After his buddies free him, they go back to the cabin and find that Mike is gone. Billy approaches the flashlight to pull it down and steps in a bear trap. They turn a corner only to find the flashlight suspended by a rope…and no Liz. They enter the barn and see a flashlight. He says that they need to surround Liz and tighten the noose. The cold air won’t do those lungs any good. He had been constantly eating peanut butter and Liz must’ve slipped some poison into it earlier. While Liz is preparing in the barn, one of the four drops dead inside.
Liz tells them who she really is and that the four of them versus her in the snow…it’s going to be practice. Every time Billy breaths, small shards of glass are going into his lungs. Earlier, she broke a glass and, when no one was looking, she slipped shards of it into the ice she was freezing. Liz tells Billy that his habit of eating ice is a bad one. They haven’t bothered her because they need her to keep Mike alive so they can find out what he told the feds. She tells him that the lights are still out because they killed her dog and her friend, Colin. Liz calls Billy on the walkies they had on them when they showed up. Then she finds her dog and Colin, both dead. Liz checks her gun, but the bullets have been removed.
She purposely blows the generator so she can go out to the barn and try the radio again, but the mic cord has been cut. Liz keeps looking for her dog and takes her gun back from Mike. He explains that another ranger showed up on a four-wheeler and he and Colin headed back to town. Just then, the member of the group that went looking for the plane wreckage returns, but Colin isn’t with him. Big Trouble In Little Cabin Will Hart/NBCīilly keeps quizzing Liz, including about why she’s still wearing her wedding ring. He is in witness protection and they are members of the Carlucci crime family. He can barely talk as he’s bleeding out internally, but he tells her those men aren’t his friends. When Liz goes back into the bedroom, Mike is awake. Liz asks Colin if he believes the men and he does. Liz wants to go, but Billy begs her to stay so that he doesn’t have to tell Mike’s wife that he died on his watch. It’s decided that he will leave with one of the men to try and find the plane’s wreckage and try to get its radio working. When she gets back to the cabin, Colin is there. The storm is getting worse and Liz tries her radio again. She starts patching up one of the men, Billy (William Mapother), and he tries to find out her story, but she stays closed off. None of them have much in the way of injuries. The men give Liz a story that they survived a plane crash, along with the guy in her bed (Mike), but she is obviously skeptical. She holds them at gunpoint as a fourth man enters. She finds the injured man, still in bed, surrounded by three other men. When she returns to her cabin, the door is open.
Liz leaves Colin a note that there’s been an emergency at her place and to come when he can. Colin, who has gotten to know her a bit, is stationed there, but he isn’t in at the moment. She also can’t raise anyone on the radio. Liz treks to the nearest rangers station. He appears dead, but when Liz checks for a pulse he grabs her wrist and appears to ask for help. Liz gets the man all stitched and bandaged up, but can’t get her vehicle started to take him into town. She’s also going by a new name, Grace, and she has a dog. Her dog starts going crazy and leads her to the body of a man. Liz is living in a secluded cabin in the woods of Alaska. Well, we did it!
