The next morning, the group returns to the seed vault. The concrete has cracked and water is gushing in, so the team focuses on rescuing as many seeds as they can.

The following day, Raff and Rowan are on their way to the vault to continue work when they see the humpback whale who fell on them and her calf stranded on the beach. Raff and Rowan make their way to the whales, where they are joined by Dom, Fen, and Orly. They assess the whales and see that they are still alive. Raff feels hopeless about saving them, but Dom encourages him to think about what they have to do. Raff explains that they have to keep the whales wet to protect their skin. Then, they have to dig trenches so that the whales can be pulled out to sea when the tide comes in. The group gets to work saving the whales.

Rowan feels as if the mother whale is asking her to comfort her baby, so Rowan does. The tide comes back in. Rowan and the Salts push the baby whale out to sea.
