him outside to restock.

The town kids gather, but Jack crashes his SUV into a building, screaming that he can save Sam. Caine and his posse arrive; coyotes attack kids; gunfire fills the air. Caine uses his levitation powers on the church steeple to attack Astrid and Pete. It crumbles, and Sam begs Caine to stop. Jack grabs Sam’s leg, blabbering that he can resist the vanishing. But Sam concentrates on the church and Astrid, feeling helpless as Caine collapses it. He jumps at Caine.

The brothers battle throughout the streets, and Caine runs into the burnt apartment. They collide, their super abilities evenly matched—until Caine brings the building down on top of Sam, and he falls along with the floor.

Quinn is frozen with shock at the deadly battle. He retreats to the beach, then halts and finds his courage. He wields his gun like a club, joining the fray.

Drake hears the coyotes howling and emerges from his house after regaining his composure from nearly being shot. He rushes outside to find Howard and Orc, whom he degrades until Orc attacks him. Drake snaps his whip arm, but rock-giant Orc is barely fazed.

Astrid climbs from the church’s rubble. She blocked Pete with her body, but a piece of the building fell on Pete’s head. He’s still breathing, but he’s badly hurt. Astrid sobs for help, then prays. Slowly, the rubble rises off from Dekka’s anti-gravity.

Caine believes he’s the victor, leaving Sam under the rubble. Pack Leader and Diana meet Caine, and the coyote says Diana told them to stop. Diana explains the coyotes don’t need to hurt anyone else since they’ve won; Sam is dead, and they can quit.

Caine notices a blinding, green-white light from the rubble though. The light arcs, and Sam emerges. Caine throws rubble at him, but Sam burns it with his light before it can touch him. Caine dashes back toward the church.

Astrid carries Pete to safety. She knows Lana can heal Pete, but she sees Caine and is consumed by anger. She charges at Caine, who grabs her and uses her as bait for Sam. He tells Caine to be a “man” and release her, but Caine mocks that he will rule the town after Sam vanishes.

Diana tries to warn Sam about how to beat the temptation of the vanishing light, but Caine flings her away with his powers. Astrid twirls out of his grip, giving Sam a clear path to blast his brother.

Before Sam can release his light energy on Caine, he is transported into the disappearing sequence. His beautiful, serene mother appears in heavenly light and says it’s time. Sam resists, stating that she lied to him and that he needs to stay and save the others. His mom, Connie, begs him to join her, stating it will be like before the FAYZ.

Caine appears beside Sam. Connie beckons to her sons, telling them they can be a happy family. Though she reaches out, Sam denies her again, and Caine shouts for him to go. Caine sighs that Jack must have warned him, but Sam says no, he has too much to do here. Their mother’s form twists into ugly, ringed teeth and fire-green eyes. The monster states that one day Caine will come to it willingly.

Sam and Caine are transported to their world. Diana and Astrid stare in shock as Sam jumps atop Caine and puts his hands against his temple. He could kill his brother, but he allows him to live after he agrees to end the violence. Caine laughs that Sam shouldn’t have let him live because only one of them will survive next time. Diana reluctantly joins Caine as they leave.

Drake and Orc fight to the draw. Diana snaps that Drake should know when to quit, but he replies he never will. Lana heals Pete first. Sam basks in the fact the war is over, and though Edilio agrees, he says they have graves to dig. 

The kids enjoy Albert’s Thanksgiving feast. They have a massive picnic, and Computer Jack rigs up music. Lana and Dahra worked diligently to heal the injured. They buried the dead and mourned them. Now, Sam and Astrid sit closely as he tells shares his “crazy” idea to send the leftovers to Coates Academy for Caine and his people. Astrid agrees it would be a nice gesture. Sam believes the war isn’t fully over, but she brings his attention to the present, since everyone is expecting a speech.

Sam rises and thanks Albert for the feast, those who sacrificed their lives, and everyone for their courage. Though he tells them the road ahead will be hard, and likely scary and lonely, the FAYZ is their world now, and they can make it better and brighter. Everyone cheers. Sam asks Quinn, Edilio, and Lana to watch Pete while he and Astrid walk along the beach.

In the desert, Caine walks with Pack Leader. He asks how much longer until they arrive, and Pack Leader says that the Darkness is near.
