In town, there is panic. People are lined up at the gas station, and in the Riverside Inn, where Randy goes to find Dan, everyone is in a frenzy trying to contact their relatives and arrange transportation elsewhere. Dan is extremely busy working with a patient who had a heart attack after the bombing, but there are many others who need his help too. Dan promises to come out to do what he can for Peyton as soon as he finishes in the hotel. On the way home Randy passes convicts carrying guns, who clearly revolted against their prison guards as soon as the attack began.
