While Ryan and his friends remain suspicious of the base, Natasha tries to convince them that everything is alright: it was the pharmaceutical companies that caused the trouble; her father is finishing his research, legally this time; and the kids at the base are working there to gain experience. Ryan goes snooping to find evidence that would prove that what the kids are doing is unsafe and accidentally destroys two weeks of research in the process. Even after promising Natasha that he’ll keep an open mind, Ryan goes snooping again, this time finding a map that shows the camp as well as a nearby "Forbidden Area." Ryan heads to the Forbidden Area but runs into some falling rocks and needs Eli to save him. Still, Ryan tells Gabe that he still doesn’t believe Eli as Eli eavesdrops on their conversation. Meanwhile, Lily finds out that she doesn't like Josh anymore but she doesn't break up with him since she doesn't want him to get back with Saskia. Unfortunately, Josh hears Lily talking to Em about all of this.
