The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe plane people leave. Claude sends his staff home, then sits down, turns on the TV, and finally cries. He had not let himself cry the whole time. Everyone else returns to a life that no longer fits: smoke over Manhattan, a firehouse with no news, a child too scared for school. Kevin breaks up. Nick and Diane can only call. Then Hannah phones Gander Academy: her son is gone. Watch people thank strangers for still flying.
