A hurricane is about to hit the island of Avanya, and Henry and
his Oakdale friends are in trouble. The last we saw of Avanya, Katie had
just left to go home and Simon had gone to meet Slade at his boat for the
exchange. Today finds Lucinda and Rose wondering where he is and looking
for Desi to give them information. Henry tells them that soldiers took
Desi away. "What?" asks Rose. "You know, guys in
fatigues with dour expressions. Is there a 'Radio Free Avanya?' That
could be helpful," offers Henry. Paul and Simon rush in; Simon was
unable to make it to the boat. He tells them that there's a hurricane a-brewin'
and they need to leave the island.
Simon explains that there is great commotion at the dock, and
soldiers are rounding up civilians and putting them in jail. "Well
that's an economical way to deal with an ecological disaster," observes
Henry. Terrified Rose wonders what will happen to her Pop if Slade decides
to give up and leave the island. Simon assures her that he won't leave
without the diamond, as he pulls it out of his pocket. "There's my
baby," cries Henry delightedly. "Would you stop it?
Enough!" warns Rose as she pushes him away. Simon says he wants to
check on Katie, but they tell him that she has left to be with Margo. He
is worried about her, but Rose says they need him here.
Simon tries to convince himself that Katie arrived home safe and
will send Lucinda's jet back for them. "Wait a minute, wait a
minute. Katie leaves an island and then she promises to send a plane back
for those left behind? Where have I heard that before and why does it not
fill me with confidence?" asks Henry. Simon says he's going to go to
Slade's boat to get Joe, and tells the rest of them to gather up some supplies
and head to the airport. "I'll start with the bar," volunteers
Henry. Simon prepares to rescue Joe.

[ Avanya - El Capitan Hotel ]
>> Rose: Oh, Ms. Walsh! What did you hear from Desi? Anything about my
pop? Is he all right? What about Simon and Paul?
>> Lucinda: I can't find -- 
>> Rose: Did he take off on his own?
>> Lucinda: I can't find Desi. I can't find anybody that's supposed to be
working in this joint. And the wind is -- a storm coming.
>> Henry: I thought you heard the news. Some soldiers came and took Desi
away early this morning.
>> Rose: What soldiers? What is this?
>> Henry: You know, soldiers -- the guy in the fatigues and sort of dower
facial expression. Hey, is there a Radio Free Avanya? Now, that could be really
helpful.
>> Paul: Rose.
>> Rose: Paul! Paul! I was worried about you? What happened? Oh, my God.
>> Lucinda: Are you?
>> Rose: Did you get on Slade's boat by yourself? What happened? 
>> Paul: I was. But before I got there, I found Simon on the side of road.
>> Lucinda: Well, what happened? What happened? Did you give him the
diamond? Did you give Slade the diamond?
>> Simon: No. No, I couldn't get through to make the trade.
>> Lucinda: Is it because of the military?
>> Simon: That's not the half of it. Rose, your father's not the only one
in danger here.
>> Rose: Why? What happened?
>> Simon: Mother Nature happened. A hurricane's about to rip through this
island. We don't want to be here when it does.
[ Avanya - El Capitan Hotel ]
>> Simon: The dock where Slade's boat is moored is teeming with soldiers.
>> Rose: What are they doing?
>> Simon: Hauling stuff -- weapons, supplies, trying to get everything to
a higher ground. 
All around town, they're
rounding up civilians and throwing them into jail.
>> Henry: Well, that's an economical way to deal with an ecological
disaster.
>> Rose: What's that mean for my pop? What about Slade? Is he gonna stick
around for the diamond, or is he gonna just vamoose before the storm hits?
>> Lucinda: Slade is not gonna leave without the diamond!
>> Rose: What if he gives up and throws my pop over --
>> Simon: Listen, Rose. Rose, Slade has worked too hard and come too far
to leave without this. [ Simon pulls out the diamond ]
>> Henry: There's my baby.
>> Rose: Enough already. Would you stop it?
>> Paul: All right. Hey, hey, hey, we got enough time before this storm
hits to get Joe out of here.
>> Simon: It's fine. It's fine. I got a plan. 
>> Henry: Well, share it, please.
>> Simon: Look, I just want to go upstairs, okay? First, check in with
Katie.
>> Lucinda: Katie is not here. She left.
>> Simon: What?
>> Lucinda: She left. She got a message from Margo, who's quite ill, and
she was needed, and she left.
>> Simon: And you believed this message?!
>> Paul: I took her to the airport myself, Simon.
>> Lucinda: The jet took off fine. She's home. She's safe and sound.
>> Simon: You're kidding me, right? Oh! Hijackings are as common as
cockroaches down here! Katie --
>> Rose: She had to go, all right? She was worrying about you, but she had
to deal with her sister, okay? Don't worry about Katie. She's got nine lives,
that one. She'll be fine. But you -- we need you here. Please, do not -- Simon!
We need you. Do not freak out on us now.
[ Avanya - El Capitan Hotel ]
>> Simon: All right, so Katie's left. She's gonna be okay. I have to
believe that, right? 
She's gonna get home
safe, and then she's gonna send the jet back for us.
>> Henry: No, wait a minute, wait a minute. Katie leaves an island, and
then she promises to send a plane back to pick up those she left behind. Where
have I heard that before? And why does it not instill me with confidence?
>> Rose: That's enough, okay? We're goin' home, on that plane, and we're
gonna be with my pop, too. All of us.
>> Lucinda: Shh, shh, shh. Hush, kids, please. Simon, you say you have a
plan?
>> Simon: I know how to get onto Slade's boat.
>> Paul: All right, I'm going with you.
>> Simon: No. I'm gonna get Joe. You stay here, get as many supplies as
you can. Tarps, water, whatever you can get your hands on.
>> Henry: I'll start with the bar.
>> Simon: This place is gonna be a zoo as soon as that hurricane hits.
People are gonna storm it. I'll get Joe, bring him back here. We're gonna get
the hell out of here.
>> Lucinda: Good luck.
>> Paul: All right, ladies, let's go!
>> Lucinda: All right, come on, come on.
